The story of McConnell/Carson/Gingrich campaigns and Russian servers? It's worse! [View all]

First there was this: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212350775

Now this:



Devin Nunes' Mom's Son Devin
@visionsurreal
On 1/24/17, a citizen filed a complaint against Ben Carson's super PAC and its "National Digitial Director," Ron Robinson.

The citizen was under the impression they were donating to Ben Carson's campaign when, in fact, they weren't.

And...

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1158574600445411328.html
The super PAC went thru several name changes:

National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee -> The 2016 Committee -> Stars and Stripes Forever PAC

🔥The most explosive finding here is the last footnote here... that, by the time the citizen received an e-mail from the Carson PAC on 9/16/15, the PAC already reported 11,000 itemized donations!

This means Robinson had e-mails and personal info of up to at least 11,000 people!

Lastly, Ben Carson's "authorized committee," Carson America, used the PAC's "email list on a rental basis," which explains why they sent an email to the citizen on 11/16/15.

This proves Robinson's PAC collected info on its donors and rented their donor/email list out to Carson!

And, to drive it all home again, Ron Robinson worked with Yandex (Russia's "Google&quot , cryptocurrency, and set up email servers for his clients to bypass @NSAGov and to be "subpoena resistant."

McConnell & Gingrich are also alleged clients of his!

Here it is.
This site is owned/run by a leading GOP digital operative. He runs systems on servers physically located in Russia, and advertised it.
Mitch McConnell is a client. Ben Carson is a client. Gingrich is a client. And many more.

16.8K people are talking about this

Keep in mind:

Robinson had "over 100" GOP clients, so he would have data on more than 11,000 people.

Above is solid documentation filed w/ the FEC that would support 11,000 at a minimum... but this is only for Carson's PAC and only prior to Sep 2015.
