I think this is meant to try and make it more of a political issue. Of course the problem is I don't think most regular people care at all if Microsoft or Amazon get the contract. Actually many regular people would probably prefer nobody get the contract.

In other words, this comes across as a hail mary.

To be fair, Trump probably did cause the contract to go to Microsoft.

Ironically, you're right, most people don't care about the issue at all (I certainly don't). But it sounds to me by your own account it's already a deeply political issue.

If Trump really is the one who threw a wrench in the process, in theory they just need to hold up the contract until 2021 if much of the DoD begins getting cleaned out by a political competitor.
