Y'all knew NRA was a Cambridge Analytica client, I'm sure

In the wake of revelations that the data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica harvested millions of Facebook users' personal information to help elect Donald Trump as president, a report that the National Rifle Association also teamed up with the firm to help block Hillary Clinton from the White House in 2016 has resurfaced.

The NRA's ties to Cambridge Analytica were buried in a September 2016 Guardian story that detailed the gun group's eagerness to see Clinton defeated and deny her the opportunity to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat. It's also one strand in a web of Trump-NRA relationships.

Cambridge Analytica worked with a Washington, D.C.-based consulting company, The Herald Group, to promote the NRA's "Trigger the Vote," aimed at registering voters and getting them to the polls. The London-based analytics firm is also partly owned by Robert Mercer, an American billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump's top campaign donor—he donated more than $15 million to Trump's election, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending. Mercer is also a lifetime NRA member, according to the Guardian.

The Guardian story resurfaced after The New York Times revealed Cambridge Analytica used personal information from 50 million Facebook users to target pro-Trump and anti-Clinton ads during the presidential race. It is not clear if the NRA's campaign also used information from those Facebook profiles. The Herald Group did not immediately respond to Newsweek's request for comment.

1. It is amazing what it took to

bring her down.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. it truly is

She stood strong throughout, too.

Is she the one to lead us back to sanity? Dare we ask?

[Baltimike]

16. I think as more and more trickles out, we will see. nt

2. Of course they are connected.

This is why Mueller is taking so long. So many corrupt groups all working together. The fake pres and everything he has done to get rich by selling our country to Russia is the crime of the century.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. From the outset,

Team Mueller appears to be on a methodical steady pace. Remember,it was 900 days before Nixon was deposed.

Here we are some 400 or so days into a much larger Corruption and Espionage case that is in it's early stage.

[BigmanPigman]

4. I think that technology has been helpful in speeding things up.

Mueller was able to get the records and copies of emails and tweets. A lot of evidence has been obtained really quickly.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. It is the Court System

that has not really sped up. Sure looks like everyone involved thus far,is trying to run the clock as well as work the refs so to speak.

[BigmanPigman]

10. I heard on CNN that Mueller would still like to speak with tRump

and would have to subpoena him. That will take forever. The GOP will drag this out as long as possible using all their dirty tricks that they are very experienced with.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Do think there will come a point

where this is going to happen. Two Bit Donnie will talk himself into it as a trial balloon to same his Kingdom. Remember,he has been down this path in NYC before,only to escape with a fine which he never paid for years until Lien Action was taken.

[BigmanPigman]

12. I know he has gotten away with murder his whole life.

After contractors did their work for him he would refuse to pay them and they couldn't afford the lawyers to take him to court. He most likely thinks he would be able to get away with it still since he is such a narcissist. His lawyers are the ones trying to stop him. Congress may subpoena him too so that will really drag out the investigation after they have the House. You are correct...it is the legal process that will go on and on, possibly saving his ass from being indicted while in office. Two more years of this is going to be Hellish.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. But,in the mean time,

going to focus on our local off year elections and make sure we get progressive persons on our City Council as well as any other special elections coming up.

Sure looks like Team Mueller as well as the Legal Agencies are in this for the long run,and it is all about the reestablishment of the rule of law.

It takes election cycles to fix something that broke because of apathy and bigotry .

[machoneman]

14. True. But I'm still amazed that for years thereafter, new contractors, even after hearing these....

true stories of non-payment still line up to take on Trump's real estate projects! Fools....they deserved to be swindled!

[napi21]

5. I HOPE stories like this finally convince the majority of his followers just how

crooked he & his team really are, and none of what he claims is true!

[Duppers]

6. Will Fox cover it? nt

[Sneederbunk]

7. NRA and CA should be at top of Dem committees list.

8. Hillary was dead-on when she spoke of a 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy'
