Department of Justice on AT&T lawsuit: "We don't file lawsuits to posture."
The quote of the day come from Acting Assistant Attorney General Sharis Pozen, who has filed a Justice Department lawsuit against AT&T and Deutsche Telekom seeking to block the takeover to T-Mobile.
Thought AT&T's PR machine has been spining like crazy the notion that a settlement of the case with divestitures and conditions is really what the Department of Justice seeks, Pozen put that to rest in questioning from participants at a Fordham Law School event last week.
The Wall Street Journal quotes Pozen saying quite plainly:
"We don't file lawsuits to posture, we file them when there are violations of the law."
Got that AT&T?
