I'm sure our esteemed regulators could conceivably sound more like the mafia, but certainly "A court decision can still help us as enforcers notwithstanding the results" leaves very little room. https://t.co/fD9nRSqvKQ

I think it’s relatively clear that the FTC wants even embarrassing losses used as marketing for new antitrust laws. Not really the way an agency *should* behave (they have only the power granted to them), but certainly in line with what we’ve seen and heard from them.

Remember I said a couple weeks ago that I heard someone say this, now Hoeg is essentially saying the same. Basically the FTC doesn't care about losing in court, they're using the losses to build a narrative that they can't get anything done without changes to the law, a loss in court is still a win in their view.
