The DOJ is looking into the proposed deal between Paul Marks and UBA. The show is extremely vague about why, though it's pretty normal for there to be quite a bit of regulatory scrutiny into the purchase of a major media company, so that at least tracks. There are also frequent references to Marks maybe not being the most ethical person, mostly with references to how some of his tech (which he bought from Stella for a steal back when she was part of that incubator) is being used for racial profiling in police enforcement. That does sound shady but also it's unclear what implication it would have on him buying UBA.

Anyway, one of the people who thinks Marks is shady is Cory's mom, who also has a ton of political contacts, and she apparently is one of the people spearheading an effort to get the DOJ to look further into the deal. She has apparently been taking numerous calls with people at DOJ to press the issue.

So Leonard (the Stephen Fry character, who I think is board chairman now that Cybil is gone) tells Cory to deal with it because obviously no one at UBA wants Cory's mom to torpedo the deal with Marks, which is necessary to the company surviving without a major bailout.

So Cory goes to his mom's to get her to stop poking at the deal with her DOJ contacts, and he takes Bradley with him for.. reasons.[/quote]
Wow — I thought the DOJ was poking around the insurrection footage and would subpoena uba/Reese, etc etc. I guess I should pay closer attention. [/quote]
