This is merely the latest | tactic to achieve this goal," Wasden told ET. "They are trying to | make the process so expensive for companies doing third-party | placement that they will go out of business," he added. | | Wasden represents US industry body IT Serve Alliance, one of the | plaintiffs challenging the fee rule in court. Will Trump nominate NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Ur M Jaddou at USCIS.GOV and how much does Amy Swonger predict it will cost Trump to convince John Thune or Rick Scott to consent? John groenveld@acm.org -- "There's a non-trivial chance Trump and his team called for Jan. 6 2.0 protests, stoked in-fighting by demanding DeSantis and everyone else throw themselves on the sword for Trump based on a lie about an impending arrest. If that's the case, the campaign needs to be crushed." - Pedro Gonzalez
