Eric Schmidt, the chief executive of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is working directly with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to a memo contained within an email released by WikiLeaks.
“Discreet conservations” of forming “working relationships” with
companies such as Facebook and Apple were also facilitated as early as October 2014, the memo stated. This is at least six months prior to when Clinton announced her candidacy for president.
The document was attached to an Oct. 26, 2014 email sent from Robby Mook, now Clinton’s campaign manager, to Cheryl Mills, a longtime Clinton aide; David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s previous campaign manager; and John Podesta, Clinton’s current campaign chairman whose email account was compromised.

which is paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Michael Slaby, the former chief integration and innovation officer for the Obama campaign, developed The Groundwork through a company he co-founded called Timshel. Slaby has been tight-lipped about details of its partnership with the Clinton campaign.
The group has been paid nearly $600,000 from Hillary for America since its inception.
Google has also been accused of manipulating search results to favor Hillary Clinton earlier this year.http://freebeacon.com/politics/memo-googles-eric-schmidt-working-directly-clinton-campaign/
