Bannon, Mercer and Nix ‘were warned’ during campaign that Cambridge Analytica’s practices may violate US law: whistleblower

Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie on Thursday alleged that during the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s former chief campaign strategist Steve Bannon, billionaire Republican donor Rebekah Mercer and Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix were warned that the company’s actions may violate American law.

MSNBC host Ari Melber asked Wylie if he had knowledge of warnings sent to Cambridge Analytica or its officers during his time at the company.

“Yep, absolutely,” Wylie told Melber. “Rudy Giuliani’s law firm actually sent us a memo to Steve Bannon, Rebekah Mercer and Alexander Nix that actually outlined the fact that, in the United States, you can’t run campaigns with foreign citizens who are not permanent residents.”

“The company was warned that Alexander Nix should recuse himself of substantive management duties in the company as CEO and they are also warned that the company shouldn’t be sending foreign citizens to go and run American campaigns,” Wylie said. “But that was completely disregarded.”

3. To which they replied:

"Then we'll just have to take extra care not to get caught!"

4. Hope Rudy is on Mueller's radar. Especially regarding the rogue FBI agents in NYC who

were so eager to bring down Clinton. But it would also be very fitting if his knowledge of Cambridge Analytica could help take out the monster he helped create.

5. Where in the world is ghouliani?

Haven't heard a peep from him in months....holed up in one of Mueller's safe houses spilling his guts??

[deurbano]

11. I've been wondering that, too. He did recently "rise from his coffin" briefly in order to

display his usual repulsiveness:

6. Laws??? Laws??? We don't need no stinkin laws!!!

[herding cats]

8. Mueller is never going to be able to finish this investigation.

It just keeps being added to more and more every day.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Actually, I think that's the Trump team's plan.

Just keep buying time. Trump has been doing this since the early 70s.

12. Trump has admitted being protected by complexity of his business entanglements

He has bragged about his business being so complicated that investigators were never able to determine what was involved in his dealings because of the over 500 separate LLC's in his name where he has a different company for each of his projects and moves funds around. NY investigators have alleged he kept different sets of books in case of inquiries to throw them off getting to bottom of his finances and actions and by stalling and delaying providing records, the investigations eventually fizzled out.

10. What did Rudy Giuliani know and when did he know it?

That rat-f-cker!

LOCK HIM UP!

13. When I heard this interview I was saying "Holy shit!"...

THEN I heard that Bolton was chosen to head the NSA ...AND the lawyer quit ...AND the stock market fell 700 points. How many "Holy Shits" can a person have within 1 hour? I want off this ride NOW!

14. BINGO!
