FTA:

"DOJ attorneys could ask Judge Amit Mehta to order Google to sell portions of its business"

That's the author of the article speculating, they don't know what it would actually look like any more than you or I do.

Bonus, as I noted, it doesn't address the primary issue of a search monopoly. Even if they sell off those business unit, the search monopoly remains.

There was more discussion of potential remedies in the article than that.
