Last night, @AP reported 180-page legal complaint filed by non-partisan Campaign Legal Center.
It claims Cambridge Analytica facilitated illegal co-ordination between Trump & PACs. 757 pages of internal CA docs were also released

Everything about this story is hard to follow. But here& #39;s what you need to understand: AIQ is company at the heart of Brexit. Found by Cummings. Used by 4 different campaigns. Who by law not allowed to co-ordinate. (Though we know at least 2 of them did - Vote Leave & BeLeave)
Last week, @iconews told DCMS committee & #39;AIQ has consistently denied have a closer relationship beyond that between a software developer & their client& #39;. And that all work was & #39;conducted with SCL & not CA& #39;.
These docs - which @iconews has - flatly contradict this

To understand context of this, you need to read this by campaign finance expert @brendan_fischer of Campaign Legal Center. It has done painstakingly detailed work to untangle illegal co-ordination at heart of Mercer& #39;s distributed empire & Trump campaign https://campaignlegal.org/update/newly-published-cambridge-analytica-documents-show-unlawful-support-trump-2016">https://campaignlegal.org/update/ne...
But before we get to this, we need to disentangle what happened last week. A blogpost by an @FT journalist who& #39;d never previously reported on Cambridge Analytica set off a cascade of & #39;conspiracy theory!& #39; articles by the usual suspects...
I suspect the journalist doesn& #39;t even know about work Cambridge Analytica did for @FT. Certainly she doesn& #39;t note it. But here, you can see this CA employee boasting about the & #39;good work& #39; it did for @FT. And in same email, admitting freely CA used psychographics for Trump
In these docs are contracts where CA explicitly says it retains clients& #39; data. And it seems fair @khalafroula to understand exactly what this was. In these docs are contracts where CA explicitly states it retains clients& #39; data. And then used it in its political work. Was @FT& #39;s?
At very least, it& #39;s surely simply good journalistic practice that this conflict should have been noted in an article that has been used to whack entire Cambridge Analytica investigation, @khalafroula ?
And who was the first person to leap on @FT article & feast upon it? Why @afneil of course. Could @afneil have any undeclared interests in this story revealed by these new docs??
Uh oh. Look who& #39;s there on the launch night of LeaveEU, @afneil. With Banks, Farage & Cambridge Analytica. Why...it& #39;s only the Barclay Brothers!
Or as we know them - @afneil& #39;s boss. Did you know this @afneil? Have you ever asked them about their involvement?? You going to now??

This is just one of dozens of stories by @spectator
And we know now, its owners the Barclay Bros - who also employ Dominic Cummings& #39; wife - were at private briefing dinner arranged by Cambridge Analytica & LeaveEU.
Will @afneil bring that famous & #39;forensic& #39; eye to bear on this?

Whatever else it is, it& #39;s embarrassing @afneil.
You& #39;ve attacked me personally & @observeruk& #39;s journalism. Your magazine @spectator has run story after claiming it& #39;s a & #39;conspiracy theory& #39;
Well, if it is. It& #39;s one with your bosses - the Barclay Bros - at centre of it since day 1

There& #39;s so much more in here. But I need fresh air & sunlight. (As this entire story does). But these docs - released far far too late - clarify a lot.
Not least the relation between LeaveEU-UKIP-CA-Bannon. And the data sharing between them.

Final note. @roulakhalaf, FT did such superb reporting on Wirecard. Key thing @FD grasped was that it was not a normal company. UK press has failed to understand: Cambridge Analytica was not a normal company. It& #39;s so fundamental to understanding entire story. Ask @profcarroll
Cambridge was not a normal company.
