    Sorry...I wasn't aware that Trump had announced his candidacy in 2014. Thanks for clarifying for me.

    The company’s responsibilities under US law were laid out in a lawyer’s memo to the company’s vice-president, Steve Bannon, British CEO Alexander Nix and Rebekah Mercer, daughter of billionaire owner Robert Mercer, in July 2014. It made it clear that most senior and mid-level positions involving strategy, planning, fundraising or campaigning needed to be filled by US citizens.

    And there are reports they ignored those laws.

    You think the memos describe past actions?

    "Two employees confirmed that they were still answering ultimately to Nix throughout the mid-term election campaigns that ended in November 2014."

    "Cambridge Analytica said that the company “adheres to FEC [Federal Election Commission] regulations” and that Nix had never been in charge of work on any US election campaigns."

    The whistleblower only knows about 2014 stuff...wouldn't be surprised that they changed their structure over the next 3 years.

    I'm going to conclude you didn't watch the Channel 4 stories either where Nix brags about his active role in the Trump campaign.

    not one Trumpista has watched them

    I've seen them...I also saw the end of the videos where the narrator basically says "much of this is salesmanship and they probably didn't do all the things stated." Did you conveniently forget that part?

    Oh, the head of the company that intentionally broke the law regarding foreign nationals working directly for elections stopped working directly on US elections and is just lying about working directly on US elections so he can work directly on other foreign elections?

    1) Laws are subjective and lawyers will always take the most conservative positions on anything written.

    2) CEOs rarely work "directly" on anything.

    Lol...I never said they were honest. Read my first posts...I don't like how they gathered data and I'm also pretty sure they may have bribed some small local players.

    My question was, and still is, which US laws did they break? I HOPE they broke some laws so an example is set, but a memo from 2014, handed over from people that only worked on the 2014 Colorado campaigns isn't enough proof for me.

    Yes, but I can hope that CA did break some laws especially around data collection.

    And then we go how to how effective this really was in a close election.

    Those of you that live in Texas have friends that are Trumpsters. They are not all crazy. They hated Clinton. And I get that.
    Its the not seeing what we got now that is disturbing. I stop them from saying but Hillary... Clinton is not the president. Again, IMO it was gonna be close without all this mess. So this might actual work as a hard lesson that an entertainer businessman with a populist message should not even sniff a primary win. Maybe.... I hope.... Businesses are not democracies. Democracy is inefficient but supposed to be transparent. And in being transparent, vulnerable to being criticized. The hard part is getting things done. Hopefully congress fully digests what is happening now.

    "congress fully digests what is happening now."

    Repugs/oligarchy getting EVERYTHING they want,

    are deliriously happy with "happening now", and

    they continue on every front to establish the oligarchy as the overwhelming, unstoppable, irreversible power in America.

    Effectively, a "one party" oligarchy after the coup d'etat over that past 45 years.
