(14,971 posts)The Trump campaign is scrambling to distance itself from Cambridge Analytica amid Assange-Hillary Clinton email flap
The Trump campaign hired Cambridge Analytica in June 2016 to help target ads using voter data collected from approximately 230 million US adults.
Multiple outlets, including NBC News and The Washington Post, reported that the campaign paid Cambridge Analytica more than $5 million in September alone, up from $250,000 in August.
But Michael S. Glassner, the executive director of Trump's campaign, said in a statement on Wednesday hours after The Daily Beast reported on the data firm's outreach to Assange that the only source of voter data that played a key role in Trump's election victory was the Republican National Committee.
Brad Parscale, the digital director of the Trump campaign's entire data operation, similarly downplayed Cambridge's role in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
"I have said from the beginning this" $5 million "Cambridge invoice is mislabeled in the FEC reports," Parscale said.
Parscale hired Cambridge Analytica in June 2016, partly at the urging former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who was the former vice president of Cambridge's board, according to The New York Times. Bannon was the Trump campaign's CEO before he joined the White House staff.

mislabeled my ass. They used CA's tactics for micro-targeting Facebook users just like they did during Brexit.

(19,201 posts)and even afterward, Republicans were calling to Assange to be executed for...........treason! Imagine that. Now they love, LOVE them some Julian Assange. It's amazing how their minds changed so quickly.

On average you'll lose 75% of your position.
