Which Republicans on House Intel might boycott @chrisinsilico hearing? Focusing on potential FECA violations, such as foreign nationals performing data strategy roles in Summer of ‘16, it’s all very bad news for GOP. #CambridgeAnalytica cnn.com/2018/04/19/pol… via @donie
Who is Federica Nocera? Who is Giovanni Doni? (Matt Ozcowski, dir of product pictured center) photo allegedly from summer ‘16 at Project Alamo, San Antonio #CambridgeAnalytica #CambridgeAnalytics
Unconfirmed photo of Project Alamo team.
“We did some tests, and we saw that on average we could move a couple of percentage points towards Trump." - Federica Nocera, former data analyst for Cambridge Analytica, now Microsoft. video.corriere.it/usa-data-analy…?
Translation excerpt from Nocera interview in Italian someone sent me.
Memo to Mercer, Bannon, and Nix warning them how foreign nationals working with data strategy causes FECA and FARA issues. From the Wylie Docs: parliament.uk/business/commi…
Nocera (Cambridge Analytica): «Così abbiamo aiutato Trump a vincere» ilsole24ore.com/art/commenti-e…
🇮🇹 Weird how all the coverage on the woman who help do the data strategy for Trump is IN ITALIAN.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No one is above the law. The Wylie docs changed everything. #CambridgeAnalytica cnn.com/2018/04/19/pol…
Source of #CambridgeAnalytica team photo is Oz’s tweet on election day. How many foreign nationals can you find?
You can see why @CREWcrew probably has a damn good FECA case against #CambridgeAnalytica
Same goes for @CommonCause and their action against #CambridgeAnalytica
Federica Nocera’s LinkedIn page for posterity. All #CambridgeAnalytica LLC employees get paychecks from SCL Elections employees because CA is just a shell. h/t to @Bentelligence
ICYMI: I’m pretty sure that at least two foreign nationals worked on the Trump digital operation in San Antonio under Brad Parscale, which would probably be in violation of federal election laws. Thread up for open source evidence of at least one, Federica Nocera.
A memo prepared by Giuliani’s firm in 2014 for #CambridgeAnalytica owners/execs Rebekah Mercer, Steve Bannon, Alexander Nix explicitly warns them about foreign nationals. It looks like that advice was ignored for Project Alamo during the Summer of 2016.
This company was warned by legal counsel that foreign nationals must not work on campaign data strategy. Ms Nocera’s immigration status seems to be an important legal matter for public consideration.
It is ironic that a campaign built on a divisive nativist appeal would prompt awkward questions about the immigration status of members of its digital campaign team but that’s where we’re at.
Another member of the #CambridgeAnalytica Project Alamo data strategy team merits scrutiny. What is the immigration status of this fine chap? FECA compliant? Awkward. h/t @RealBristolNews angel.co/giovanni-doni
I’m sure Dr Doni and Ms Nocera are gifted data scientists. I’m just not so sure it was legal for them to work on Trump’s data strategy. And SCL Elections is the UK based entity behind the shell corp of #CambridgeAnalytica LLC etc. linkedin.com/in/giovanni-do…
Mercer, Bannon, Nix knew that the data science talent had to be American. They didn’t have it so they cheated and allegedly used data science talent from EU/UK unlawfully. Matters less whether it worked. Definitely matters if it was unlawful.

The election of 2016 was a PSYOP. No, really. nyti.ms/2E6xgmD
Cambridge Analytica and Psy Group had a memorandum of understanding, reported in May. wsj.com/articles/israe…
Fact that Cruz’s Cambridge Analytica appears to have sought to team up with Psy Group, which sought to run a social media PSYOP against Cruz is…awkward.

So many simultaneous Kavanaugh scandals, overloaded the system.
- sexual (how can he deny blackouts?)
- financial (how did he pay off debt?)
- hacking (how can he deny knowing about pilfered docs)
- surveillance (how can he deny his role?)
- perjury (how can he lie about it all?)
- financial scandal: the unexplained mystery of the impossible Kavanaugh family finances is nicely documented and explained here (although I do bristle at how it downplays the sexual scandal; again see above on scandal overload) medium.com/@gregolear/sup…
- hacking and surveillance scandal: this piece by @nycsouthpaw is a twofor in that you get deep coverage on both the surveillance FOIA revelation and the senate hacking scandal context yahoo.com/news/lawsuits-…

Kavanaugh’s toxicity poisons an already reeling Facebook, enraging employees and flummoxing executives. nyti.ms/2CpoSwI
Facebook’s behavioral microtargeting political ad business unit is a moneymaker. They all shouldn’t be surprised when the chickens they hatched come home to roost.
Joel Kaplan was sitting behind Zuckerberg for his Congressional hearings. That too was a rather perjurious affair. (Zuck remains in contempt of UK parliament committee for failing to appear.)

Defence entered a Not Guilty plea this morning in Westminster Magistrate Court. Trial is set for January 2019. #CambridgeAnalytica
It’s a criminal act in the UK to defy the Information Commissioner’s specific order to comply with data protection law. This order is from May 2018 and now we can confirm it will go to trial in the UK next year. wired.com/story/uk-regul…
A “defunct” company sure seems willing to spend its allegedly sparse resources going to trial against the data cops for refusing to hand over all the personal data it collected about me. What are they hiding? Will their creditors tolerate this?

If you’re up for SCOTUS then yeah all your shit is gonna get dredged up. Welcome to the future.
Kavanaugh stands to be the most anti-privacy justice on the bench. His view of the 4th is as warped as his view of the 1st. He’s most likely to rule in favor of a Citizens United-type decision for Silicon Valley, ruling that business surveillance is protected commercial speech.
It’s hard to imagine a future where Kavanaugh is confirmed and we don’t find ourselves, a decade later, in some fucked up dystopia.

I suspect one reason this mega-breach isn’t causing a bigger reaction is that it has no name. Usually hacks and breaches are quickly dubbed something catchy which catapults them thru the coverage and watercooler debates.
Cleverest I can come up is #ChuckE in reference to Chuck E Cheese’s where you get tokens for your birthday parties, in reference to how access tokens were hacked thru exploits in birthday video upload tool. But that’s quite a US-centric reference.
News overload tho
