"I found Bannon's tools. Federal authorities have it all now." [View all]

In today’s holy shit moment. This cyber security firm shows how Cambridge Analytica data (data on millions of Americans) was left exposed and downloadable (think Russia.)

I found Bannon's tools.
Facebook ad tools, scrapers, targeting scripts, etc.
Federal authorities have it all now.
Smoking gun evidence involving foreign influence in US elections.
Reports going up momentarily at:
