Last night, Tucker Carlson broke an explosive story featuring internal Google documents indicating that the company made a "silent donation" – its own term – to the Hillary Clinton campaign by using its information channeling might to mobilize voters it thought would cast ballots for the Democrats' candidate. The move was unsuccessful, but it illustrates the enormous power to shape elections by bringing some information to the voting public while suppressing other information.
As Carlson points out, if Russian purchases of a hundred thousand bucks' worth of Facebook ads is supposed to be worrisome, the power of Google, which is the information funnel for about 90% of the public, is catastrophe once the giant decides to use its power to control elections.
Both Carlson's initial presentation of the information and his later discussion of its implications with Mark Steyn are embedded below. Breitbart received the texts of the emails in question and features them for your review.
In essence, Eliana Murillo, Google's Multicultural Marketing department head, wrote a series of emails to Google executives, at first carefully maintaining the guise of political neutrality while discussing her (and Google's) efforts to heighten Latino turnout.
But following the shock of Trump's victory, Murillo let the mask slip and revealed the partisan intent, using the words "silent donation" to describe her efforts. This ought to trigger a Federal Election Commission investigation and ought to be grist for legislators contemplating antitrust measures against this near monopoly in information.
Tucker Carlson did not reveal how these emails came into his hands, but I have a strong suspicion that they are the result of the discovery process in the lawsuit filed by James Damore, the software engineer who was fired by Google after writing a polite internal email questioning some aspects of the diversity initiatives there.

I’m sure the Federal Elections Commission will get right on that......................in about 15 years.................
Freeper advice needed:
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HURT google THE MOST?
More like NEVER.
A formal complaint should be made to the FEC regarding in-kind contributions.
I looked for the actual email and could not find a link.

Google executive admits actions of steering Clinton during 2016 were meant to provide her value.

It’s obvious from their rigged search results where they stand politically. You often have to weed through 7 or 8 pages of results before you find a non-leftist source.
During the election we had video of PAC operative bragging about collusion with the DNC and Clinton campaign .. and aboutbussing in vote fraud ... and it bounded off the ignoramium hat armors many Leftist’s noggins.
And nothing has been done about it legally either.
Don’t you think this would be the same?
Campaign finance laws only apply to those on the wrong side of the fence.
Regulate them as a public utility.
I'm betting they will create "false" pages....in the same fashion that they said the Russians interfered.
There is no real check on what they do.
I hope that this is currently being investigated and is why Google didn’t show last week for hearings, because they are under investigation and didn’t want to provide further evidence of collusion with Hillary.
Now that’s how reporting is done got it MSM.
Anti-trust regulation then burn down their offices.
They crossed the line and have invited regulation, bad move on their part.
Just vote MAGA in November and watch DJT go after these abuses.
RE: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HURT google THE MOST?
Start by not using their search engine.
Then avoid using the Android phone ( but then you are left with iPhone ).
Use other GPS products instead of Google’s.
Exactly.
100,000,000 dead people in the last century from the heavy hand of government was not nearly enough.
....or pretty close to it....................It only took them 12 years to fine the the Jesse Jackson campaign for taking illegal contributions...................
