Google is a politicized, leftist organization. It is not capable of running an impartial investigation.

Ever since Google field workers and Google executives helped Obama and Clinton organize their Arab Spring destabilization ploy in Egypt and Libya, the Russians have targeted Google.

Facebook too.

Can’t say as I blame them.

Google is conducting a broad internal investigation to determine whether Russian-linked entities used its ads or services to try to manipulate voters ahead of the U.S. election, according to a person familiar with the matter, a move that comes after Facebook and Twitter said Russian actors used their sites.

I'm sure they will "find" the evidence they are looking for. Much like the Russians once conducted investigations and "found" signed confessions of the people they were investigating. (Pay no attention to those red stains; must be borscht.) Google doing their good Stalinist work as part of the democrat/communist media/academia propaganda complex. The irony is not lost on me.

I would much rather see the headline with Google and Russian reversed.

What we really need is a Congressional investigation of Google’s relationship with the Central Intelligence Agency and NSA.

So Google and Facebook are going to try to frame Trump?

Sure sounds like it. I am sure it will 100% accurate, just like telling half truths is accurate.

Google news seemed to be on the Democrats payroll during the entire election process and now the Trump Presidency. I think they’re running out of new anti-Trump stories to run. That is why they’ve got to start “investigating” Russian influence.

You nailed it. There was much more malfeasance from Google as it pertains to collusion with the Clinton campaign and illegal interference in the 2016 elections than Russia ever did.
Question is, why is the GOP congress not conducting a serious investigation into these high crimes by Google?

This game of looking for one category of influence only (pro-Trump or anti-Hillary connected to Russia) produces an inflammatory result with no context or sense of proportion.

To produce something useful, Google must select an appropriate time period (such as 1-1-2014 through 12-31-2017), and political races (US Presidential primaries and general election, plus associated issues) then analyze ALL political ads for candidates and issues during said period. How many; when were they run; cost; who bought them; who actually paid for them; what and/or who they were for or against. With that data in hand, it might be possible to understand what was happening, and whether any crimes occurred. Anything narrower is a farce.

I suspect enormous amounts were spent by various domestic governments, NGO’s, foundations, unions, foreign states, fronts and agents for foreign states, groups associated with the Clinton Foundation network, etc., with the vast majority designed to help Hillary and hurt Trump, and to influence American opinion on certain issues, especially immigration and “Climate Change”. This is all potentially of enormous import compared to the tiny effort FaceBook attributes to the Russians. Yet the monster might as well not exist in the eyes of our corrupt government and media.

Google is liable for negligence , aiding and abetting.

If Mueller gets on the case, it will be criminal

Briefly can you say how this was done?

So after tons of $$$ and thousands of man hours they will finally determine that Russians do exist.

Vox Day put it best.

1. SJWs always lie.

1. SJWs always project.

1. SJWs always double down.

Given that, you can develop a pretty reliable indicator of what the Democrats have been up to, by what they have been accusing Trump of.
