This is getting very interesting.
Cambridge Analytica is once again in the news big time. The dirty tricks company was run by Steve Bannon and his sordid crew. It operated out of a San Antonio office it shared with the official tech operation set up by Jared Kushner for the Trump campaign. Joined at the hip with Team Trump, they were.
What did they have to do with Trump/Kremlin collusion? Well, it’s been reported that Cambridge Analytica was in contact with WikiLeaks during the campaign, and WikiLeaks was the Kremlin’s outlet for the DNC and Podesta emails they stole. So was Trump Jr, by the way. Pretty direct evidence of collusion as to use of the stolen emails.
But wait! There’s more!
We are now learning that Cambridge Analytica, hired by the Trump campaign, assembled all the “psychographic” data, most taken from Facebook, used to identify targets for political ads. It has long been suspected that the Kremlin needed help in running its fake news campaigns, since knowing where to channel the fake news requires extraordinary knowledge of voter inclinations in micro-markets.
Did Cambridge Analytica provide their research/data to the Kremlin? Dunno if that’s clear yet but, if it becomes clear, we will also have direct evidence of Team Trump/Kremlin collusion as to the Kremlin’s fake news campaigns.
This is getting VERY interesting. I’m sure Mueller is all over this, as Trump sweats bullets and tweets like a lunatic.
An innocent man, I tell ya!
