They are wondering if the close ties constitute a violation of antitrust laws now that the two companies are increasingly participating in the same markets.

How can the government accuse these companies of potentially violating antitrust laws, when they themselves violated the antitrust acts of 1890 with the recent bailout crap? Seems too much of a double standard to be legal in any way.
