Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Wait. We're shocked that people employ former MI6 officers to find all the dirt on a candidate and release it at the right moment? We're suggesting that's unique to Cambridge Analytica?

        If you could cut out all the knee-jerk contrarianism and snark, your stuff would stand out better on its merits.

        Thanks. I think "the knee-jerk contrarianism and snark" is actually a useful way to get people to examine their own unexamined biases.

        Did you watch the video of Nix himself suggesting that they bring some Ukrainian girls and tape the opponent in a compromising position or have someone pose as a developer and offer a donation in exchange for a land deal?

        We are shocked that you seem to be underplaying the difference between oppo research and entrapment as the above tweet seems to airbrush the entrapment angle out of existence.

        Again, you keep inventing that. If you're unwilling to lay down what standards you believe politicians should abide by, we can move on.

        Marcy, you've got the @CamAnalytica CEO offering this stuff on camera, and then in post-production official statements, the company claiming it was offered to tease out the corrupt intent of the client. One can only see this as an impetus for official investigations to follow.

        Great! By all means, let's do so (there's already an investigation that CA is a subject in, btw).

        Exactly. And now the CEO on cam admitting to crimes.

        There’s a difference between finding and creating faux dirt. Right?

        Isn't the *entrapment* part of qualitatively different? As are the fake identity offerings?

        No, but your fallaciously broadening an argument to the ridiculous extreme. "Wait, we're criticizing a human for doing something that other humans do? That doesn't sound fair." Be spacific when you think you're going to make a point.
