“What we will not accept is the idea that the mere act of divestiture is enough –that if companies simply spin off a few assets, we will withdraw our objections and the merger can proceed. That simply isn’t true. The Department of Justice is not interested in settling for the sake of settling; we are willing to settle only when we have a high degree of confidence that an agreement will preserve competition and protect consumers in every market that a merger affects. The more complex the deal – and the more markets it potentially endangers – the greater our skepticism that divestiture will safeguard competition. And if we believe that no good solution exists, then we will prosecute our suits to the very end.”
