Cambridge Analytica executives created a company in 2017 with the Executive Director & Deputy Chairman of Erik Prince’s Frontier Services Group

This has been a big weekend for news on the data firm that claimed to help get Donald Trump elected — Cambridge Analytica and the U.K. parent company SCL Group Limited. And now there’s one more twist, connecting SCL and Cambridge Analytica to someone else grabbing recent headlines, Erik Prince.

Filings on U.K. Companies House show that the two top executives at Cambridge Analytica are Directors of a company along with one of Erik Princes’ closest business partners.

2. It is like an old cardboard microwave oven shipping box...

6. The link is not broken.

Your browser can open a page with the whole URL but DU and probably other websites are not able to render it because Medium decided to be cute with Hyper Text by shoving an @ character in front of the author's name.

They really screw things up doing this.

10. Yeah, it stops just short right before the @ character

I don't know what the kids are doing with the HTML these days. Maybe it allows for easier sharing between mobile apps or some such.

4. The shit is raining on trump

Must suck to be him. For us on DU, here comes the sun, seems like years since it's been here. I am still very nervous about what trump will do. There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded pile of excrement.

7. What a tangled web.....

I wonder who else is involved and how much Mueller knows about this already. If the Prince, the Mercers, Bannon and Giuliani are connected to Cam. Anal. you know it is BAD! I think Assange is in the mix too.

12. First thing I thought of was privatized concentration camps. Round em up, bring em in, Rawhide.

They'll provide all those messy citizen roundups from ID'ing the anti Trump riffraff to herding them into the camps and keeping them from escaping. I suppose the next thing we'll learn is that Mercer and Prince have been buying up private prison companies.
