💥 Mueller has subpoenaed Cambridge Analytica’s former business development director Brittany Kaiser - her spokesman said she has turned over documents & data, the summons came after The Guardian revealed she had visited Julian Assange by @carolecadwalla
theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
“Kaiser says that she has gone from being a cooperating witness to a subject of investigation because of her contact with Assange.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
In August 2018 Sam Patten pled guilty to failing to register as a foreign agent and agreed to cooperate with Mueller - Patten was a consultant for Cambridge Analytica, had worked w/Manafort in Ukraine and set up a company in 2015 with Konstantin Kilimnik

More important details on the significance of the story by @carolecadwalla about Mueller’s subpoena to Cambridge Analytica’s Brittany Kaiser, and her links to both the US election and Brexit, in this thread
I’ve looked forward to news that Mueller is investigating Cambridge Analytica - today’s story said Kaiser received Mueller’s subpoena after the article on her meeting with Assange which came out in June 2018 - so Mueller has been looking at CA for months theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/j…
Here’s the chart I created with @annmarlowe showing the complex business structure of Cambridge Analytica before most of the entities closed - Emerdata Ltd, Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC & SCL Insight Ltd are still active medium.com/@wsiegelman/sc…
Here’s story from last March on Emerdata - company set up to replace Cambridge Analytica that is still active with board members Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer and Gary Tiu (an associate of Johnson Ko, Erik Prince’s biz partner at FSG) medium.com/@wsiegelman/ca…

‘They killed Jano’ - A year after Ján Kuciak’s murder, the price for investigating organized crime is still far too high. by @DrewOCCRP politico.eu/article/they-k…
Reporters like Ján Kuciak and Daphne Caruana Galizia "are not supposed to be killed for their work. It’s a breakdown of our values and social norms" "...reporting in an environment where this can happen is a little like painting a house when it is on fire"
politico.eu/article/they-k…
About 20-30 years ago, organized crime globalized with the help of the “criminal services industry” — the Western banks, law firms, registration agents, Golden Visa peddlers, business intelligence firms, hedge funds and lobbyists who service their needs.

The problem with enforcement of anti-corruption laws is that “officials rarely have the fortitude to go after big, well-connected targets like Manafort.” If he hadn’t joined the campaign he would have gotten away with all he’s done, by @FranklinFoer
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The immediate priority is pursuing justice related to the Trump-Russia investigation but wider systemic failures also need to be addressed as well
This piece by @DrewOCCRP highlights the systematic failures that enable criminal $ to flow to the west to be laundered with the help of established service partners - and the life and death risks to reporters who investigate these stories

Mueller questions Cambridge Analytica director Brittany Kaiser. She is assisting other US congressional and legal investigations into the company’s activities and has voluntarily turned over documents and data.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
Kaiser is the first person connected directly to both the Brexit and Trump campaigns known to have been questioned by Mueller.
Kaiser says that she has gone from being a cooperating witness to a SUBJECT of investigation because of her contact with Julian Assange.

@SbyBT
“no surprise” that Kaiser was under scrutiny by #Mueller because “her work connected her to #WikiLeaks, #CambridgeAnalytica and [its parent company] SCL, the #Trump campaign, Leave .EU and Arron Banks”.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
Her motive for doing so is likely to come under scrutiny: this has been a catastrophic week for the firm – and Kaiser was a senior executive. She claims, however, that it is because she wants to stop telling lies.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/m…
The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee is publishing further written evidence from former Cambridge Analytica employee, Brittany Kaiser.
