I'm having a hard time keeping up with all these criminal threads. Cambridge Analytica is connected to the Mercers, right? That might bring in Bannon, their minion.....

I have many bookmarked articles, but these 2 are flagged. Perhaps they'll suffice to fill you in.

How the Trump campaign used big data to elect a president.

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked
A shadowy global operation involving big data, billionaire friends of Trump and the disparate forces of the Leave campaign influenced the result of the EU referendum. As Britain heads to the polls again, is our electoral process still fit for purpose?

I was checking some of the replies to Tea Pain's tweet, and there seems to be a belief that something is going to happen tomorrow. A lot of discussion about how things are getting serious now, and Mueller might be very close to getting fired, as he is in amongst the true weeds now, and those involved hear the footsteps closing in.

And I love him. He appears to know what he's talking about but I'm losing track lately of whom predicts what.

I remember the explosion of posts about her private email server and huge number of emails released for weeks and months. If I was targeted with other stuff, I didn't notice.

By repeating over and over it seemed significant. Got it.

Well, it took litle time to reveal none of the e-mails revealed anything, Having a private server is irresponsible.

The big question - Am I to just switch to Trump. Does it have any impact? Of course not. The Russians hacked into a server. That's it. It was also way overblown for partisan reasons.I did not pay much attention.
