The day before the Federal Trade Commission sued Intel for antitrust in December - upsetting the deal Intel thought it had in place to avoid any suit and adding those Nvidia charges - Intel filed a motion objecting to J Thomas Rosch, one of its old outside antitrust lawyers, being one of the three FTC commissioners voting on its fate, especially since he's supposed to be a hardliner dedicated to antitrust enforcement and reportedly the prime mover in the Intel case. Needless to say, the FTC ignored Intel's protest. Intel waited too long, expecting the negotiations to go its way. Given that the FTC's administrative judge found for the FTC in 16 out of 16 cases in the last 27 years, Intel stands little chance of not being convicted come its trial in September. Resigned, Intel is anticipating using the rejection in its appeal.
