This is not the first time I have had the feeling our elected crooks in Washington, D.C. will continue to hammer Apple to force it to pay them off in order to continue doing business without many road blocks in the United States.
After the tax evasion farce, I remember reading an article that said Apple most likely would have to start spending more money in Washington to keep the bad from happening.
Looking at how the ITC banned the import of some Apple devices due Apple being unwilling to negotiate cross-licensing its non-FRAND patents with Samsung to use Samsung's FRAND patents is pretty telling.
It is amazing Google was forced to drop its pursuits of banning devices that used its FRAND patents, but Samsung is being given a free pass with the US government's blessing to rip off Apple by using FRAND patents!
