theodp writes "As FTC Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras comes under fire for refusing to recuse herself from the agency's review of Google's $3.1B DoubleClick acquisition despite her current and past ties to DoubleClick law firm Jones Day, DoubleClick-related pages and references have been disappearing from Jones Day's website. Although the statement issued by the Chairwoman suggests Jones Day's DoubleClick representation is limited to the European Commission, the Google cache of one MIA document boasts: 'Jones Day is advising DoubleClick Inc., the digital marketing technology provider, on the international and U.S. antitrust and competition law aspects of its planned $3.1 billion acquisition by Google Inc.' Also refusing to recuse himself from the DoubleClick acquisition review is FTC Commissioner William E. Kovacic, whose wife is a partner at Jones Day."
