Broadcom, its baffling $19bn CA biz gobble, and the fake Pentagon memo crying about national security

The “weirdest acquisition ever” – Broadcom's $19bn proposed takeover of CA Technologies – ran into a rather strange road-bump this week: a fake US military memo passed around American politicians on Capitol Hill.
That bogus missive – apparently signed off by the Department of Defense – asserted that the acquisition faced a probe by the US Treasury's committee on foreign investment regarding national security concerns with the biz gobble, which was announced in July.
