It's not necessarily google itself, but Eric Schmidt has a company called The Groundwork that has been working for her campaign.

Does Schmidt have a day-to-day role at Google anymore? I was under the impression that he is essentially retired from Google's operations and serves only as a board member.

Anyway, it raises the question of whether a board member / former exec can do things on his own time and dime without it reflecting on Google. Does everything that Schmidt does imply that Google is doing it too?
