Per @WSJ: Amazon’s stealing trade secrets from independent businesses to develop competing products.

We noticed they also lied to Congress about it. Which is, you know, a crime. https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-scooped-up-data-from-its-own-sellers-to-launch-competing-products-11587650015">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...

5/ Perjury is still a crime, even when Amazon does it.

“The Committee should make a criminal referral for perjury, and the Department of Justice should investigate what Mr. Sutton knew and when he knew it.” - Economic Liberties ED @sarahmillerdc
