The Mercers need to be investigated and charged due to their collaboration with CA and so does Bannon.

“What the Mercers did” is referring to several stories that have been posted by the New York Times and the UK's and the Guardian newspapers exposing in detail the fascistic sabotage (not their words; I get to say a few things here too) of Cambridge Analytica. That was the data crunching firm that was: A) funded by Robert and Rebecca Mercer, B) headed up by Steve Bannon, and C) whose main data crunching bastard was Brad Parscale (lately named head of the Trump 2020 re-election “campaign/fleecing/scam.”) The two newspapers, apparently with slightly different sourcing, reveal the links between CA, what and how they used Facebook (and why THEY are suddenly running scared and have just booted CA off the platform; talk about closing the cyber-barn door after the stampede ran through 157 years ago---way to get right on that, Zuckerberg!). Lukoil is involved, a Russian oil firm on the sanctions list who, gee, suddenly was willing to pay a few million bucks for….wait for it…. election demographic information for the 4th ward, precinct 11 in Akron, OH! “shrugs” I don’t know the oil business at all, so I guess they saw a marketing or drilling opportunity there, huh?).
