. . . . doing the campaign's internal polling. They were the company that they said predicted the win while all other media were still giving it to Clinton.

And yes. RUSSIAN ties.

David Magerman, a senior employee at Renaissance Technologies, the Robert Mercer hedge fund, published an op-ed in the Philadelphia Enquirer after a spat with his boss. He accused Mercer of 'effectively buying shares in the candidate, warning: 'Robert Mercer now owns a sizeable share of the United States Presidency.'
The Post called the Mercers 'arguably the most influential financiers of the Trump era.'

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, will remain the beneficiaries of a sprawling real estate and investment business still worth as much as $741 million, despite their new government responsibilities, according to ethics filings released by the White House Friday night.

Ms. Trump will also maintain a stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The hotel, just down the street from the White House, has drawn protests from ethics experts who worry that foreign governments or special interests could stay there in order to curry favor with the administration.
...

The disclosures were part of a broad, Friday-night document release by the White House that exposed the assets of as many as 180 senior officials to public scrutiny. The reports showed the assets and wealth of senior staff members at the time they entered government service.

Those disclosures included the assets of Gary D. Cohn, the former president of Goldman Sachs who now leads the National Economic Council, and Stephen K. Bannon, the chief strategist to the president.

Mr. Bannon disclosed $191,000 in consulting fees he earned from Breitbart News Network, the conservative media organization, $125,333 from Cambridge Analytica, a data firm that worked for the Trump campaign, and $61,539 in salary from the Government Accountability Institute, a conservative nonprofit organization. All three are backed by Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, financiers and major Republican donors.
