Nunes is a crooked as they come. Makes sense that Oracle would be working with the trump allies. DJT's presidency is just a front for making money, taking bribes from companies like Oracle, shuffling people around at the top who are given jobs they have no background for.
It's all crap. I'm starting to think that Oracle is mostly an organized crime front. It runs on money from the old DB. Development of other products is fake and the people at the top are corrupt and incompetent.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
The Silicon Valley Giant Bankrolling Devin Nunes
Top executives at Oracle threw money to the controversial congressman just weeks after hiring a similarly controversial Nunes ally.

Weeks after they hired a controversial former Trump national security aide with ties to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), top executives at the tech company Oracle made substantial donations to Nunes’ 2018 re-election campaign.
The donations, which totalled nearly $35,000 came from five executives, several of whom gave so much that they surpassed the legal limit and had to be refunded. What made the donations stand out, however, was not the size of them—$35,000 was a relatively small amount considering the more than $1.2 million that Nunes has raised so far this cycle. It was the timing of the giving.
IBM/Oracle - two sh--ty companies i used to work for. not surprised by the news at all.
"Phoenix is a classic example of a government wanting to save money on an expensive new technology project by cutting the number of employees working on it, only to discover later that those people were essential to seeing it through, said Nigel Wallis, a vice president with research firm IDC Canada. Other companies considered the project and decided against bidding because it looked too complex, but IBM went ahead, Wallis said."
Sounds like IBM got greedy. Interesting that Oracle didn't big on the project itself Or did it, and they lost to IBM?)
OMG
heads will roll
