One of the Data Scientists Involved in the Cambridge Analytica Mess Now Works at Facebook
Joseph Chancellor worked with Aleksandr Kogan, a Russian-American psychology professor at the University of Cambridge, to launch the company in May 2014.
Global Science Research was paid more than $800,000 to build an app in June 2014 for Cambridge Analytica that was used to harvest Facebook user data
Facebook said about 270,000 users downloaded the app, though the New York Times reported that Kogan and Chancellor’s company provided about 50 million user profiles to Cambridge Analytica,
Cambridge Analytica was hired to work for the Trump campaign in June 2016, about six months after the Guardian revealed the company was using tens of millions Facebook users’ data in its work
https://slate.com/technology/2018/03...-facebook.html
Cambridge Analytica, the shady data firm that might be a key Trump-Russia link, explained
Why House investigators think this company might have gamed Facebook and helped Russia spread fake news
Robert Mueller has requested that a data analytics company called Cambridge Analytica turn over internal do ents as part of its investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.
this story is specifically about how team Trump, with the help of this data company, might have facilitated Russia’s meddling in the US presidential election.
Jared Kushner, who was charged with overseeing Trump’s digital operations, is the reason Cambridge Analytica joined the Trump campaign.
Kushner hired a man named Brad Parscale, a Texas-based digital expert who had worked previously for team Trump.
Trump’s campaign manager, Steve Bannon, who is also a former vice president of Cambridge Analytica.
Trump’s digital operation was shockingly effective.
a disproportionate amount of pro-Trump messaging was spread via automated bots and anti-Hillary propaganda. Trump’s bots, they reported at the time of the election, outnumbered Clinton’s five to one.
Pro-Trump programmers “carefully adjusted the timing of content production during the debates, strategically colonized pro-Clinton hashtags, and then disabled activities after Election Day.”
Trump’s campaign “was using 40-50,000 variants of ads every day that were continuously measuring responses and then adapting and evolving based on that response.”
The ads that got liked, shared, and retweeted the most were reproduced and redistributed based on where they were popular and who they appealed to.
When you consider how a few thousands votes in a handful of swing states determined the election, this is no small thing.
Peter Smith, a pro-Trump GOP operative who sought to acquire the 30,000 deleted emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server. Of the several hacker groups Smith reached out to, at least two had connections to Russia — that’s according to Smith.
Smith told Harris that he was in regular contact with Gen. Michael Flynn, who at the time was one of Trump’s closest confidants — and of course later became Trump’s national security adviser.
Flynn was forced to disclose “a brief advisory role with a firm related to a controversial data analysis company that aided the Trump campaign.”
The “data analysis company” is none other than Cambridge Analytica
DOJ investigators believe that Trump’s campaign might have helped guide Russia’s voter targeting scheme and that Flynn, who worked for Trump’s campaign and with Cambridge Analytica, is suspected of having extensive ties with Russian operatives.
Cambridge Analytica, a company created by Robert Mercer, a billionaire patron of right-wing outlets like Breitbart News, has been swallowing up all the data they can get. They’re not the only company doing this, but they appear to be the most prominent — in part because of their high-profile clients.
so far the firm has only taken on Republican clients, with Ted Cruz and Ben Carson being the most visible.
They also worked on behalf of 2016 pro-Brexit “Leave” campaign, mining online data and using it to target and persuade British voters.
they harvest into personality profiles for every American adult — Nix claims to have “somewhere close to 4 or 5 thousand data points on every adult in the US.”
They collect data from Facebook and Twitter (which is perfectly legal) and have purchased an array of other data — about television preferences, airline travel, shopping habits, church attendance, what books you buy, what magazines you subscribe to — from third-party organizations and so-called data brokers.
“behavioral microtargeting” — basically individualized advertising.

So oligarch billionaire s bag extremist wingnut Mercer financed Cambridge Analytica run by a Russian with contacts in .... Russia!
So many dots, so many connections.
Steve Schmidt Drags 'S bag' Michael Cohen And It Is Glorious
SCHMIDT:
You know, I was thinking about Jennifer just referring to them as the cast from Good Fellas.
I agree with the sentiment. but it's more like Dumb Fellas
It's a group of s bags like Michael Cohen sitting around in cahoots with each other,
subjects of investigations and litigation themselves,
in a caldron of chaos in the west wing of the white house.
I think it's remarkable as we look at the news this week, we've seen leadership from teenagers in America.
We see the adults looking at teenagers for their courage and teenagers watching the news and maybe younger,
watching stories about a President of the United States,
this chaos,
the lack of any decency around the White House,
payoffs to porn stars, everything that is up is down.
What's down is up in this corrupted world of the Trump presidency. and
it's just this remarkable moment where we have growing threats in the world,
where there is this sense that the momentum of his recklessness is drawing us closer to real consequence,
economic consequence that will crush the dreams and aspirations of America's working families as
he blunders his way into a trade war, wholly ignorant how the North American supply chain works or global trade functions.
Perhaps blundering his way towards a military conflict on the Korean peninsula.
It seems, though, that
the closer these investigations move to him and to the people around him, the more reckless he's becoming.

Andrew McCabe was just offered a job by a congressman so he can get his full retirement. And it just might work.
At least one Democratic congressman has offered McCabe a temporary job so he can get full retirement benefits — and McCabe appears to be considering.
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) announced Saturday afternoon that he has offered McCabe a job to work on election security in his office, “so that he can reach the needed length of service” to retire.
“My offer of employment to Mr. McCabe is a legitimate offer to work on election security,” Pocan said in a statement.

Some chris Logic. Mueller who has been a lifelong republican (Hence the unanimous consensus that he was the right guy to head the ivestigation from all republicans at the beginning) isn't true because his god Trump said so.
But an unproven tweet that claims FBI agents were physically threatened Trump is true just because it says so. No proof needed. It's true.
Djohn is right. Trump supporters cant even wipe their own asses without being told how to do it and when.

Trump rails against Mueller investigation, dismisses McCabe’s notes as ‘Fake Memos’
For the second straight day, Trump was unrestrained in his commentary about Robert S. Mueller III’s expanding investigation, which is looking not only into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential race and possible links to the Trump campaign, but also whether the president has sought to obstruct justice.
both Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Sunday urged the president and his legal team to cooperate fully with the investigation and warned of serious ramifications if they did not.
Trump has in the past been careful not to publicly criticize Mueller by name or otherwise directly antagonize the special counsel,
Trump for the first time tweeted the name of the special counsel.
any interference in the Mueller probe would result in “a very, very long, bad 2018.”
Gowdy said, “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible.”
“We will not be responding to each childish, defamatory, disgusting & false tweet by the President. The whole truth will come out in due course. But the tweets confirm that he has corrupted the entire process that led to Mr. McCabe’s termination and has rendered it illegitimate.”
“If he tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency because
we’re a rule-of-law nation,”
Graham said

That Trash firing McCabe is about McCabe's misleading statements is as "true"
as white male supremacists saying deporting illegal immigrants is about the rule of law
Firing McCabe because he was deeply involved with Comey and Mueller's investigation of Trash + Russians is nothing but Trash obstructing Mueller.
Kushner’s Company Filed False Tenant Paperwork That Boosted Property Profits
Do ents claimed no tenants had rent protections, when hundreds did, according to AP.
Jared Kushner repeatedly filed false reports with New York City concerning rent-regulated tenants in an effort to push them out of the buildings and boost profits,
Hundreds of Kushner Cos. tenants were protected by city law from being hit with major rent hikes or forced out by a new owner. However, the company “routinely” filed false paperwork saying buildings had no-rent regulated tenants,
at least 80 fraudulent applications were filed for construction permits in 34 buildings from 2013 to 2016. They all stated the buildings had no rent-regulated tenants, when in fact they included 300 rent-regulated units,
Kushner Cos. filed false statements about tenants in three buildings with 94 rent-regulated units that it purchased in Queens in 2015, reports AP. After
the company displaced most of the residents, it sold the buildings two years later for $60 million, nearly 50 percent more than their purchase price,
“Kushner Cos. would never deny any tenant their due-process rights,”
several amended do ents were filed after the initial paperwork but often as long as one or two years later, by which time many tenants were gone.
tenants reported they were urged to get out or forced to live amid the disruption of ongoing construction work as the Kushners prepared to boost rents or sell a building.
New York City Council member Ritchie Torres called the Kushner strategy a “weaponization of construction.”

Trash and his family, his mafiya are totally corrupt.
Trump's lawyers give in to the inevitable, begin prepping for an interview with Robert Mueller
If Mueller subpoenas Trump, he must appear. And Trump’s attorneys appear to finally be getting that message as they try to prepare Trump for that day.
The preparations reflect an understanding that negotiations with the lead Russia investigator, which have been ongoing since January, will eventually culminate in a sit-down meeting between Mueller and the president.
One source said the discussions about the terms of a possible interview may soon even reach a conclusion.
But since the idea that the truth would set Trump free is vanishingly small, there is still the possibility that Trump could dodge the interview.
strong possibility that Jefferson Sessions’ time using the attorney general slot to take apart civil rights might soon fall to someone else,
with speculation focusing on EPA administrator (and cone of silence fan) Scott Pruitt.
If Pruitt was put in charge of the Justice Department, that could be the first step in getting rid of Mueller.
Pruitt could just … make it all go away.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...Robert-Mueller
Pruitt is such a piece of oligarchy/BigCarbon that he'd have no reticence in firing Mueller to protect piece of Trash.
The UK could seriously punish Russia for the spy attack. Here’s why it probably won’t.
London benefits too much from corrupt Russian money in the UK to crack down on it
experts are doubtful that May is serious about following through on
the one retaliatory action she’s mentioned that actually could do incredible damage in Moscow —
freezing the assets of corrupt, wealthy Russian businessmen, which could hurt Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
“There is no evidence beyond the rhetoric that the [UK] government has ever been serious about tackling dirty money — quite the contrary, in fact,”
Rich Russians love sending their money to London. Many have invested in real estate there or have their money managed by the British banking system. “I’d say the bulk of Russian wealth goes through London in one way or another,”
A lot of that money has been gained through corruption and is laundered through real estate investments.
London is among the top three destinations in the world for Russian money laundering through real estate,
Russian investors also funnel illicit money through s corporations registered in the UK.
Those corporations allow their owners to remain at least somewhat anonymous and are used to hide money that would otherwise appear su ious.
the law that May would use to crack down on assets gained from corruption has “been in effect since last year and has been little used.”
And the British government has little to show for earlier campaigns promising to shine a light on shady s corporations.
Experts say they expect the disconnect between rhetoric and action to continue into the future, because the UK has a lot to lose by getting serious about it.

So the Russian mafiya has compromised UK as it has compromised USA![]()
Donald Trump’s corrupt firing of Andrew McCabe
McCabe’s firing shows how Trump’s behavior corrodes faith in government.
“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history.”
There are real questions about McCabe’s performance at the FBI.
But there are even deeper questions about Trump’s public vendetta against McCabe, and
the role Sessions played in his termination.
Trump wanted McCabe gone because of McCabe’s involvement in the Justice Department investigation of Russian meddling in the campaign.
Trump thinks McCabe is a Comey-aligned Democrat who was biased against him.
Trump believes his political appointees should protect him.
Trump has been explicit in public about all of this.
And he has spent months publicly slandering McCabe and pressuring Sessions to fire him.
Sessions is firing McCabe for activities undeniably related to the Clinton investigation, and
after public pressure from Trump,
who is explicitly angry at McCabe for activities relating to the Russia investigation, which Sessions is also recused from.
Trump has carried out this vendetta with McCabe for months, and done so in public, in harshly personal terms:
It is difficult to believe that the full weight of the presidency was focused on firing McCabe for improperly authorizing FBI officials to speak to the Wall Street Journal or even hiding it later.
Indeed, few believe that.
The force of the White House was brought down on McCabe because of McCabe’s role overseeing the Russia probe, and
because of McCabe’s ties to James Comey, who Trump loathes.
Indeed, Trump hasn’t even sought to hide that fact
Https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...r-fbi-director
Trump’s lawyer reveals that McCabe was fired to discredit Mueller
John Dowd gives up the game.
“I pray![]()
that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageousexample of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions
and
bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon
a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,”
Dowd said.
By linking Mueller’s investigation with McCabe,
Dowd confirmed a key claim in McCabe’s response to his termination — that
Sessions’ move against him is really all about discrediting the Mueller investigation.

The Cambridge Analytica Scandal Is What Facebook-Powered Election Cheating Looks Like
The Trump campaign’s data firm got its hands on 50 million Facebook users’ information—and
then reportedly lied about deleting it.
https://slate.com/technology/2018/03...ooks-like.html
I have no doubt the Cambridge Analytica data, CA run by a Russian financed by Mercer, and Trash's digital campaign data, managed by Kushner, in one form or another, was given to Pootin's cyber army
The Cambridge Analytica Files
‘I made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: meet the data war whistleblower
28-year-old Christopher Wylie goes on the record to discuss
his role in hijacking the profiles of millions of Facebook users in order to target the US electorate
At 24, he came up with an idea that led to the foundation of a company called Cambridge Analytica,
a data analytics firm that went on to claim a major role in the Leave campaign for Britain’s EU membership referendum, and
later became a key figure in digital operations during Donald Trump’s election campaign.
he was the gay Canadian vegan who somehow ended up creating “Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare mind tool”.

so-called Pres Trash is illegit
Michael Caputo, a former adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign
“Well, I think anybody sitting down in front of a special prosecutor stands a chance of a process crime,
like unintentionally lying,”
he said.
“Unintentionally lying?” an incredulous Cuomo asked. “You must intend to lie, by definition!”
Caputo then said that even completely innocent people often lawyer up before talking with investigators because such interrogations are “fraught with peril.”
“It’s only fraught with peril if you can’t go in and tell the truth,” Cuomo pointed out.
“It doesn’t give a lot of weight to the suggestion that the president can tell the truth, I got to be honest” Cuomo pointed out.
Caputo tried to insist that the president would try to be truthful,
but he said that Trump could still slip up during tough questioning.
“I know that’s what you think, I don’t believe that,” Caputo said.
“It would be a mistake for any president.”
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/trump-apologist-flops-cnns-cuomo-crushes-excuses-trump-may-lie-mueller/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaig n=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story%29
so Caputo thinks Trash can't be removed from office if Trash "unintentionally, accidentally, slip-up-ly lies" under oath to grand jury. Trash hires The Best People.
