***Cambridge Analytica was meeting w/ Corey Lewandowski in 2015 before Trump had even announced***

“Cambridge Analytica was meeting with Corey Lewandowski in 2015 before Trump had even announced and offering the services that I’m talking about right now,” whistleblower Christopher Wylie said

Just to add to this, Bannon was on the (still cryptic) board of Cambridge Analytica. All of his companies—Breitbart, his shadowy production company Glittering Steel (which boosted the Uranium One conspiracy theory in their movie Clinton Cash)—shared a U.S. address with Cambridge.

I know they worked for Ted Cruz initially, then jumped to Trump when Cruz was too far behind to compete

Of course, good criminals already know to do this.

Sloppy and lazy ones think no one can possibly match their postal addresses, their web site IPs, their email servers, their writing styles and content, their time-zones, their links to others.

Fortunately many of us are becoming much better at tracking fakers. ProPublica is good. Wikileeks not so much.

It stands to reason that those in the Mercer orbit will be found to have involvement. Not really interested in your parsing today.

But with FB's awareness (but not exlplicit approval) for two years; Cambride Analytica met with a Russian Oil company that inquired about obtaining voting/political data on US voters back in 2013 - THAT's big news that wasn't known before this story came out.

There is a common purpose for saying them.

I didn't see his name mentioned in the stories that came out this weekend, but I know I read that Jared was meeting with them during the transition after the election. Also in the first days of Trump's presidency, when we learned that Jared asked for a backchannel connection to Russia. During that time he was taking meetings at CA, and we don't know why.

I hope Mueller is looking into this. Certainly it has to do with Mercer's money and probably Russian involvement somehow.

Corey Lewandowski says he doesn't know who they are....Who are you going to believe?

The fact that they were meeting before the man-child announced his un for the presidency doesn't mean they were not already planning their scam...

Muller, why are you taking so long? Please...get it over with.
