The attorney general is said to have set a deadline over the objections of career lawyers who say they need more time to build the case.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department plans to bring an antitrust case against Google as soon as this month, after Attorney General William P. Barr overruled career lawyers who said they needed more time to build a strong case against one of the world’s wealthiest, most formidable technology companies, according to five people briefed on internal department conversations.
Justice Department officials told lawyers involved in the antitrust inquiry into Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, to wrap up their work by the end of September, according to three of the people. Most of the 40-odd lawyers who had been working on the investigation opposed the deadline. Some said they would not sign the complaint, and several of them left the case this summer.
Some argued this summer in a memo that ran hundreds of pages that they could bring a strong case but needed more time, according to people who described the document. Disagreement persisted among the team over how broad the complaint should be and what Google could do to resolve the problems the government uncovered. The lawyers viewed the deadline as arbitrary.

Why do FOOLS follow the lie and edicts or politics? It's all one big DOG & PONY SHOW!!!
Either the Justice Department rids the Internet of these pathetic, selfish, totally corrupt un-American individuals or the pro-America people need to come up with a way to really stop these control freaks!
This is wonderful but a little late!
Unless it can get an injunction to stop google from interfering in the election this year - immediately and until the next inauguration!
otherwise, it won't help in getting President Trump re-elected in November!
They should have brought an anti-trust suit against them at least 6 to 8 months ago or more!
but thankfully, we still have our God, and we still have prayer. We must remember that all of our power is in prayer and we need to exercise our power over this situation with gods help and grace!
Absolutely Correct
This will never happen. The lawyers want to drag it all out until after the election and the damage has been done. Then big mike obama will just let it all fade away after she plants her rearend in the Oval Office.
All the crimes they have committed for decades will just go away, all the evidence is being destroyed or hidden away for later blackmail purposes.
No way
WAY!!!
Way to go Bill Barr. I have always said he is the best lawyer on Trump's team and he is also the most loyal. That's exactly the kind of lawyer Trump needs to take care of business.
You are a brain dead fool !!! Barr is the piece of HUMAN EXCREMENT that got all the MURDERING FBI AGENTS off scott free that MURDERED Vickey Weaver and the infant she held in her arms as well as her 10 year old son !!! RUBY RIDGE!!! FOOL!!!
William, take a look at Barr's recent move. He is using the AG's office to defend Trump against a money hungry woman who claims Trump raped her. This shows once again that Barr is the best lawyer on Trump's legal team. Sure, some of the AG's other and more traditional work suffers a little but there is only so much one man can do, and Barr's top priority is to take care of Trump as he should.
