The first thing any competent Google lawyer would do is demand that Delrahim be completely recused from the case.

As their former attorney, he knows privileged information about Google.

Second step is to see if he gets deferred payments from his Google employment, and if so the gov't should insist he stays out of it.

Sometimes big money corporations don't mind facing a friendly ex-employee. Often (see Goldmund Sachs) helping them find a gov't job. So, friendly or not, he should recuse.

He is an attorney and lobbyist — doesn’t say he had ever been retained by and represented Google.

As Justice Kagan taught us in the Obamacare case, it is not necessary to recuse oneself, despite any obvious conflicts. She has set a precedent.

Attorney Client privilege seems to have taken a hit in the Age of Trump. The Democrats seem to not value such protection anymore. But I suppose it depends on whose ox is getting gored.
