(21,846 posts)Wiki says he was the digital director of the Trump campaign.
I thought Jared did the digital stuff. What did each of them do?

(9,974 posts)Both were involved in, according to Parscale, "convincing/teaching" Trump about the importance of data centered campaigning/advertising. And if anyone believes that Trump was "learning" that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Jared was described as overseeing the data arm of the campaign while Parscale/his company/Cambridge Analytica did the actual hands on data stuff. So Jared cannot say he didn't know what was going on data wise...it will be interesting to see what the Feds have uncovered data/money transfer wise and who throws who under the bus here when it comes to Kushner/Parscale.

(9,974 posts)Which up until the above article everything I've read only referred to him/his business as being in San Antonio (Project Alamo). This has him in "mostly" in TT. While the nerve center/workers of PA remained in TX alongside the team of a dozen Cambridge Analytica workers that were sent to TX.
If he was "mostly" in TT, he was in the heart of the data situation in TT and can't say "oh, I was in San Antonio so I have no idea what was going on in NYC)

(9,974 posts)Too many damn coinkydinks related to the June meeting and the data arm of the campaign.
Jared's role in the meeting is just ONE thing he has to worry about. He was neck deep in the data portion of it all...
