I thought this data on 200 million Americans sounded familiar. It’s all in Week 32 of The Weekly List. And the RNC and Johnny DeStafano are behind it. It may be why Parscale tried to take His life.

Gizmodo reported the data leak contains detailed personal information on about 61% of the US population — including address, birthday, party registrations and views on issues for almost all registered voters.

The RNC paid Deep Root $983k in 2016, but much of the data leaked came from The Data Trust, the GOP’s primary voter file provider. The RNC paid The Data Trust $6.7mm during the 2016 election cycle.

The president of The Data Trust was Johnny DeStefano, who is now in head of personnel for Trump.

If these are the same lists that were used to influence the 2016 election and suppress the turnout of Black voters, this ties right back to the RNC being part of the scheme.
