Daily Caller: Microsoft was given an advance copy of major antitrust legislation, a document given to Republican Rep. Thomas Massie by a whistleblower appeared to show.
The document is the original version of the Platform Competition and Opportunity Act, one of Democrats’ six pending antitrust bills targeting Big Tech, according to Rep. Thomas Massie. Every page of the document, which the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained on Wednesday, is watermarked with the text “CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft.”
“I just came into possession of a document that everyone needs to know about,” Massie said during the Judiciary Committee markup of the legislation on Wednesday. “It’s marked ‘CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft.’ A whistleblower provided this. It’s the first draft of one of these bills that would’ve covered Microsoft. This begs the question: did Microsoft have this bill and the other bills that we are voting on today before I had this bill?”
“Why would you have to mark it ‘CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft’ if they found it on the website for Congress,” he said. more here
Who else would help draft the bill, Hillary & her tech support with Hammers, bleach bit, delete browser History and Servers stored in High Security Shitters.
Well that answers that.
I heard some talking heads going on about how Microsoft is the only tech company left out of the tech bills coming to Congress.
Seriously, how many in congress have more than rudimentary knowledge of computers or anything else?
It is so fucking amazing that we are ruled by absolute MORONS!
Of course big tech has their hands in everything.
Zuckerberg bought at least 40 million BALLOTS (not votes) for *biden.
It’s a Corporate/Government Axis – has been for a century or more.
How do you think 1200 pages of ObolaCare was produced in a matter of hours?
Nobody really believes that corrupt dullards like Pelosi and Biden have the capacity to pen legislation. I’m pretty sure it occurs at the State level, as well. Most politicians are simple actors – playing a part and getting a big payday at the expense of the taxpayer. This is why they seem like liars and hypocrites (actually, they are) but many of them are simply too fukkin dumb to know what lying and hypocrisy are – thus, the lobbyists produce the legislation – and the suitcases full of cash to see that it’s passed.
But everybody knows that!

Antitrust laws for thee, but not for the well-connected.
Level playing field indeed!
