UK Channel 4: "Have you met Mr. Trump?" Alexander Nix, Cambridge Analytica: "Many times."

And then Nix launched into a description of all the things he'd done for the campaign.

Sounds like conspiracy to me . . . with DT at the heart of it.


https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/20/politics/alexander-nix-cambridge-analytica/index.html

Cambridge Analytica, the embattled data analytics company best known for its work on President Donald Trump's campaign, has suspended its CEO, Alexander Nix, in the wake of undercover reports showing him discussing potential bribery and entrapment.

Nix's suspension is immediate, "pending a full, independent investigation," the firm said in a statement.

The statement was released moments before Channel 4 News in the UK was due to air another report in a series of exposes about the work of the company.

The report on Tuesday featured undercover footage of Nix claiming he met Trump "many times" and that the company was responsible for a wide swath of the Trump campaign's activity.

Trump wasn't joking. He was gloating, hiding his secret in plain sight.

who used Facebook data for his program that eventually targeted voters in the US.
Is this the same "professor" that George Papadopoulos said "they" had info on Hillary?
And did Cambridge Analytical mess with the Brexit vote??
Putin would just LOVE to mess with the EU and Britian.. Just look at what he's doing killing people on British soil..

St Petersburg (at the same time) and took grant money from Russia to study “anxiety” in social media users- in other words “triggering” them.
CA claims he just gave them a copy of the data set. Gave it away, such a nice guy!

“ran all the digital campaign, the television campaign and our data informed all the strategy”




Executives claimed they “ran all the digital campaign, the television campaign and our data informed all the strategy” for President Trump.

In the third part of a Channel 4 News investigation into Cambridge Analytica, bosses also talked about:

The full scale of their pivotal work in Trump’s election win
How they avoid Congressional investigations into their foreign clients
Setting up proxy organisations to feed untraceable messages onto social media
Using a secret email system where messages self-destruct and leave no trace
Cambridge Analytica’s involvement in the “Defeat Crooked Hilary” brand of attack ads
