Wow. Multiple Trump stories just ran smack into each other. Who should turn up in a story about Psy Group, the Israeli intelligence outfit, that met with Don Trump, the Saudis & UAE? Why, it's only Cambridge Analytica... bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I have a LOT of questions about this. But first some facts...Psy Group & Cambridge Analytica teamed up after Trump got elected to pitch US State Dept. Doing dodgy things with social media using former Mossad agents seems to be the USP. They also pitched PACs. Because: democratic
Mueller is investigating payments to Psy Group via Cyprus. Because: isn't it always.
Who were the "Israelis" who hacked president of Nigeria's emails & then passed them to Cambridge Analytica to leak? Black Cube? Mossad? Or, new boys on the block, Psy Group? This is a good q for Alexander Nix when he comes to parliament, @DamianCollins...

Oh yes. And there's that. Psy Group & Cambridge Analytica use the same law firm. Total random, Rudy Giuliani's...

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

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.
