The Iowa caucus was on February 1, 2016, where Ted Cruz earned 27.7% of the vote, while Donald Trump earned 24.3% of the vote.

Marco Rubio, in third place, had 23.1%.

According to Alexander Nix, Cambridge Analytica was working with Ted Cruz's campaign for "over a year", which would suggest before February 2015 being the initiation of their working relationship.

Andy Wigmore said in June 2016 that Leave.EU did not use Cambridge Analytica as they could not get designation.

In February 2017, Andy Wigmore said that Cambridge Analytica was involved with Leave.EU, as Nigel Farage is a friend of the Mercer family, with Robert Mercer introducing Leave.EU to Cambridge Analytica.

On December 31, 2018, Josh Gerstein at Politico published the article "Suspect's Twitter messages played role in NSA hacking-tools leak probe".

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
"Messages that the former NSA computer security specialist, Hal Martin, sent via Twitter appear to have led to an FBI raid on his Maryland home and to his arrest on charges of retaining a vast trove of classified information there without permission."

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
For reference, Harold T. Martin III was arrested on August 27, 2016 after the Shadow Brokers initiated a hunt within the National Security Agency, where they found 16 years worth of classified information.

Since @jimsciutto doesn't understand that Christopher Steele was hired in June 2016 and the contract between Fusion GPS and Free Beacon ended before then, and that the first memo was written for June 20, 2016, I will explain it:

Christopher Steele was hired to write the dossier.
The fact that @CNN and @jimsciutto keep saying that Republicans funded the dossier would join with @Comey's idea that Republicans funded the dossier, which is completely incorrect.
You know, it's not the first time @jimsciutto has claimed that parts of the dossier have been verified. This was back in February 2017 though. I wonder who his source is?

"The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI's Cyber Division and its Washington Field Office, the DOJ's National Security Division, and US Attorney's Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation..."
"... but the FBI never requested access to the DNC's computer servers", Eric Walker, the DNC's deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email.

Quote is from Ali Watkins' BuzzFeed News article from January 4, 2017, "The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers".

"We have to replace Judge Scalia with justices of the Supreme Court like him. If Hillary Clinton gets in, she is now so far left, that we're never gonna have a country again. We're gonna end up being Venezuela. We're gonna end up being Venezuela." -DJT on July 27, 2016

2/ We're trying to piece the GOP primary & campaign together. As I've said, there's intentional disinfo given to MSM.

January 8, 2016:

The Koch brothers' "concern over the policies of Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas was especially clear."
nytimes.com/politics/first…
3/ So, Trump being the anti-establishment candidate, this either doesn't hurt him or helps him, right? The "establishment" wins by pumping money to Cruz and shoving out Trump, but they chose not to.

Then the stakes were raised in mid-February 2016 when Justice Scalia died.

Cambridge Analytica ‘spread fake news and misinformation...to coerce and mislead voters’ says Chris Wylie. Says Obama online comparing ‘completely different’
Wylie says that Breitbart UK was set up as part of Steve Bannon’s policy of trying to capture the culture of ‘the cultural leader’, the UK, which would then influence US politics
Interesting point. When @gavinsblog and I covered 2016 US election met people of Trump voters citing Brexit.
