Social Media and Influence Companies Related to the Trump Russia Story

Chart and highlights of companies reportedly involved with influence campaigns supporting Trump including SCL/Cambridge Analytica, Psy-Group, Black Cube, Data Propria and others.

What the chart shows is a lot of companies involved actually were/are owned by just a handful of people. Erik Prince, the Mercers, some others.
They simply created LLC s for a project, then shut them down when not needed.

Be sure to read the descriptions of who did what, it is a surprisingly short list.
