So is Cambridge Analytica the answer to GOP failure to oppose Shitler?

Many of us on DU have wondered if Trump, Putin or others had info to blackmail GOP leadership. Their failure to oppose Shitler on virtually anything is mind-boggling.

Yes, they are all about staying in power at any cost, but their refusal to stand up for ANYTHING is simply astounding.

Lindsey Graham
Paul Ryan
Mitch McConnel
Mike Pence

Did they get ensnared in CA too?

Apparently Ted Cruz did.

AND who else were they working for.
Some of these GOP Congresscreeps might be beholden to CA for their very jobs.

Originally thought it was Putin-backed hackers, which stole RNC data. But now I realize that this blackmail info has to be of a personal nature. Look at all the Republicans who have announced they will be retiring/not seeking re-election. Let's see if they start lawyering up.

CA gathered the goods and then they were likely also passed along to Putin via Aleksandr Kogan to use as kompromat.

And of course, CA was a Mercer operation, and they contributed lots of money to Republicans as well.

It's all so tied together I've become cross-eyed just trying to glom onto an overview of sorts, nevermind getting all the details lined up and in order.
