The last major antitrust action on this scale in the U.S. 8 years to process.

This type of lawsuit is why the billionaire bro's are backing the senile rapist and felon. Making them play somewhat fair ruins their business plan.
A major issue for the US is that when the president changes, the DOJ can simply elect to stop processing the suit. It's hard to get 8 years of uninterrupted movement on an action like this.
Msft under W for instance.
A big part of the "Cheney family endorses Harris" push has been corporate flacks racking up favors with the Dem side of the aisle so Harris can replace her cabinet with people who are more business-friendly in the next term.
They're playing both sides. This isn't just "Trump Wins: Things Get Worse" / "Harris Wins: Things Stay The Same Amount of Bad".
