Want a British take on Bannon’s ‘Deep State’ and how #CambridgeAnalytica is key to Mueller’s investigation? @MuellerSheWrote @WendySiegelman @profcarroll @justinhendrix @RVAwonk @sarahkendzior bylinetimes.com/2019/01/17/is-…
Here are SEVEN reasons #CambridgeAnalytica and its founder Steve Bannon may be key to the FBI’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and Trump Campaign collusion 
These lines of inquiry have been given more urgency by the recent revelations from Paul Manafort’s defence papers that he passed crucial voter data to a Russian agent and was focused on the US states Wisconsin and Michigan.
These marginal states, which Trump surprisingly won and paved his way to the White House, were targeted by both Putin’s Troll Farm (the Internet Research Agency) AND Cambridge Analytica.
The overall arc of Mueller’s investigation begs the overwhelming question: did Bannon’s Cambridge Analytica work in tandem with Russia in the 2016 elections?
And a little scoop from @BylineTimes over #CambridgeAnalytica’s work for Arron Banks “an invoice obtained via Byline by the Observer last year revealed services worth over £40,000 performed by the electioneering company for UKIP.”
Just in case you thought Bannon was a distant from #Brexit: “But the redacted address for the payment was not Cambridge Analytica’s London base, but Steve Bannon’s LA-based company Glittering Steel.”
