Alleging breaking of financing rules by the Trump campaign because…
- Steve Bannon on board of CA
- Steve Bannon Trump Campaign strategist
- CA claim to have masterminded the Trump campaign
- CA financed by billionaires the Mercers (and on board of CA)
- Trump campaign financed by billionaires the Mercers
- Pro-Trump/Anti-Clinton adds made by CA, funded by Mercers outside of declared spending via “make america number 1” Super-PAC
…a Super-Pac which claimed they are “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee”. Sounds reasonable.
Alexander Nix has now been suspended. Facebook being investigated by the FTC. UK’s Information Commissioner applying for warrant to search London offices of CA.
