About Senator Burr
.@SenatorBurr was re-elected with the support of the John Bolton super PAC, whose largest donor was Robert Mercer. Bolton's super PAC used Cambridge Analytica in 2016, and Burr's "big data" guy then was Paul Shumaker, a protege of Arthur Finkelstein. Might be worth a dig, folks.

The John Bolton super PAC used Cambridge Analytica and spent "about $341,000 in 2014 and $811,000 in the 2016 cycle. The PAC supported several candidates in several states, including both Tillis and Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in North Carolina."
