Excellent work by @JasonLeopold!
Unfortunately the secrets behind these redactions from August remain a mystery. #CambridgeAnalytica whistleblower Brittany Kaiser told #TheGreatHack that she was cooperating with Mueller team. The Russia question remains..

For context @JasonLeopold obtained Kaiser's 302 in August of 2020. It's entirely redacted. ALL pages in the Mueller report related to #CambridgeAnalytica and any potential Russian connection is redacted. ICO in the UK referred Russia connection to the NCA

We know from #SSCIVol5 that #CambridgeAnalytica potentially did work with/for Lukoil. Redactions remain over that.
ICO finally released details on its forensics of seized CA/SCL servers today. Skeptics will revel in these observations but even ICO fails to remind the reader here that they had previously determined that the company breached law, regardless of efficacy. committees.parliament.uk/publications/2…
Headline here is the UK authority is hinting in a most British way that the RNC's data operation could continue to be contaminated by the Kogan data. Unless we do anything about it, it will remain a dark cloud over the RNC Data Trust which is apparently a cybersecurity disasster.
ICO's forensics comports with my assumptions. 30 million US voters had relatively accurate predictions modeled from their direct Facebook data harvesting. All remaining registered voters (including me) had modeled predictions that were far less useful (but we didn't matter).
#SSCIVol5: Something that didn't come up in initial look was Psy Group work with CA for General Electric?! What business did they have with GE? (1)
They signed this memo/of understanding in 2016. Still more here. @profcarroll @carolecadwalla @EmmaLBriant @WendySiegelman @charleskriel

Only person I saw report this was @Bing_Chris but nothing beyond that.

Faux-bama is a smokescreen for the Putin worship. Of course the ultimate American fascist is racist af.
Fun fact: SCL worked for Nelson Mandela before it branched off into Cambridge Analytica. See @HindsightFiles. The Mercers bought it later (see #SSCIvol5) which ended up quite useful to funnel unregulated money and data into Trump.
Russia got our voter data which is what I assumed the whole time.
Love to see folks saying voter data is public and for sale by data brokers so there’s nothing to see here. It’s not like the #SSCIvol5 didn’t sound the warning bell on our lax approach to data privacy making us sitting ducks for abuse by adversaries. #TheGreatHack
Why did the Mercers company export our voter profiles to the UK? Even Manafort henchman Rick Gates was worried about our data ending up there. And he was sending it to a Russian intelligence agent over WhatsApp! #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
Seems like folks are afraid to ask whether Qanon is an industrial grade influence operation because it feels safer to just assume it’s a random amateur who struck gold for the lulz.
but you know I could just be spending too much time re-reading Section J in #SSCIvol5
Those companies are all dead and buried now but new ones sprout up from the fertilizer. Report shows in vivid detail how the campaign was welcoming a barrage of defense contractor and private intel proposals from foreign black op shops, executions of which remain murky. #SSCIvol5
Got my Cambridge Analytica Google alert. Not a single article covering the revelations about the company in the final Senate Intel Committe report released yesterday. #TheGreatHack #SSCIvol5
SCOOPS:
—Neither Nix nor UK authorities cooperated
—Rick Gates was concerned US voter data being processed in UK by SCL
—CA/SCL cooperation w/ PSY Group and Colt/VizSense indentifed
—Same data shared with RU intelligence agent used by CA/SCL for campaign
—Unclear on psychometrics
—Neither Nix nor UK authorities cooperated
—Rick Gates was concerned US voter data being processed in UK by SCL
—CA/SCL cooperation w/ PSY Group and Colt/VizSense indentifed
—Same data shared with RU intelligence agent used by CA/SCL for campaign
—Unclear on psychometrics
And those scoops don’t even include the many flavors of evidence from @chrisinsilico and @OwnYourDataNow/@HindsightFiles #TheGreatHack #SSCIvol5
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence did not have the cooperation of Alexander Nix. In the following thread, I catalogue the instances I believe Nix misled, deceived, weaseled, and subterfuged the GOP led House Permanent Select Committee sham skype. #SSCIvol5 #TheGreatHack
Nix refused the Senate and lied to the House. #TheGreatHack
It gets worse. The SSCI did not have the cooperation of the UK authorities. The seized server forensics remain shrouded in mystery to this day. #TheGreatHack
Reading up on how Flynn’s favorite private influence shop (Colt/VizSense) pitched the campaign with influencer analytics (“digital soldiers”?) CA/SCL’s Oczkowski and an unspecified “UK expert”were dialed in on a foreign voter vote-by-mail campaign. #SSCIvol5
Oh wow look who makes a cameo in here. #SSCIvol5
There’s a whole section on Cambridge Analytica in the just released SSCI report. Digging in now. #TheGreatHack
Just posting stuff as it jumps out at me as I scan thru this. Press pushed narrative that "psychographics weren't even used" but maybe reporters were trusting unreliable narrators and operatives with skin in the game. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
Because @JamieJBartlett got Nix to finally admit on camera that "legacy data models" from the Cruz campaign were used in the Trump campaign, this diagram makes sense to me in the weasel-worded non-denial denials. #SSCIVol5 #TheGreatHack
