What if John Bolton PAC, was the PAC from the Walla! article, that rolled data over from Ben Carson to Trump?

Incoming national security adviser among Cambridge Analytica’s wide portfolio of GOP clients

John Bolton Super PAC paid Cambridge Analytica $1.1 million from 2014 to 2015

abcnews.go.com/Politics/incom…
"Newly tapped National Security Adviser and former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton’s eponymously named super PAC paid Cambridge Analytica over $1.1 million between 2014 and 2015 for “research” and “survey research” according to FEC filings."
"The...campaigns of Dr. Ben Carson and TX Sen. Ted Cruz, the senatorial campaigns of Thom Tillis, R-N.C. and Roy Blunt, R-MO, and the congressional campaigns of Rep Mimi Walters, R-Calif. and Rep Patrick McHenry, R-N.C. all paid Cambridge Analytica varying sums for their work."
"Cruz’s presidential campaign paid Cambridge Analytica over $5.8 million for its services, while Carson’s paid the firm $438,065."
"Doug Watts, a former comms dir for Carson’s presidential campaign, downplayed their payments to Cambridge Anayltica....Much of what they promised they didn't and couldn't deliver and we essentially phased them out of utility. We paid them $400K we raised $60M."

Um, wut.
Just marinate on that for a bit...

Secure America Now:

"Its board of directors includes several prominent Republicans, including MIKE HUCKABEE and JOHN R. BOLTON."

LOLOL.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Am…
"Ronald S. Lauder, the heir to the Estee Lauder fortune, gave $1.1M. Lauder has long been a supporter of conservative and pro-Israel causes, and his longtime political adviser Allen Roth serves as president of Secure America Now."

"EXCLUSIVE: Robert Mercer backed a secretive group that worked with Facebook, Google to target anti-Muslim ads at swing voters"

opensecrets.org/news/2018/04/e…
"Ned Ryun is the Founder & CEO of a Republican get-out-the-vote op called "Voter Gravity."

Voter Gravity received $36k from Ben Carson's official campaign in 2016..."

Guess they worked out their "regulatory problems"
