This is the tweet; FTC has to file a lawsuit so they can file a consent for concessions.

So, if the sources are correct, FTC is preparing to get concessions out of Microsoft at minimum and attempting to block it at maximum.

I'm 50% on this deal passing at this stage though.

Huh, interesting to know. Although I don't get why they have to prepare (or file) a lawsuit to get concessions (I guess to make the concessions legally binding? although a simple contract would serve that same purpose I would have thought). Also agreed, I'm down to about 50% chance of it passing too. As the saying goes though "where one door closes another opens" so I would be interested in what MS strategy will be if the deal is blocked.
