Questions for journalists and Congress to ask: were the Facebook embeds working with the Trump campaign aware that the campaign or its consultants were using stolen Facebook data?
An amazing story detailing how the Mercers and Cambridge Analytica duped Facebook, mined our personal information, and just maybe colluded with Russia to try to sway the election for Trump. Kudos @nytimes team. https://t.co/2RZLTQifvY

you have to wonder if FB was really duped..esp after seeing Facebook head meeting up with Putin in Russia…i am seriously thinking of deleting my FB account…or is it too late…
ICYMI…this comment yesterday from a 4 star General.
Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.
I hope karma, AND THE LAW, find him sooner rather than later. I can’t wait to dance in the street. What a POS
If you had any doubt about whether the McCabe firing was an act of retribution, here is a flagrant victory dance from the man who ordered the hit. He just couldnāt resist. https://t.co/VLPaeSKuTY
That's a checkmate if there ever was one. I just said earlier this is the first VERY OFFICIAL admission on Trump's par that he is indeed DIRECTLY involved in the matter. #fesso#fessituttiquantihttps://t.co/D9LnauRTKh
OH, YES. This is a major scandal of historic proportions. It involves Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, Brad Pascale and VERY likely the Russian mob. STAY TUNED.
āThis was a scam ā and a fraud,ā Paul Grewal, a vice president and deputy general counsel at the social network, said in a statement to The Times earlier on Friday. Assume we are going to see state AGs moving in here as it is unlikely the US DOJ will do anything. https://t.co/R1vU3B4VoE
BREAKING: New documents tell the inside story of how a Trump-linked data firm obtained private info from more than 50 million Facebook users–and risked breaking US election laws. https://t.co/UAg1Q5t1BG w/@AllMattNYT + @carolecadwalla
In 2014, Cambridge Analyticaās lawyer warned the company that having a non-American CEO and data scientists would risk breaking election laws. Fmr. employees say company ignored the advice. https://t.co/UAg1Q5t1BGpic.twitter.com/WcJA7scmA4
This will go international, ESPECIALLY as it pertains to BREXIT.
The Information Commissioner's Office says it is "investigating circumstances in which Facebook data may have been illegally acquired" for political purposes

@Kay:
I agree with the suggestion that at least part of it is fear that sheāll get the NDA invalidated, and that will encourage everyone else heās ever signed an NDA with to consider if they can get theirs invalidated, too. Heās covered up so many past misdeeds behind NDAs, the risk to him if they donāt hold is incalculable.
If she wins…the damn is broken, and a whole lot will spill forth….
I have been involved in DOJ and FBI disciplinary matters since 1994. I have never before seen the type of rush to judgment ā and rush to summary punishment ā that we have witnessed in the case of Andy McCabe: https://t.co/9XKXoUKqTV
Please RETWEET: It's time for two GOP senators of conscience to announce thatāuntil the present crisis is overāthey will caucus with the Democrats. They can still call themselves Republicans, but at least two *must* announce that the GOP has, for now, forfeited its right to lead.
When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America…America will triumph over you. https://t.co/uKppoDbduj
Yeah, like when the video of you raping an underage girl comes to light, ādisgracedā will be tame word for what history will remember you as, @realDonaldTrump. You & your Kremlin pals wanted a war with the Constitution & those protecting it.
Wow. John Brennan does not usually speak this way. And remember: he has seen the most sensitive classified information on this subject that the rest of us have not (yet) seen. https://t.co/NRekS7XAeG
Unhesitatingly, straight into it …. buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Statement from Andrew McCabeās lawyer, Michael Bromwich: āThis intervention by the White House in the DOJ disciplinary process is unprecedented, deeply unfair, and dangerous.ā pic.twitter.com/mgIMNbItU1
NEW ā Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02) has extended an offer of employment to Andrew McCabe, "so that he can reach the needed length of service after President Trump fired him just days before he was set to retire."
This reckless attitude towards Americansā lives and careers is exactly why this man should not be President. Mr. McCabe, if you need a federal job for a few days, give me a call. We value servant leadership around here.
Andrew McCabe: I have the need to hire a Special Senior Staff Attorney to help me with my work on the House Judiciary Committee dealing with threats to the Constitution and the rule of law in America. You're perfect for the job. DM me.
Parse carefully, America. The terminal liars at @CamAnalytica are using present tense. They did. They got caught. Of course they don't now: there's already going to be hell to pay, and they're running for cover.

This Cambridge Analytica exploit of FB is precisely the reason I got off FB years ago, after studying its developer API. This wasn't a "breach" or a hack. This was using FB's API EXACTLY AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED. The "platform policy" is a fig leaf. https://t.co/wUGV8iNgSm
Mr. President, the Committee reached no such conclusion ā only Republicans. In fact, we did find evidence of collusion, despite GOP members being more interested in protecting you than learning the truth. When accusing others of lying, best not to misrepresent facts yourself. https://t.co/fIuKPGyEN1
The President, through his lawyer, called on DOJ to end Mueller probe. Obstruction of justice is no less a threat to our democracy when done in the open than behind closed doors. Every representative should condemn this flagrant abuse of power or stop pretending devotion to duty. https://t.co/YtwUXeOW23
I interviewed Andrew McCabe during a closed door Judiciary Committee Hearing. You should read his statement below. I believe him.
But even if you disagree, the punishment he is receiving is far out of proportion to his 21 years of service. McCabe will win his appeal. https://t.co/B3DZhETPs7
Statement of Andrew McCabe & the public reporting suggest the issue was that McCabe allegedly gave info to press that damaged Clinton campaign.
That has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation of @realDonaldTrump. John Dowd is showing desperation with his statement below. https://t.co/iOMlW7iWK0
I learned a new word today: abase. It means to degrade, humiliate, cheapen and demean. The @washingtonpost uses that word in the last sentence of this powerful editorial. https://t.co/z94Orsl0JD
Trumpās lawyer threatening Special Counsel with shutdown demands immediate response: Congress must pass pending bipartisan legislation to protect Mueller against political interference.
Reports of NRA funneling secret illegal Russian money to Trump campaign demand full, immediate investigation. NRA should publicly disclose all records. https://t.co/N2GPS2KESU
Message to NRA: Come clean about your alleged acceptance of Russian money for Trump campaign. Did you aid & abet Putinās attack on American democracy? Give us the records.
I just found out that my Carnegie Hall show sold out in a day. I'm in shock. For most of the past year I was convinced that my career was over…I have felt moments of despair that I can't describe in a tweet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…I am so grateful.

MSNBC Brian Williams Friday 16 Mar coverage of my Tweet ref Trump inability to respond to Putin/Russian attacks on US and allied national security. Putin has for some reason controlling sway over the President. Peril.
Analyze McCabe firing on two levels: the substance and the timing. We donāt know enough about the substance yet. The timing appears cruel and a cave that compromised DOJ independence to please an increasingly erratic President who shouldāve played no role here. This is dangerous

Please help circulate: while it is a kind gesture, there is no "gofundme" or other crowdfunding account for Andrew McCabe. Because of the outpouring of support, we are exploring potential options for a legal defense fund. More to come.
Election officials in 33 states have told the Brennan Center they must replace their systems by 2020, but lack the funds to do so. https://t.co/8gDkZsvpNB
To all my republican friends who think they can sit out the Trump era and hope for great SCOTUS picks, your time is up. Trump is a disgrace who is debasing the office. You whisper it off the record and you email me your disgust. Time to stand up+speak out https://t.co/QiWkQK8Y6v
THREAD. As usual, @brithume has zero idea what he's talking about. To understand why many agents, and indeed even the FBI Agents Association *which is non partisan) have issues with this, you have to understand an OPR in the FBI. The bar for "misconduct" is very low. https://t.co/j1UkesRoVb
1/ Minutes ago, the Associated Press reported that Andrew McCabe wrote memos memorializing his conversations with Trump shortly after they occurred. McCabe was the former FBI Deputy Director (and Acting Director) who was fired by Trump late last night.
Facebook breach: This is a major breach that must be investigated. Itās clear these platforms canāt police themselves. I've called for more transparency & accountability for online political ads. They say ātrust us.ā Mark Zuckerberg needs to testify before Senate Judiciary.
