Why did we see the Ninth Circuit switch their rulings? What happened?
Did AG Barr speak to them? They made deals to avoid prosecution?

Trump appointed 4 Judges to 9th circuit
Bade’s confirmation marks the fourth appointment by President Donald Trump to the Ninth Circuit, a court that he has frequently criticized for ruling against his administration. Trump has also appointed Mark Bennett, Ryan Nelson and Eric Miller to Ninth Circuit seats based in Hawaii, Idaho and Washington, respectively. Bade’s addition to the Ninth Circuit bench will mean that nine of the court’s 25 current judges were appointed by Republican presidents. Two more Trump nominees—Kenneth Lee and Daniel Collins, both of California—received a confirmation hearing in the Senate Judiciary earlier this month and await a vote by the committee..

TOP LOBBYIST WILL LEAVE INTEL
Peter Cleveland, Intel’s top in-house lobbyist, is leaving the company. Steven Rodgers, Intel’s executive vice president and general counsel, wrote in an internal email obtained by PI that Cleveland had decided to leave Intel but didn’t offer further explanation. Cleveland, a former chief of staff to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) whom Intel hired in 2008 to lead the company’s Washington office, confirmed his departure. “Exiting on good terms, no plans just yet,” he wrote in an email to PI. His last day will be June 28.
— Jeff Rittener will lead Intel’s governments, markets and trade group on an interim basis, Rodgers wrote in the internal email. “I will conduct a robust search (internal and external) to find the best candidate to lead GMT,” Rodgers wrote. “That is what you deserve, and what Intel needs.”
CHINESE COMPANIES TURN TO K STREET TO FEND OFF THREATS FROM WASHINGTON: “President Donald Trump has done everything he can to squeeze Huawei over the past year, bringing criminal charges against the Chinese telecommunications company, moving to block it from buying American technology and trying to convince foreign governments to crack down on the company,” POLITICO’s Theodoric Meyer reports. “Now other Chinese companies are turning to K Street to keep the same thing from happening to them.”
— “Eight other Chinese companies have spent at least $7.9 million hiring Washington lobbying and public relations firms since last spring, right before Trump cracked down on a different Chinese telecom company, ZTE, according to a POLITICO analysis of disclosure filings. That’s nearly eight times what the same companies spent in the same period a year earlier.” The companies — including BYD, which makes electric buses; CRRC, a state-owned railcar manufacturer; DJI, a Chinese drone company; Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit; Hikvision, which makes surveillance cameras; the radio company Hytera; the steelmaker Jinghua Rizhao; and ZTE — “have hired more than two dozen additional lobbyists over the past year, including former lawmakers and Trump campaign veterans.”
— “The ramp-up shows how Chinese companies, which in the past have been hesitant to play the Washington influence game, are increasingly worried about threats from the Trump administration, as well as Democrats and Republicans in Congress eager to crack down on China.” And it’s been driven in part by what’s happened since Trump decided to home in on Huawei and ZTE last year. ZTE has spent millions of dollars on K Street in response, with some success. Huawei’s approach “has been the opposite — and the company has little to show for it.”
