Of course, they'd LOVE to win, but we can see very clearly from the statements made by them that they consider the act of fighting the fight a noble goal in and of itself, and that they absolutely will continue to push that envelope. 

Yeah but also FTC is limited on funds and that kind of reckless shit is wasting those limited funds and will eventually piss off Democrats/Republicans. There is speculation that they are doing this, picking fights all over, to eventually force a change in law.

I do agree that they think it is a noble goal but I think it's risky to assume FTC is THIS stupid and just doing shit for the hell of it, as if they have no plan, which is just overly optimistic in favour of Microsoft. Their plan IMHO is very clearly hinging on the CMA blocking the deal and delay tactics which have worked in the past, so it's a somewhat smart plan.

We're not Microsoft though, who should now be putting their full attention into making CMA approves this deal no matter what.

We shouldn't assume that the people you think are completely relying on outside regulators to get a "win" here, but are simultaneously lying about the proceedings taking place under the supervision of outside regulators, and are asserting this in legal documents outlining their case no less, are stupid? 

I mean...we certainly shouldn't think they're playing 4D chess, that's for sure lol
