3/22/18
Christopher Wiley, the whistleblower behind the hidden video sting of Cambridge Analytica says he can prove the Trump campaign digital firm
and Steve Bannon “disregarded” warnings about U.S. laws in 2016 and why “they were completely willing” to do things that were “unlawful.”

Ah, Rachel suggests Trump's Russian matter legal team has morphed, perhaps, to a team put together to run a public relations
effort of Fox News. A new idea, which makes sense knowing the president prick as we do. Image being so important to the Donald.

'Systemic mismanagement': Wall Street analyst rips Facebook apart, saying personnel changes could be on the way
Facebook's spate of recent issues indicates it's exhibiting signs of "systemic mismanagement," according to Brian Wieser, a senior analyst at Pivotal Research.
Analysts' concerns thus far have been mostly limited to rising costs for Facebook and a slowing of digital advertising growth.
But now Wieser is looking at Facebook in a new light, cautioning investors that there may be "operational problems" at the company.
Facebook's stock dropped 9.5% over Monday and Tuesday, wiping out about $50 billion off the company's market capitalization, though it was trading up slightly on Wednesday.

We read the whole report Republicans just released on the House Intel Committee's Russia investigation — here are the main points
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released a report detailing their findings in the panel's Russia investigation.
The report makes several incomplete assertions that seek to distance President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign from allegations of collusion with Moscow.
Republicans also made numerous suggestions to shore up the US's response to Russia's aggression, including ramping up cyber defenses and empowering state and local officials to secure critical election infrastructure.
They also suggested Congress repeal the Logan Act, a centuries-old law that some have speculated may be used to prosecute members of the Trump campaign.
