Special counsel Robert Mueller “is scrutinizing the connections between President Trump’s campaign and the data mining firm Cambridge Analytica,” the AP reports. “Mueller’s investigators have asked former campaign officials about the Trump campaign’s data operations, particularly about how it collected and utilized voter data in battleground states.” “The investigators have also asked some of Trump’s data team, which included analysts at the Republican National Committee, about its relationship with Cambridge Analytica.”
You think there is link where the RNC or Trump told CA get us that data by hook or by crook? What CA did, CA did. That is between them and FB not the RNC or Trump. They were buyers of data, end of story.
So this clown has been investigating for over a year and they never uncovered this until it came out in the news. I see this guy just keeps doing a bang up job.
You forgot that they weren't buyers, a Russian gave them the data that they claimed they deleted but didn't, spread fake news, bragged about prostitutes and extortion among other things. May want to see the CEO clip.
AggregateIQ Created Cambridge Analytica's Election Software, and Here’s the Proof https://gizmodo.com/aggregateiq-created-cambridge-analyticas-election-softw-1824026565 A little-known Canadian data firm ensnared by an international investigation into alleged wrongdoing during the Brexit campaign created an election software platform marketed by Cambridge Analytica, according to a batch of internal files obtained exclusively by Gizmodo. Discovered by a security researcher last week, the files confirm that AggregateIQ, a British Columbia-based data firm, developed the technology Cambridge Analytica sold to clients for millions of dollars during the 2016 US presidential election. Hundreds if not thousands of pages of code, as well as detailed notes signed by AggregateIQ staff, wholly substantiate recent reports that Cambridge Analytica’s software platform was not of its own creation. What’s more, the files reveal that AggregateIQ—also known as “AIQ”—is the developer behind campaign apps created for Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as well as a Ukrainian steel magnate named Serhiy Taruta, who’s head the country’s newly formed Osnova party. Other files show the firm once pitched an app to Breitbart News, the far-right website funded by hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer—Cambridge Analytica’s principal investor—and are currently working for WPA Intelligence, a US-based political consultancy founded by noted Republican pollster Chris Wilson, chief of Cruz’s digital strategy in 2016. Cambridge Analytica did not yet respond to a request for comment. (More at above url)
Cambridge Analytica accused of violating US election laws in new legal action http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/excl...-violating-us-election-laws/story?id=54010145 Amid mounting accusations that data firm Cambridge Analytica misused the Facebook data of up to 50 million user profiles, the U.K.-based firm and its top executives are now also under fire for alleged violations of U.S. election laws. Government watchdog group Common Cause Monday filed a pair of legal complaints with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Department of Justice accusing Cambridge Analytica LTD, its parent company SCL Group Limited, CEO Alexander Nix, SCL co-founder Nigel Oakes, data scientist Alexander Tayler, and former employee-turned-whistleblower Christopher Wylie of violating federal election laws that prohibit foreigners from participating directly or indirectly in the decision-making process of U.S. political campaigns. The defendants are all non-U.S. citizens, according to the complaints. (More at above url)
