Google Was 3 Hours Away From DOJ Antitrust Charges

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-evil-we-swear dept.

turnkeylinux writes "Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. called off their joint advertising agreement just three hours before the Department of Justice planned to file antitrust charges to block the pact, according to the lawyer who would have been lead counsel for the government. 'We were going to file the complaint at a certain time during the day,' says Litvack, who rejoins Hogan & Hartson today. 'We told them we were going to file the complaint at that time of day. Three hours before, they told us they were abandoning the agreement.'"

    Yeah, because all of that Due Process of the Law stuff is just a waste. It's better for the Gov't agents to just intimidate the private sector.
