Yup - but it's still not likely that they spent or faced millions.
Maybe - I really don't know myself, but I doubt it. I would more
likely suspect a deal was put on the table immediately by DOJ so
they could show a "win". Was probably not a bad deal, all things
considered - but we'll never know the "all things" part of that...

What they spent to date and faced continuing to fight in direct legal
costs is just the tip of the iceberg...but to build enough of a case
to actual stand in federal court against DOJ I wouldn't be at all
surprised if it at least pushed the six figure amount for legal costs
alone.

Please go back to the original posts. They probably did not, and perhaps
would not have spend "millions" on this. All of the rest that you posted is
not relevant.
