So, who are the owners of home depot? Has the ownership changed recently? Who else are they doing business with? Where does their merchandise come from?
"Focus" is one thing, but to refuse to sell a hammer or a bucket of paint to customers outside of "focus" is plain bizarre - they can't even sell an item to a private citizen if they suspect it would be used by the feds. Something is going on here.
Nah, they just want to be sure that their show is fully staged. They need to be able to say in court that they did all they reasonably could in order to NOT do business with the federal government. They aren't going to worry about "suspecting" what somebody does - - the guidelines keep things pretty simple and straightforward. No government credit cards, no delivery to government addresses, and no written records which would indicate government addresses, payments, or uses of purchased materials.
