Whatever "antitrust community" might be, if exists, almost by definition will be filled with people who are on balance biased towards more extreme enforcement of antitrust. Otherwise they would have no reason for being.

So not surprising at all that the "antitrust community" on average would be pro an FTC witchhunt whatever the basis may be on paper.

Absolutely not.

I want to get antitrust enforcement right not to just “do more of it”

Do you consider yourself part of the "antitrust community?" Ok, if so, please let me know then, "doing it right," in your own opinion, entails doing more or less than is done now, in aggregate?

There are a sizeable bunch of antitrust scholars/economists/lawyers who are very much against stronger enforcement. For instance, see [1].
