On Meet the Press this morning, Corey Lewandowski briefly addressed Cambridge Analytica and its role in the Trump campaign.

The Trump-linked data firm has come under serious scrutiny in the past week for obtaining user data and for an undercover exposé revealing some stunning comments from company executives.

Chuck Todd told Lewandowski, “I know it wasn’t until very late that you finally approved that contract, I believe.” Lewandowski jumped in to claim this timeline of events:

“I never approved Cambridge Analytica’s contract. They did not work for the campaign when I was the manager, so we have to be clear about that. They pitched me three times, three times I said no. They did not come to the campaign until after I left.”

1. Liar.

2. Wiggle room

He didn't say if there was a 4th time, or whether he approved it and then left before the contract started.

8. Maybe

But you conspired with something or somebody. Anyway, when you physically attack a woman you are little more than a coward.

9. Uh-huh

With crooks start proffering up alibis, it's pretty obvious what's going on here.

10. I'm asking for a friend.

If my friend goes on television, is he required to tell the truth?

Thanks!

11. It was the Mercers who made Cambridge Analytica happen

When the Mercers signed on with Trump in the summer of 2016 (when he became the GOP nominee) they promised him oodles of money. But they also made him take Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway to work on his campaign. Along with Bannon & Conway came the contract with Cambridge Analytica, they were all rolled up together.

By this time Corey Lewandowski had already been fired and Manafort was about to end his short stint. Long story short, I think we can believe Lewandowski on this, he personally had nothing to do with CA while he was managing the campaign.
