(12,448 posts)He's in the intelligence/evidence gathering phase right now which takes time, but it seems to be moving along. I'm no lawyer but it's probably the most important part of the investigation. He can't get ANYTHING wrong.

(10,507 posts)If so, there's a line round the back connecting Bannon to cambridge, and the whole thing is a nice tidy little ring, isnt it?
Seems like a pretty good way to get clean money back after putting dirty money in, don't it?
Jesus look at that list of names that sublet from Harris Group. By next Saturday half the Senate will be speaking through their private lawyers lol...

(58,785 posts)Parscale's probably small potatoes--elbowed aside early on by the Cambridge Analytica operation nutcase billionaire Mercer brought in, but of course what does Parscale know?
Bannon, though, boasts of an ultraconservative international movement to destroy both liberalism and secularism, both lynch pins of successful democracies. He was on the board of Cambridge Analytica, but that is just the US subsidiary of a much older UK defense contractor Strategic Communication Laboratories, commonly known as SCL Group. SCL's "a "global election management agency" that's apparently been most active in "developing" nations.
As for possible ties to Russia, the most well known site I found connecting SCL-Russia-Trump is DailyKos. These names are being circulated among obscure-to-me sites but apparently not yet reported by investigative journalists with reputations for integrity to protect.
"19 Paths to Putin: Donald Trump has many connections to Putin. Time to count the ways. ...
His Chief Strategist is Steve Bannon. Bannon is the CEO of Breitbart, with the Mercer family having majority ownership. The Mercers, along with Bannon are heavily involved in Cambridge Analytica a data gathering firm. Cambridge Analyticas parent company is SCL Group, which lists Dmitry Firtash as a board member. Breitbart and Bannon have extensive ties to the far right movement in Europe which is also funded by Putin."

Grabbed quickly from one of those obscure sites: "Cambridge Analyticas British parent company, SCL, has attracted criticism for some unusual strategies, such as trying to persuade opposition supporters not to vote in a Nigerian election, using the influence of local religious figures. Interesting work, but obviously not being paid to spread democracy.

(70,747 posts)a while ago. Sometime Palmer is right.
"When the FBI raided a Republican fundraising firm in Annapolis this week, just two days after Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, questions abounded as to whether the raid was in response to the firing. Those questions still lack a definitive answer, and the FBI is unlikely to comment on the matter any time soon. But it turns out the firm in question has ties to Donald Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon.
Palmer Reports own internal research was able to connect the dots between Strategic Campaign Group, the firm whose offices were raided by the FBI this week, and former Donald Trump campaign advisers Paul Manafort and Roger Stone (link). But it turns out thats not the only connection between the firm and Trump. Sarah Smith, an attorney, did her own digging and connected the dots between Strategic Campaign Group and a company called Cambridge Analytica, which was being run by Steve Bannon until he took over the Trump campaign (link)."

(9,974 posts)For Cambridge Analytica involvement...they all bragged about *** publically***in various post election articles how they gathered both on and offline data on Americans..like over 200 million of us...thousands of types of data on EACH PERSON. And it's where the targeting of voters via social media, etc happened.
From one of the several articles I've seen: RNC, Preibus, Trump campaigners etc..even went down there to talk about how if Trump wanted the RNC's database of voters to target for fund raising then the RNC would automatically get 60 or 70 percent (forget the exact amount of it but it was around that much) of the funds raised.
So what did the Trumpers do? They went and got specific data of over 200 millions Americans on their own via Project Alamo and CA using their software, social media manipulation. And basically got to thumb their noses at the RNC because they no longer needed the RNC list...
There was a worker down there who had a post election blog detailing some things about the site. She said there were speaker phone comference calls with higher ups in NYC Trump Tower.

Im not gonna lie, it was pretty interesting being on a call with the VIPs of the campaign Giuliani, Omarosa, Pierson but, I never said a word. The NYC team had their way of doing things and honestly, never seemed very interested in what Project Alamo was doing (but thats another story Ill get into, later).
