MLex Summary: Roger Alford, the former principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, said he hopes a California federal judge blocks the now-completed $14 billion merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprises and Juniper Networks. "Although I am limited in what I can say, it is my opinion that in the HPE/Juniper merger scandal Chad Mizelle and Stanley Woodward perverted justice and acted inconsistent with the rule of law. I am not given to hyperbole, and I do not say that lightly. As part of the forthcoming Tunney Act proceedings, it would be helpful for the court to clarify the substance and the process by which the settlement was reached," Alford said in a speech.
