That would also mean that tainted Cambridge Analytica data is now part of the Republican campaign bloodstream.
Folks, we are now looking at the real possibility that every Republican campaign getting data from the RNC Data Trust continues to benefit from Cambridge Analytica.
Mere coincidence that the John Birch Society wanted Americans to stop looking at the possibility of Russian interference in the 2016 election way back in June?

Generally prosecutors can't introduce evidence of alleged bad acts that aren't charged at trial, but there are exceptions if it serves a purpose other than just attacking a defendant's character. It's known as 404(b) evidence, see: (link: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule_404) law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule…
The govt has to disclose 404(b) evidence in advance of trial, to give the defense notice so they can prepare. Here, Mueller's office says there are three categories of evidence about Manafort that they plan to introduce as 404(b) evidence (link: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4516938/6-15-18-US-Notice-of-Manafort-404b-Evidence.pdf) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4516…
Manafort could move to exclude 404(b) evidence. But Mueller's office also argues at least some of this evidence, such as about Manafort allegedly structuring payments to a law firm to avoid Ukrainian procurement limits, is "intrinsic" to the charges, so it's not even 404(b) ev
They're getting to the heart of the matter now, Cyprus. You know, don't underestimate Wilbur "sleepy" Ross's role in all this because he's an old man, he was big time involved in bank of Cyprus, the #1 Russian money laundering machine on the planet

Rep. Joe Kennedy III: Separating Immigrant Families 'Is Cruelty in Its Purest Form'
https://www.google.com/amp/s/ijr.com/2018/06/1103551-joe-kennedy-immigrant-families/amp/
Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) tore into the Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant families in a searing speech from the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday.
“Mr. Speaker, tonight children — 2, 3, 4 years old — will sleep alone in cages on American soil,” he said.
Yes, the brutality being perpetrated by the United States government is about who we are as a country,” Kennedy explained. “It's about morality. It's about humanity.”
“But first,” he added, “it's about those kids.”
Kennedy described some of the conditions and circumstances that immigrant children have found themselves in after being separated from their families.
A new Trump administration policy of criminally prosecuting anyone who illegally crosses the border will likely cause an increase in family separations because minors can not accompany their parents to federal jails.

AP: Trump 2020 working with ex-Cambridge Analytica staffers
By JEFF HORWITZ
32 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — A company run by former officials at Cambridge Analytica, the political consulting firm brought down by a scandal over how it obtained Facebook users' private data, has quietly been working for President Donald Trump's 2020 re-election effort, The Associated Press has learned.
The AP confirmed that at least four former Cambridge Analytica employees are affiliated with Data Propria, a new company specializing in voter and consumer targeting work similar to Cambridge Analytica's efforts before its collapse. The company's former head of product, Matt Oczkowski, leads the new firm, which also includes Cambridge Analytica's former chief data scientist.
Oczkowski denied a link to the Trump campaign, but acknowledged that his new firm has agreed to do 2018 campaign work for the Republican National Committee. Oczkowski led the Cambridge Analytica data team which worked on Trump's successful 2016 campaign.
The AP learned of Data Propria's role in Trump's re-election effort as a result of conversations held with political contacts and prospective clients in recent weeks by Oczkowski. In one such conversation, which took place in a public place and was overheard by two AP reporters, Oczkowski said he and and Trump's 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, were "doing the president's work for 2020."
In addition, a person familiar with Data Propria's Washington efforts, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect business relationships, confirmed to the AP that Trump-related 2020 work already had begun at the firm along the lines of Cambridge Analytica's 2016 work.
Both Oczkowski and Parscale told the AP that no Trump re-election work by Data Propria was even planned, but confirmed that Parscale had helped Data Propria line up a successful bid on 2018 midterm polling-related work for the RNC

World Cup: NAPTIP foils child trafficking plot at Lagos airport
Jun 13, 2018 | The Nigerian Voice
National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) on Tuesday said 10 Nigerian children have been rescued from human traffickers planning to fly them to Russia and exploit relaxed visa controls for the World Cup.
NAPTIP said five suspects, including a policeman and a quarantine officer, were arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, for allegedly recruiting the victims – nine girls and a boy – and facilitating their travel.
The children – who were all in possession of a FIFA fan pass – were intercepted by officials as they tried to board a flight to Moscow on Saturday night, according to the agency.
Five other potential victims, also children, were stopped from boarding when staff noticed they only had one-way tickets.
Officials in Nigeria said last month they had intelligence showing plans were underway to traffic local women to Russia for the World Cup, taking advantage of Moscow’s decision to let spectators enter the country with just a ticket and a fan pass.
“The agency will not give traffickers any opportunity to use the World Cup to ferry Nigerians out into a life of misery abroad,” NAPTIP’s Director-General Julie Okah-Donli said in a statement.
Visa-free entry to Russia was trialled at the Confederations Cup in Moscow last year, and will apply to the entire World Cup, which runs across 11 Russian cities from June 14 to July 15.
Julia Siluyanova of Russian anti-slavery group Alternativa last month told the Thomson Reuters Foundation the eased visa rules were a “present for traffickers”, as its normally strict system had typically made trafficking time-consuming and costly.
Many women and girls have been lured from Nigeria in recent years with promises of work and good wages only to end up sold for sex and trapped in debt bondage, and the World Cup could see the number of victims arriving in Russia soar, Siluyanova added.
Snip
The number of female Nigerians arriving in Italy by boat surged to more than 11,000 in 2016 from 1,500 in 2014, with at least four in five forced into prostitution, according to data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM)

Just a thought:
Maybe the 'P' in Pee Tape, is for Trafficking of Pedophilia.
This goes back to Trump's modelling agency, his young bride Melania, & down to Epshteyn & his Fla underage charges, & all the way around the globe.
Personally I worry about the kids in the walmart prisons.
FIFA & Russia & the global criminal business of human trafficking.
Trump's up to his fat neck in the syndicate.
Everything I've read on this subject & Trump's connections point to a big red flag.
Its ok to call it a conspiracy theory, but only until its proven true.
"When the truth of Trump is known, it will shock the nation"
I'm betting Pee is for Pedophilia and the trafficking of underage children.
And there are tapes? yes.
I also want to know who all has holdings in Southwest Key.
Remember when they accused Cl8nton of trafficking kids out of Pizza Hut?
"Pizzagate".

Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border. Join us on June 14, 2018
Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S. We protest the conditions in which these children are kept.
We protest the irreversible trauma that has already been perpetrated on these children and their parents for the crime of seeking a better life.
To separate immigrant families, victims of violence, hunger and poverty, is to re-violate them. Children as young as 18 months are torn from their mother’s arms by the U.S. government.
This is violent abuse.
These families are victimized again by the government to which they turn for help. Families Belong Together opposes the inhumane policies of the Trump Administration, Border Patrol, and I.C.E. and calls for immediate reform.
----
Familias Unidas, No Divididas rechaza la separación cruel, inhumana e injustificada de niños de sus padres a lo largo de la frontera de los Estados Unidos con México y en otros puertos de entrada a los EE. UU. Protestamos por las condiciones en las que se mantienen a estos niños. Protestamos contra el trauma irreversible que ya se ha perpetrado contra estos niños y sus padres por el delito de buscar una vida mejor.
Separar a las familias inmigrantes, familias víctima de la violencia, el hambre y la pobreza es volver a violentarlas. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos separa a niños de tan solo 18 meses de los brazos de sus madres. Esto es abuso. Estas familias son nuevamente victimizadas por el gobierno al que acuden en busca de ayuda. Familias Unidas, No Divididas se opone a las políticas inhumanas de la administración de Donald Trump, Protección Fronteriza y I.C.E. y pide una reforma inmediata.
