So, your second statement isn't what I originally stated at all. This isn't how an "audit" works at all, an "audit" and an accusation are two different things entirely. Your bias has apparently led you into reading things that aren't there. A common fallacy so don't feel bad. "The government needs information" I'm not sure it really does to this extent, but assuming you are right, how much legal responsibility does Google have to provide it? And this is exactly what we are going to find out from the courts. Back to the original point, the attorneys for Google have no duty, and in fact, every duty, to minimize the amount of information provided.
