    And telephones use numbers and they print phone books. Lol. That’s just ridiculous. It seems on the face of it to be a purposeful misinterpretation to skirt the law. Could there be consequences for that?

      In theory, yes. In practice… Ajit Pai is a lawyer and he’s probably smart enough to avoid doing anything that is blatantly illegal. Or at least, avoid doing anything that would leave behind an evidence trail that could see him taking the fall for anything illegal.

        Plenty of lawyers don’t really know what they’re doing, especially in Trump’s orbit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just betting on being on the side of political power and being able to get away with it.
