Tal, it's clear that's how it works with this admin, they hold a gun to your head and say "hey, that's a nice business you have there, sure would hate for anything to happen to it." Then they make it very expensive and difficult to fight it so you pay the fine and get back to work.
Plus, the key here is it was a partisan witch hunt. Their Democrat donating competitor doing the same thing was left alone.
Again, get your head out of the sand.
