Maybe the DOJ's decision to investigate Google's search has nothing at all to do with the president's promise to "address" Google's search based on conspiracy theories from one of his favorite shows. But it's sure hard to ignore that reality.
Add to it that Attorney General Barr has shown himself to be extremely willing to do whatever the president wants as far as targeting his enemies... and the picture gets uglier.
