(CNN) -- Verizon pulled a rabbit out of its corporate hat earlier this month. The wireless giant announced a multibillion-dollar deal to purchase rights to largely unused spectrum, which is like an open lane on the congested wireless Internet highway. Verizon purchased these rights from Comcast and Time Warner, two large cable-TV companies, and the smaller Bright House Networks. Sound familiar? AT&T made a similarly surprising move in March, declaring its intention to buy T-Mobile, in large part to get access to T-Mobile's underused spectrum. The AT&T deal drew the wrath of the Justice Department and the FCC. Indeed, it appears the current incarnation of the AT&T proposed merger is dying a slow death. U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle agreed on Monday to a request from both sides to delay the merger hearing, and asked AT&T to supply information on whether it will pursue a different deal with T-Mobile.Writers: Verizon, AT&T deals are attempts to get more spectrum for wireless servicesSpectrum, or bandwidth, is getting scarce because it is badly used, they maintainWashington could sell spectrum for billions of dollars, they say, still minimize monopoliesWriters: Until then, regulators should look more kindly on telecom mergers 
 Question:Unlike the proposed AT&T/T-Mobile merger, _'s acquisition doesn't involve taking millions of subscribers from a competitor, thereby increasing concentration in the wireless market.

(CNN) Though many individuals likely contributed to the President's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, one notable one may have been Roger Stone, a 64-year-old close friend of Donald Trump and central figure in the FBI investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia. In the middle of the Watergate scandal, Stone, who engaged in dirty tricks during Richard Nixon's 1972 campaign, was discovered to have hired a Republican operative to infiltrate the George McGovern campaign and was subsequently fired from his job. After the President's resignation, Stone remained an ardent Nixon apologist and loyalist. He even had the man's face tattooed on his back and devoted his life to ruthless, anything-goes politics (or political consulting, as you may know it). Stone's motto was and continues to be: "Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack." And anyone who has watched Trump closely over the years would think it was his personal slogan, too.Michael D'Antonio: Roger Stone has undoubtedly influenced President Trump's decision to fire James ComeyAs an old friend and political adviser, Stone has taught Trump be ruthless -- particularly when protecting himself from attackTherefore Comey, who was leading the investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia, had to be taken out, writes D'Antonio 
 Question:_ has adopted a similar approach to dealing with those who oppose him.
Donald Trump

Apart from the overriding aim of beating Real Madrid on Saturday in the El Clasico, Luis Suarez can pass a major career milestone by scoring his 39th goal for Barcelona and passing Diego Maradona's goals tally. Argentina legend Maradona scored 38 goals in his two seasons at the club, while Romario found the back of the net 39 times. When Suarez so nearly dragged Liverpool to the Premier League title two seasons ago some saw a similarity between what he was achieving and what Maradona had achieved at Napoli. It was a temperamental talisman taking an unfancied sleeping giant to unimagined glory.Luis Suarez's next goal will be his 39th for La Liga giants BarcelonaDiego Maradona scored 38 goals for Barcelona, while Romario netted 39 times for Nou Camp outfitBarca fans hold Suarez in high regard despite previous anticsRead: Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona training five days before ClasicoSee the latest news and updates on Luis Suarez
