Has anyone figured out how Cambridge Analytica turned over to Congress an email from Alexander Nix to Assange about organizing emails if they set emails to destroy at 2 hours? @woodruffbets

TY. Not urgent--just a loose end that might be worth pulling.

I think Congress only has the email Nix sent to a third party, describing his outreach to Assange. That was presumably a non-Proton email. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-data-guru-i-tried-to-team-up-with-julian-assange …pic.twitter.com/A5KpMAzLmp

Great eye if I may say so.

Thanks. It's possible there was later reporting about Congress having a record of the actual communication between Nix and Assange. But I haven't seen it.

The self-destruct feature only work for ProtonMail to ProtonMail exchanges.https://mashable.com/2018/03/20/cambridge-analytica-protonmail-erasing-email/ …

Three guesses 1) there might have been conversations over a non-secure email-initiated by Assange 2)Somebody else had already preserved & given the email to investigators & CA knew it 3) The "self-destruct" thing isn't as immutable as they claim. Mebbe all three.
-
can you elaborate on point nr 3 or point to a link?
-
I'm not specifically knowledgeable, just skeptical of any claims that online stuff is reliably destroyed. (The senders might keep an archive of their sending, despite self destruct of the message,for instance-also heavy data cops with warrants wading in to Proton might have ways)

Perhaps he printed them out.

I hadn’t thought of that. Who knows? It’s a bottomless pit of corruption, lies & deflection,

Maybe they kept duplicates of emails that could incriminate others. For leverage.

The more I hear about CA, the more the dotcom boom comes back to me. Sounds like a Mercer scam: they came up with a bunch of BS to sell to gullible, tech-averse GOPers.

It wasn’t a ProtonMail email that was submitted to congress.

Maybe they had them stored at their near duplicate company Emerdata Limited. A lot of the same players involved, Nix, Mercers, and a DeVos tie in Erik Princehttps://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/975563395062796288 …

I thought the self-destruct emails were only for their fB prey?
