Title: Leave.EU Campaigner & Cambridge Analytica Director Subpoenaed by Mueller

QuoteA director of the controversial data company Cambridge Analytica, who appeared with Arron Banks at the launch of the Leave.EU campaign, has been subpoenaed by the US investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

A spokesman for Brittany Kaiser, former business development director for Cambridge Analytica â€" which collapsed after the Observer revealed details of its misuse of Facebook data â€" confirmed that she had been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller, and was cooperating fully with his investigation.

He added that she was assisting other US congressional and legal investigations into the company’s activities and had voluntarily turned over documents and data.

...
In August, Sam Patten, a US political consultant who had worked for Cambridge Analytica on campaigns in the US and abroad, struck a plea deal with Mueller after admitting he had failed to register as a foreign agent for a Ukrainian oligarch.

He became a subject of the special counsel’s inquiry because of work done with Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, in Ukraine. He had also set up a business with Konstantin Kilimnik, a key figure who Mueller has alleged has ties to Russian intelligence and who is facing charges of obstruction of justice. In a 2017 statement to the Washington Post, Kilimnik denied any connection to intelligence services. Kaiser, however, is the first person connected directly to both the Brexit and Trump campaigns known to have been questioned by Mueller.

...

Patten and Kaiser were involved in a controversial election campaign in Nigeria in January 2015, which former Cambridge Analytica employees say had “unsettling” parallels to the US presidential election.

The Guardian revealed that the data firm had worked alongside a team of unidentified Israeli intelligence operatives on the campaign. Ex-Cambridge Analytica employees described how the Israelis hacked the now-president of Nigeria’s emails and released damaging information about him to the press weeks before the election.

Wow, I cant imagine why the Russians would have been interested in helping destabilize the EU.

Very off-brand for them. /s

Who knows, perhaps the Mueller investigation might even help the British out at this rate and advert the train-wreck that is Brexit. Unlike some people, I don't find a country being torn apart by foreign parties and corrupt aristocrats something to sit back and laugh at...


On a semi-related note, what is up with Israel and fucking with Nigeria and Ethiopia? They have a habit of interfering with several of these African countries politics, and I haven't looked up what their interest in them is.

The Russians are behind every bad thing for 1000 years now (baptism of first Czar in Kiev).  Uber-evil.  Just ask the Germans.  Ah .. Mueller .. obviously a Chinese name?

Oh, I am more than aware that the United States is no better than them... and in truth, probably worse given our greater sphere of influence. I have been critical of it before.

But when it's foreign interference directly effecting me, then I have justifiable reason to be even more critical of it.

Do you support D party influence in our elections (using British secret service)?  Do your support R party influence in our elections (using Trump golf courses)?

See if we have domestic treason, you have to oppose all enemies, both foreign and domestic.  And I could make the same claim against the Tories and Labor in GB.

We are in a "final days of Roman Republic) mode.  Mr Mueller, chiefly involved in Uranium One?  With domestic political disintegration, you can only rely on the Armed Forces as a neutral party.  Trump is no Caesar, neither is Pelosi.  We await our General Al Haig?

Here is how you kick in the door of the rotten Republic ...

When reality is BS, then the septic tank cleaner is king.

Cambridge Analytica is MI6.  Try subpoenaing the CIA too.

Redrawing the latrine means cleaning it...  Redige animo

What, you don't like asparagine pee?  I love it.  I waft it up to my nasal sensory organs.  I glory in it.  But I like the smell of gasoline too.  And hate the smell of coffee and fish.  To each their own...
