3. Cambridge Analytica was founded by Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer

Bannon's stake in the company was estimated at 1 to 5 million dollars, but he divested his holdings in April 2017 as required by his role as White House Chief Strategist.

14. it's a letter of comlaint filed by common cause.....

not a doj action.

The complaint has no force of law. It is just a pr statement and an attempt to prod official action.

But, it's better than nuttin.

Cambridge Analytica may have violated US campaign laws in 2014

A new report claims foreign workers from Cambridge Analytica came to America ahead of the 2014 elections.

Already embroiled in scandal, data research firm Cambridge Analytica could be in even more hot water. Reportedly the company sent foreign workers the US ahead of elections in 2014. If true the actions constitute violation of US campaign laws.

The firm recently came under fire for scraping the personal data of millions of Facebook users. That info was allegedly nabbed for the purpose of influencing voter behavior during the 2016 presidential election.

The resulting fallout has prompted a backlash against Facebook. Numerous corporations have pulled away from the social media giant. Most notably, Tesla and Space X head Elon Musk has deleted both company's Facebook presence.

Some rank and file individuals have also grown cool to Facebook's platform. The sentiment translated into a trending Twitter hashtag #DeleteFacebook.

11. Love me a good perp walk!

13. Can Mueller hire more investigators/lawyers/analysts?

I'm thinking that this unraveling of the fabric of plutocracy will take a lot of expertise!

Crowd-source the data and information - let all of us work on connecting the dots. Mechanical-Turk style.

(I do know that much of the information is available on public sites. Perhaps some way to volunteer on particular projects.

You know, if you really dislike Murdoch (just as an example) offer to dig into his/friends/family's holdings and add them to a web of influence/peddling/self-serving.

It wouldn't surprise me to start to find some more well-known politicians, T.V. personalities, bankers, etc. show up in these webs.

15. yes, he can......

but the last person he added was a cyber crime specialist, so that may have been aimed at this anyway.

17. Arrest all of those Russian stooges!

Zuckerburg, Bannon and Mercer too!

20. Thankfully! Mahalo Christopher Wiley!

He sure caused them a LOT of problems.

21. Why does the U.S. have 60 Russian diplomats?

The European nations combined don't seem to have that many.

What are they DOING?
