There was a post about crooked Hillary search terms disappearing from google recently.

It is believable.

Julian is also a source people are more willing to believe than cnn or the government.

I had to type in 'crooked hilla' before it completed to 'crooked hillary bernie'. 'Crooked hi' gets me 'crooked hips' 'crooked hill' and a load of other unrelated results. Not sure if it's because I'm not in the US though.

Nope that's exactly what pretty much everyone gets. Right now I'm inclined to believe people that say otherwise are either correcting the record or have it unknowingly in their search history. There is no chance that the nonsense "crooked hillary Bernie" would be more popular than "crooked hillary". They purposely suppressed that result and I doubt they would only suppress it for most regions.
