The great Cambridge Analytica Rehab Project kicks off with softball interview with former CEO Alexander Nix. Which, um, includes him confessing to bribing St Kitts politician. "Naive," he says. Er, no. It's "criminal". Totally illegal under UK Bribery Act

I'm sorry but this *is* a crime, isn't it, lawyers? UK Bribery Act was groundbreaking piece of legislation. We knew company was behind this - but just bizarre to confess to it while attempting to rehabilitate image. Doesn't this now put pressure on @NCA_LynneOwens to investigate?
This is also a crime under UK law. We published a year ago. @NCA_UK took no action or even got in touch. It's not that I want to see individuals punished. But actively seeking publicity while pretending entire story is a persecutory fantasy is...too much

For 2+ years, I've been subjected to a sustained campaign of propaganda & abuse by @guidofawkes. Sexist, relentless, week in, week out. And y'day, I learned Cambridge Analytica's successor is operating from his close friend & lawyer's office. Why is this so toxic? Let me explain
...Guido's obsession with me & @chrisinsilico & @shahmirUK has been out of all proportion. So what, right? It's just a poisonous right-wing blog. Who cares? Except, it's not. It's a cornerstone of the right-wing propaganda machine that dresses up disinformation as "journalism"
Guido's employees are treated as serious news sources on serious news programmes. The mainstream media legitimises & endorses Guido Fawkes. Here's Harwood on @bbcpolitics talking about *checks notes* feminism.

I'll translate this for America: Robert Mercer's daughters have shacked up with British hard right politico to do unknown stuff with unknown data. There was an Erik Prince dude involved but he got out. I think that's where we are.
Bekah & Jenji Mercer both very much still on board....
Still. Can't wait for the next Guido article calling me a conspiracy theorist nut. Because - OF COURSE - Guido & Donal Blaney are good friends. Griffin Law doesn't just represent Cambridge Analytica's new zombie lovechild but Paul Staines too.

Whoah! This is fascinating. Julian Wheatland, ex-Cambridge Analytica chairman, resigned today from Emerdata, the CA spin-off. And look what else is new: company's registered address now Griffin Law. Firm owned by scandal-prone Brexiteer & founder of Thatcher Centre, Donal Blaney
...Donal Blaney tied up in ALL sorts of things. He was head of the Young Britons Foundation, an offshoot of the Young America's Foundation, a Koch brothers-funded think tank that aimed to educate young people on "traditional values, limited government & Judo-Christian values"...
...and ALL sorts of people involved with the Young Britons Foundation, including Steve Bannon's right-hand dude, Raheem Kassam. And Matthew Richardson, ex-general secretary of UKIP & - so Andy Wigmore told me - Robert Mercer's man-in-London...

THREAD: Team🇺🇸Mueller is probing Team🇷🇺Trump's data op‼️

Mueller requested that Cambridge Analytica turn over emails of ALL employees who worked on the Trump campaign.

👋🏼Bye-bye, Brad Parscale & KUSH👋🏼

Cambridge Analytica *already* complied w/Mueller's request. We are hearing about this now, b/c the emails also had been turned over to the House Intelligence Committee.🤨 2/
Of course, we are only hearing about this now, but Mueller made his request *before* the media reported in October that Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix had contacted #WikiLeaks' Julian Assange during the 2016 campaign‼️ 3/
