Did someone really expect US to seriously damage Boeing, one of the few manufacturing companies that still produce in the country?

Had some discussions about the infamous corporate corruption trials that the US wages against foreign (mostly EU based) companies.

People here assured me that the US justice system was not leaning heavily on these companies because they were foreign in a bid to tank said companies a trigger a fire sale to an American company.

I was also assured that US companies would get the same treatment. I can't wait to have this fair justice dealt.
