Getting up to speed on George Cottrell? Read this by @nicohines on the aide to @Nigel_Farage who was busted by the FBI...& so we reveal in Observer today that docs about his arrest passed to Russian embassy by LeaveEU
thebea.st/2Cgj2gA?source…
So many interesting paragraphs. Remember this is the person who was charged with raising funds for @Nigel_Farage...
Get stuck in, Twitter.
Indictment here.
Oh, and you know who was there when he was arrested? @IsabelOakeshott...
If only someone knew what the real story was here...
documentcloud.org/documents/3011…
.@Arron_banks - if I send you a long list of questions about George, would you pass on the emails to the Sunday Times again? Go on...
Yoo hoo, Nige! Got some more questions for you...
The Bad Boys of Brexit - aka @Arron_banks's 'autobiography' as ghosted by @IsabelOakeshott - is the gift that keeps on giving. Look! It was @Nigel_Farage who got the charge sheet....which is you, know, interesting.
A reminder from mine & @peterjukes news story today. The docs that @andywigmore passed onto Russian embassy? The subject line said "Fw Cottrell - Eyes Only". So, here's what I'm wondering. Did they come from @Nigel_Farage?? If only, he'd be up for a chat..

Ugh. So here we go again. Major £££ Facebook campaign targeting dozens of Labour MPs. When is Britain going to wake up to what's going on. What went on. And how our democracy has been utterly corrupted & debased by Facebook
Constituents of target Labour MPs being sent these ads by right-wing group. Here's @YvetteCooperMP but there's dozens more. When will Labour wake up & see the issues we've uncovered aren't to do with party politics, they're to do with democracy

NEW: Cambridge Analytica said US voter @profcarroll had no more right to know what data the company held on him than "a Taliban sitting in a cave". Today, it pleads guilty in case brought by Britain's ICO. This is a big deal. US citizens! You have..drum roll..rights to your data!
This has been a long haul for @profcarroll. We first wrote about his battle to get this data here. Today, Cambridge Analytica finally concede that he had a right to this data. Next question: will he actually get it?
theguardian.com/technology/201…
This all happening in the glamorous environs of Hendon magistrate's court. About as incongruous a location as you can imagine for qs about what data Cambridge Analytica had on 230 million US voters. Why was CA so determined not to hand it over? No answers to that today...

Instead of shitting on other journalists, Buzzfeed, why not *do* journalism? Your biggest investor sits on Facebook's board & is a close friend of Zuck's. He's refused to answer my qs about his sale of Facebook stock - right before Cambridge Analytica story first broke. Why?
You were the main publication shitting on the Cambridge Analytica story two years ago. "Snake oil"! "Conspiracy theory"! And you've been shitting on me ever since I published Wylie's story back in March.

It's all been just a bit odd

Today in NY, 8 men were indicted on 13 charges incl incl. wire fraud, computer intrusion, aggravated ID theft, money laundering. What did they do? They ran a global ad fraud scheme. My exclusive story, and a thread about why these charges are a big deal: buzzfeednews.com/article/craigs…
In early 2017, Google and White Ops started working together to investigate a botnet. It had started small, but was growing, and kept evading efforts to contain it. They gave it a name: 3ve (pronounced eve). Soon, they shared info with the FBI because they were so concerned.
Here's the thing: criminal investigations of ad fraud are rare. It's crazy because ad fraud is one of the world's most lucrative criminal industries, second only to the drug trade! But recently the FBI has been getting up to speed on it. 3ve was the bureau's biggest case yet.

In 1940, President Roosevelt gave #FBI undercover agents authorization to gather intelligence about Nazi threats in western hemisphere. Over 7 years, 340 personnel made up the Special Intelligence Service. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/brief-…
In 1941, the current #FBI seal came into limited use. The prior seal was the DOJ seal w/ extra band for FBI & the motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” Special Agent Leo Gauthier created a new design, which has been the symbol ever since. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/seal-m…
Each symbol & color in the #FBI seal has special significance. The blue represents justice. The circle of 13 stars denotes unity of purpose as exemplified by the original 13 states. The laurel leaf symbolizes academic honors, distinction & fame. #FBI110

Follow all👇 Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. #FBI #Whistleblowers
Wow, I've never really paid a lot of attention to the FBI motto & it's meaning before. Light, truth, & peace. What a profound set of ideals if coupled with a person of good character. But as #WeThePeople have seen, the ill reputed character's failed miserably at representing👇
My question is why are those agents who did the right thing, penalized @realDonaldTrump? I needed agents like the aforementioned when I was searching for my trafficked daughter. Not the cover agents for the cabal, I ended up reporting to, who I believe jad a hand in her death.

💧Deluge💧

Big Picture TOC:

‘The whole mess of RU hacking, CA, the Trump & Leave Campaigns was not only a coup but an unprecedented shorting of the market through mass manipulation of the electorate w/ the aim of controlling not only geopolitics but the financial markets too’
💧Deluge2💧

Mueller’s RU probe will reach a “wild” level over the next couple of months, said Mark Warner

Court docs allegeTrump SoHo condominiums in the building were purchased using funds linked to a massive fraud case in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
💧Deluge3💧

Mueller nabs E. Prince's phones, computer & is said to be cooperating.

What does the British gov’t know about 45 & RU? Quite a lot, actually!

For the UK the choice over whether to back Mueller & the rule of law or the thug Putin & TOC, the choice is a no brainer.

#FBI MADE BEST BUY'S GEEK SQUAD PAID INFORMANTS |..who routinely searched customers computers for "illegal" material ocweekly.com/news/fbi-used-…
⤴️Best Buy & FBI
— in May 2017 Judge Carney ruled the warrant to search Dr. Rettenmaier's home was based on "false & misleading statements". The judge's ruling left many of the case's troubling issues unresolved, but seemed to validate the use of Geek Squad by FBI.

⤴️Judge throws out tainted fruit
— this case revealed a vast conspiracy (call it what it is) between the FBI & Best Buy to scan ppl's hard drives for illicit digital substances. Including bounties & targeted citizen lists. The judge threw out warrant because FBI lied.
