A subpoena would do the trick. Their employees aren’t going to jail for obstruction to protect Google.

You need some reasonable grounds to put before a judge before they'll grant a subpoena. A subpoena can confirm what they suspect, it can't be used to blindly fish for evidence.

However it could be that what was in the deposition gives them the grounds. Should be an interesting trial.
