Didn't Cambridge Analytica disband and the people involved reorganized under a different name?

It's not only the FBI investigation. DOJ is investigating CA too.

Trump's going to be upset.

"Prosecutors have questioned potential witnesses in recent weeks, telling them that there is an open investigation into Cambridge Analytica — which worked on President Trump’s election and other Republican campaigns in 2016 — and “associated U.S. persons.” But the prosecutors provided few other details, and the inquiry appears to be in its early stages, with investigators seeking an overview of the company and its business practices."

Looks like they'll once again decide what the crime was after they find something they can call a crime.

He owned an interest (who knows how much) and yes he was involved in some of the work it did--he would say not ver involved--Rebecca Mercer was technically more involved according to some stories but Bannon was involved and involved before he became Trump's campaign manager--he was doing CA in 2015 I think

In part of the investigation of the money Cohen was sending to the Korean company in California--someone tweeted that Bannon's office and Cambridge Analytica in Los Angeles used the same address
In same building that Richardson(?) the first attorney Daniels/Clifford used had an office in same bldg as Bannon...
Small world...

No I think Bannon was brought on later--
CA was created by another UK company that Mercer owned interest in that did basically same thing--
And yes
The people who created CA have closed it and gone to another one

Same type of pump and dump that con men have done with regularity when they are caught and need to close down...
Hopefully the DoJ/FBI and the U.K. Investigators got there soon enough to get records...
