Hold on. What? There's a new FBI indictment with....Paul Manafort & DANA ROHRABACHER! Not only Putin's favourite congressman but mine too! Time to pull out the photo they tried to delete...here with the one & only Mr Nigel Farage!
Brits: you need to get with Rohrabacher. This is his Mueller debut. But you know the schlubby guy who's just sitting at a bar in episode 1...?
politico.com/story/2016/11/…
Farage met Rohrabacher when he was out in California to work on Calexit. Which - fyi - was revealed to be a Russian influence operation. So. Nothing to see here. Nope.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” Kevin McCarthy, House Majority Leader.
Oh. And you know what else connects Dana Rohrabacher & Nigel Farage?
Only Ecuador's own....Julian Assange!

Ugh. So here we go again. Major £££ Facebook campaign targeting dozens of Labour MPs. When is Britain going to wake up to what's going on. What went on. And how our democracy has been utterly corrupted & debased by Facebook
Constituents of target Labour MPs being sent these ads by right-wing group. Here's @YvetteCooperMP but there's dozens more. When will Labour wake up & see the issues we've uncovered aren't to do with party politics, they're to do with democracy

NEW: Cambridge Analytica said US voter @profcarroll had no more right to know what data the company held on him than "a Taliban sitting in a cave". Today, it pleads guilty in case brought by Britain's ICO. This is a big deal. US citizens! You have..drum roll..rights to your data!
This has been a long haul for @profcarroll. We first wrote about his battle to get this data here. Today, Cambridge Analytica finally concede that he had a right to this data. Next question: will he actually get it?
theguardian.com/technology/201…
This all happening in the glamorous environs of Hendon magistrate's court. About as incongruous a location as you can imagine for qs about what data Cambridge Analytica had on 230 million US voters. Why was CA so determined not to hand it over? No answers to that today...

Instead of shitting on other journalists, Buzzfeed, why not *do* journalism? Your biggest investor sits on Facebook's board & is a close friend of Zuck's. He's refused to answer my qs about his sale of Facebook stock - right before Cambridge Analytica story first broke. Why?
You were the main publication shitting on the Cambridge Analytica story two years ago. "Snake oil"! "Conspiracy theory"! And you've been shitting on me ever since I published Wylie's story back in March.

It's all been just a bit odd

"OUR FRIEND V": In 2016 emails, PAUL MANAFORT & KONSTANTIN KILIMNIK used a single initial to refer to an OLEG DERIPASKA aide.
Turns out "V" is ex-GRU Victor Boyarkin, who @USTreasury sanctioned this mo. for having "led business negotiations" for Deripaska. time.com/5490169/paul-m…
The ex-GRU officer BOYARKIN tried to collect $19M that DERIPASKA alleged he was owed by MANAFORT ---- DURING the 2016 campaign. “I came down on him hard,” Boyarkin told @shustry, adding that Manafort "was offering ways to pay it back." time.com/5490169/paul-m…
To unpack this great @TIME piece a little: While PAUL MANAFORT was running TRUMP's campaign, he was also working with an "ex"-GRU officer to try to appease a Russian oligarch with close ties to PUTIN. time.com/5490169/paul-m…

#Manafort charging document for today's guilty plea includes details of his planting disinformation in US press to smear political rivals of his pro-Russia clients in Ukraine. Eg "Plant some stink on Tymo"—painting a female rival as a criminal who paid for murder. Sound familiar?
Manafort had used the same propaganda smear tactics in Ukraine that Trump rolled out in his campaign for president in 2016. Manafort not only had Tymo soliciting murder. He pushed tribal divisions, using "Obama Jews" & anti-Semitism to tarnish her. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
#Manafort manipulated the media with disinformation and then used those planted news stories to manipulate US govt: "I have someone pushing it on the NY Post. Bada bing bada boom…The Jewish community will take this out on Obama on election day if he does nothing.”
