Lina Khan's success record is/was horrendous.

In the most recent case, Google may have "lost" but the government got nowhere near what it was asking for either.

Do you think it's fair to put the recent case on Lisa Khan when a) the Google antitrust lawsuit was started in Trump v1.0 and b) the trial remedy was during Trump 2.0? If anything, that Google was found to have antitrust behavior bolsters her success rate. She's not in charge there anymore, so blaming her is very very suspect.
