Thats funny, if Bezo thinks Trump was a factor in Amazons loosing the bid...why on earth would he think a federal lawsuit would have a chance of accomplishing anything?! (Trump could put pressure on the judge just as easily) lol

You think they only look at one vendor at source selection. This is another ploy to blame Trump. What else don’t they blame Trump?

Of course not

It is well documented that AWS was the front runner until Trump got involved

You think that's ok? You think federal contracts should be awarded based on the president's petty squabbles?

You think it's ok for a president to intimidate a judge?

So? It’s well documented that Bezos is going berserk, how else do you explain he dumped his wife to go after that ugly girl friend of his. A piece of trash. Try to protest that decision.
What criteria is the question?

The Pentagon's selection had nothing to do with Trump, there is a long-established vendor selection process that has been in place long before President Trump took office. Azure is simply a better fit at the Pentagon since they standardized on Windows in the mid-90s. Bezos is unhappy since his decision to move a lot of work to the DC area, he thought that would influence the pentagon decision but that's not how DoD-selection works. I know, I was employed there for several years and understand the procurement process.

Documented? Where?


Do they post confidential bids online somewhere?
