    "Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch," Trump wrote.

    Epstein himself says Trump was wrong about his findings. Epstein did find "bias" in Google search results, but he says there is no evidence Google "manipulated" the results to favor Clinton. Also, critics of the study note that there is no definitive link between search results and voting behavior in presidential elections.

    What an idiot... A legitimately damaged human being....

    Even if this research is valid (and that's debatable), much like you cannot prove if Russian interference affected actual votes, you cannot prove Google search results affected a single vote.

    Google is UNABLE to MANIPULATE votes, you imbecile.....

    Hard to top "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea" from 2018 as "Lie of the Year", but this has to be in the running for 2019.

    What say ye? In the running for 2019 "Lie of the Year"?

    And yet look how much time, money, and resources Democrats wasted trying to prove exactly that ---- the infamous Russian collusion delusion. "Trump only won because of Russia", remember? Or at least that's what you folks were telling us for two years....

    Nobody wasted a single penny trying to prove that the Russians affected votes... they were trying to prove that Trump requested and accepted the help, and Voila, he did....

    I don't know...bias, which the study found Google clearly has, is easily turned into manipulation.

    I just don't understand why the left is giving the uber rich Google company a pass on using it's monopoly power and bias on voters.

    Google should be investigated.

    I guess you didn't read the Mueller Report...still can't accept it, and continue to be, as a Federal Judge stated, divorced from the facts

    Well, because Mueller and his team conducted a long investigation and found that the President and his campaign actually didn't do the things Egoboy claims. It's in his report. Ego, like most dems, actually thought it happened, believed it happened, and thought Mueller was gonna save them from the fact the American people rejected them in 2016. It didn't happen, and he can't accept the results.

    Now he, and many on the left are giving Google a pass, for doing the same thing the Russian did, and in doing so, openly colluding with the uber rich, monopoly to undermine elections. It's quite sad and tragic

    What "help" did he request and receive and don't claim the cynical joke the Russians should help the FBI recover the official emails Clinton tried to destroy on her server.

    The Dems didn't spend a fraction of the time and money the GOP did hoping and praying they would find something, anything they can lock Hillary or Obama up for Benghazi.

    Do you have a link to a copy of the report from the Special Prosecutor investigation of the Benghazi debacle?

    If Google switched to being pro-Trump, the left would turn on them faster than you could say "orange man baaaad".

    GOOGLE = EVIL

    "• Introduction: Google Can Influence Public Opinion
    We know from prior research that Google can influence public opinion on at least some important social and political issues, simply by affecting what is returned by search queries, the order in which results are presented, and the text that accompanies each result that is returned. And now it appears that they actually are attempting to manipulate public opinion in the midst of a national presidential election."
    HUFFINGTON POST, Can Google Influence an Election?, By Eric K. Clemons and Josh Wilson, 10/9/12.

    What utter nonsense no was was claiming a crime or trying to "lock someone up" for Benghazi. Are you saying the events leading up to Benghazi and the aftermath were not matters of congressional oversight of the State Department and CIA?

    Correct, they make the criminal referral. Here they did not.

    Proof positive that Trump has no intention of stepping down when he loses in 2020. He'll claim a rigged election and call out the tanks

    Nobody was hoping to lock the President or Clinton up. They simply wanted to find out the truth behind the murder of 4 Americans and how to prevent it in the future...unfortuately the President and his admin decided to lie and cover up what happened. During that oversight, we discovered an illegal server, and mishandling of classified material. It wasn't about locking those two up...it was about fixing the flaws in the system. What we discovered however, was they were in fact the flaws.

    Which most emphatically does NOT mean that Trump did not do anything he could (and still will after 2020 nearly certainly) be prosecuted for

    There’s still a question of why did Ovomit’s team try to cover it up. JW is getting to the bottom of it.
