      Except the tech companies are among the politicians’ biggest “donors”.

      Public cloud computing companies that want to host government IT workloads still have to be Fedramp compliant. Doesn’t matter how much their donors pay, if they aren’t Fedramp compliant they can’t bid for the work.

        Yeah but donations can help make procurement tenders slightly in favour of donors. Or get inside scoop so they have time to be ready.
