Facebook along with others provided cover for the Russians and gawd who else plus GOPs in stealing the elections.

2. Facebook and Cambridge Analytica worked side by side at a Trump campaign office in San Antonio

In fact, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica worked side-by-side for the 2016 Donald Trump campaign at its digital operation in San Antonio, Texas—a year after the tech giant discovered that Cambridge Analytica had access to the Facebook users’ data in violation of the company’s policies. In a 2017 BBC report, Therese Wong, a “digital guru” for the Trump campaign walks journalist Jamie Bartlett through the San Antonio office, showing him the room out of which Cambridge Analytica operated—”the brain” of the operation, she says. Nearby were desks where Facebook employees sat embedded with the Trump campaign.

Wong said in the video that people from Google, YouTube, and Facebook were the campaign’s “hands-on partners” in helping utilize their platforms. “When you’re pumping in millions and millions of dollars to these platforms, you’re going to get white club [sic] treatment,” she said. “Without Facebook, we wouldn’t have won. I mean Facebook really and truly put us over the edge.”

I wonder if SC Mueller's team sent a team down to ask what Pence discussed.

9. That's the strangest coincidence. Huh?

I wonder if there's a pending Russian collusion problem for Mike Pence in the brewing.

Remember, Nancy Pelosi will be third in line in succession in January, behind the president and vice president.

11. The size of this "Russia Thing" is so big it is hard to get my mind around it.

It might be that Putin picked both the President and Vice President of the U.S..

BTW right after the election it was Pence hitting the panic button about people
using Russia to delegitimize the outcome.

10. WikiLeaks is losing it on Twitter.

The meeting happened and Ecuador knew about it, and of course the CIA, MI6, whole nine yards, as, you know, all embassies are tapped. Nothing Assange has done for the past half a decade has gone without it being recorded.

Apparently the editors of the article recently visited Ecuador 10 days ago and they seem to think that's reason for people to doubt the story (as if Ecuador is making it up). No, you go on a trip like that to confirm claims made in person. If Ecuador has pictures, it's something else.

Also, some people on Reddit pointed out Muller noted how Manafort dressed in his report. A clue and nod to this visit.
