HAL will take the DOJ to court. Here is a case that DOJ lost, not sure of its relevance...but they lost an antitrust suit.
The Oracle-PeopleSoft decision is a loud message for the Bush administration.

In response to media inquiries on recent reports in the press, on September 11, 2015 Halliburton Company issued the following statement to certain media outlets:
With respect to Halliburton’s previously announced divestiture plans relating to its Fixed Cutter and Roller Cone Drill Bits, Directional Drilling and Logging-While-Drilling (LWD)/Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD) businesses, Halliburton has not been told by the U.S. Department of Justice that the DOJ or any other competition authorities would require those businesses to be sold to one buyer. Halliburton is continuing to market these businesses separately and will be considering bids for each business from a variety of interested parties in the near future. While Halliburton has not reached understandings with any competition authorities about the adequacy of the proposed divestitures or any potential purchaser(s), these divestiture processes are proceeding as planned.
They will have to pay the iron price.
Who gives a f***! Hope they both sink!
