Bannon "Crapping Diamonds" As House Calls Campaign Digital Director To Testify In Russia Probe

[UCmeNdc]

A GOP strategist named Rick Wilson tweeted Friday, “A little bird tells me that a certain White House staff member whose name rhymes with Beeve Stannon is crapping diamonds over Parscale.” Steve Bannon has every reason to be so nervous over Trump campaign digital director Brad Parscale being called to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, which is very interested in how Russian bots targeted political messages in critical swing states, and Parscale is the man to ask.

Parscale played a critical role in the Trump campaign, directing online spending and voter targeting. Parscale was in charge of a highly sophisticated data bank built and paid for by the Republican National Committee. More details on this story and how it could blow the Trump Russia investigation wide open from CNN:

1. I hope this also leads to money daddy Robert Mercer* and daughter Rebekah*...

...they've been funding both bannon* and brietbart* for awhile now. The Mercer* family is also the principle behind Cambridge Analytica.

2. He will just hook up with the Aryan Brotherhood in prison and be fine.

3. shittin kittens is how we say it.

[meow2u3]

8. Where I come from, it's called "shitting bricks"

And the more bricks Bannon shits, the better!

[woodsprite]

9. Or as my dad used to say "shitting little square bricks". n/t

5. I'll bet Brad takes the Fifth.

[Javaman]

7. of course he will, he wants to cut a deal. nt

[WinkyDink]

13. The 5th won't get him any deal; testimony will.

[Javaman]

16. good point.

maybe he will plead the 5th in public and spill the beans in private to the people doing the investigating?

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Exactly my thought.

In fact, I hope he takes it because that would mean he's guilty as hell.

6. Diamonds are a churl's best friend.

[arthritisR_US]

11. Priebus should be worried as well. nt

[procon]

12. And who was the head of the Republican National Committee?

Why, it was Reince Priebus, who is now Trump's White House Chief of Staff. Parscale is linked with Mercer's Cambridge Analytica where Bannon was listed as as a company officer:

"According to the RNC and others involved closely with the data work supporting the Trump campaign, Cambridge Analytica staff embedded with Giles-Parscale in San Antonio focused on digital advertising for persuasion and fundraising..."

These traitors loosed Russian bots on the 200 million voters in the RNC database, another 14 million people in Brad Parscale's Project Alamo Database, and Cambridge Analytica has claimed to have a database of 230 million American adults, so this opens a new line of investigations into the use of all these voter rolls.

[WinkyDink]

15. And I'll bet that they all thought they were being oh, so darn CLEVER! #prisonsarefullofcleverperps

[Ligyron]

14. Mueller and what's left of the DOJ need to be on this

in order for anything to happen legally. Mere exposure isn't enough of a consequence.

[WinkyDink]

17. If WE are, MUELLER is.

[Hekate]

18. Awww

[Texin]

19. Is this perhaps related to multiple FBI raids on Data Analytics?

And there was yet another news story about the same company leaving an unsecured server vulnerable to intrusion and purportedly 190 million voters' records over the past ten years - since President Obama was elected - have been compromised.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Probably. Bannon/Breitbart is funded by Mercer billionaires who have a different analytical company

Their company is Cambridge Analytica and did a lot of work in the election analyzing social media data.

There may even be DATA LAUNDERING going on, to distance themselves from the exposed data records. i.e. maybe Cambridge via other firms to Data Analytics which then leaves the data exposed. Let It Happen On Purpose LIHOP and O.o maybe the Russians "happened" to find it.

Those 190 million records are much deeper than just voter registration. Many have multiple data points, up to 48 in some cases, gleaned from social media.

21. Will Parscale be Trump's Alexander Butterfield?

nt

[Amaryllis]

22. Would that ever be sweet if they implicate RNC in Russiagate.

[genxlib]

23. I have a stinking suspicion

Call me cynical but I can see where this is headed.

Tons of scheming and dirty dealing only to find out that they get to weasel out on technicalities.

I can hear it now.

"It isn't illegal to collect info on voters. It isn't illegal to float fake news. It isn't against the law to target said fake news to specific voters. It isn't our fault if the Russians happened to find our database."

It pisses me off when people evade consequences just because the laws don't specifically address their particular brand of fuckery. Reminds me of the 2008 Financial Collapse where people made the excuse that it wasn't illegal to sell hundreds of billions of dollars of worthless mortgages and mortgage backed securities.
