Tbh. Maybe they don't care about their arguments making sense, maybe their true intention is to push CMA into blocking the deal, or maybe they already know CMA will block the deal, that way FTC can sue with whatever dumb arguments they come up with, it won't matter if it never makes it to court and the way it doesn't make it to court is if CMA blocks the deal which would effectively kill the deal.

If that is their play, it's smart, if it isn't their play then this is a really stupid move.
