The envelope please: The Tipline for 26 March 2019

You may see GCR reporters scattered around Washington, DC, today. But tonight we’ll all be gathered at the Four Seasons in Georgetown for the GCR Awards, where we will honour lawyers, economists and agencies – as well as two people for their lifetime achievements in antitrust. One prior winner of that award – former Federal Trade Commission chair Bill Kovacic – went back to the agency yesterday to criticise its lack of disclosure about the Google investigation.
