When it became clear that Ted ‘Uranus’ Cruz could not win, Nazi Billionaire Robert Mercer flipped to Trump.  Trump inherited three things, in addition to a bottomless pants load of money.  He got Smellyanne Conway, Steve ‘Breitfart’ Bannon, and propaganda firm Cambridge Analytica, who partnered with Facebook to steal data on the most intimate personal habits of fifty million Americans for Trump and the Republican Party.<\/font><\/p>\n

Sitting in a hotel bar, Alexander Nix, who runs the political data firm Cambridge Analytica, had a few ideas for a prospective client looking for help in a foreign election. The firm could send an attractive woman to seduce a rival candidate and secretly videotape the encounter, Mr. Nix said, or send someone posing as a wealthy land developer to pass a bribe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long history of working behind the scenes,\u201d Mr. Nix said.<\/p>\n

The prospective client, though, was actually a reporter from Channel 4 News in Britain, and the encounter was secretly filmed as part of a monthslong investigation into Cambridge Analytica, the data firm with ties to President Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n

The results of Channel 4\u2019s work were broadcast<\/a> in Britain on Monday, days after reports <\/a>in The New York Times and The Observer of London that the firm had harvested the data from more than 50 million Facebook profiles in its bid to develop techniques for predicting the behavior of individual American voters.<\/p>\n

The weekend\u2019s reports about the data misuse have prompted calls<\/a> from lawmakers in Britain and the United States for renewed scrutiny of Facebook, and at least two American state prosecutors have said they are looking into the misuse of data by Cambridge Analytica.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if Putin got a Honey Trap from Cambridge Analytica to entrap Trump?<\/font><\/p>\n
