The headlines were about Facebook admitting it had sold ad space to Russian groups trying to sway the 2016 presidential campaign. But investigators shrugged: they’d known or assumed for months that Facebook, as well as Twitter and other social-media platforms, were a tool used in the Kremlin’s campaign. “The only thing that’s surprising is that more revelations like this haven’t come out sooner,” said Congressman Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat and a member of the House Intelligence Committee. “And I expect that more will.”

Mapping the full Russian propaganda effort is important. Yet investigators in the House, Senate, and special counsel Robert Mueller’s office are equally focused on a more explosive question: did any Americans help target the memes and fake news to crucial swing districts and wavering voter demographics? “By Americans, you mean, like, the Trump campaign?” a source close to one of the investigations said with a dark laugh. Indeed: probers are intrigued by the role of Jared Kushner, the now-president’s son-in-law, who eagerly took credit for crafting the Trump campaign’s online efforts in a rare interview right after the 2016 election. “I called somebody who works for one of the technology companies that I work with, and I had them give me a tutorial on how to use Facebook micro-targeting,” Kushner told Steven Bertoni of Forbes. “We brought in Cambridge Analytica. I called some of my friends from Silicon Valley who were some of the best digital marketers in the world. And I asked them how to scale this stuff . . . We basically had to build a $400 million operation with 1,500 people operating in 50 states, in five months to then be taken apart. We started really from scratch.”

Kushner’s chat with Forbes has provided a veritable bakery’s worth of investigatory bread crumbs to follow. Brad Parscale, who Kushner hired to run the campaign’s San Antonio-based Internet operation, has agreed to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee.

1. That idea has been floated before.

The arrows are pointed in that direction.

2. I've been floating it that's for sure ... that Trump Tower server ... talking to Alfa Bank ...

I have this strong feeling that's going to be the 'key' that ties the conspiracy together, and we KNOW Mueller knows about it and may've even gotten hold of it. And an even BETTER possibility ... is it may've even been under surveillance prior to and right after the election. That could be what Cheetoh was talking about with his 'Obama "Wire-Tapped" Trump!' spiel ...

3. Could that be included in Mueller

the next indictment,if not the next one after. My take is this,Trump and the Rethugs went after the Agencies and now the Agencies are rolling them up.

If your hands are dirty,and you come to the table claiming to be clean. Remember,Nixon attacked the Agencies with dirty hands,and we know how that ended. So did Cheney and we know how that ended.
