It is funny! Funny that you think Fox has so much power that having only 23% of the American news audience they can convince the American public of their views AND put words in the mouth of the former FBI assistant director.
And that proves what? I can bet a lot of conservatives are buying it to see how he rationalizes being one of the most incompetent FBI directors on record.
1. James Kallstrom was the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI office in New York.
2. Kallstrom is a friend of Trump and a Trump supporter endorsing and campaigning for Trump.
3. Kallstrom is a good friend of Rudy Giuliani.
4. Rudy Giuliani was one of Trump’s main campaign surrogates.
5. Kallstrom was an often Trump Surrogate on Fox News.
6. Trump gave $1.3 million to Kallstrom’s Foundation (much of it was given last year).
7. Kallstrom was a member of the Trump campaign team.
8. Kallestrom’s Foundation has not been rated or reviewed by Charity Watch or Charity Navigator for whether it is a legitimate charity Foundation.
9. Trump allegedly raised an additional $6 million for Kallstrom’s Foundation from wealthy donors.
10. Kallstrom’s Foundation gave Trump the “Commandant’s Leadership Award” at a Gala in New York last year.
11. Rush Limbaugh is one of the Director’s of Kallstrom’s Foundation as well as a donor.
12. Trump skipped the GOP debate in Iowa to attend Kallstrom’s fundraiser for his Foundation in New York last year.
13. Kallstrom and Giuliani were on an anti-Comey attack on Fox News for months.
14. Giuliani’s security firms employ the former head of the New York FBI office as well as another former FBI official from the New York office.
15. The Trump campaign, Kallstrom, and Giuliani were purportedly pushing the New York FBI to investigate Clinton based on alt-right wing conspiracy theories and The Clinton Cash book which its own author has said it was not meant to withstand legal scrutiny.
16. The so-called FBI leaks appear to be all coming out of the New York office and through Giuliani and Kallstrom who were trying to rig the election with false FBI reports.
17. It appears that Trump, Giuliani and Kallstrom were using their ties to the New York FBI office to have them go after their political opponent.
And that proves what? I can bet a lot of conservatives are buying it to see how he rationalizes being one of the most incompetent FBI directors on record.
I suppose those cons will also be buying McCabe’s book when it comes out. Lol!
Ya, anyone who follows Twitter knows all about and we all know that's where lib so-called journalists get the news they write.
But in the real world.....The case shows how widely data can spread without consumers' knowledge
The data apparently was collected through one of those quizzes that can seem to colonize users' Facebook feeds. In this case, it was a personality quiz called "thisisyourdigitallife," devised by Aleksandr Kogan, a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge.
Only about 270,000 people actually took the quiz after logging in with their Facebook credentials, but that opened the door to the collection of data about many of their Facebook friends.
Facebook quizzes can be fun, but they are also an open door for companies to learn about you. The privacy policy for one popular quiz company says that logging into Facebook to use the app gives the company permisson to see your "name, profile picture, gender, birthday, internet protocol (IP) address, Facebook friends list, Facebook images, email, location, Facebook posts or any other data as delineated at the message presented to you at the time of login with Facebook."
As Consumer Reports has noted before, such quizzes and other services may not cost consumers money, but you do pay with personal information that can be used, often in combination with data from other companies, to generate revenue from advertising.
Who is most likely to participate in these quizzes?
More from Consumer Reports It just proves how pathetic and gullible libs are because they are incapable of critical thinking. Thank our school systems for that.
The data acquired by Cambridge Analytica could have been used to create "psychographic" profiles of Americans that could be combined with information on where they lived to target political messages, according to the New York Times reporting. However, the company says the data was not used on behalf of the Trump campaign.
And that is now supported by not only CR, but CBS.
Cambridge Analytica says it was misled about where the data originated. “In 2014, we contracted a company led by a seemingly reputable academic at an internationally-renowned institution to undertake a large scale research project in the United States,” a company statement says. This was Kogan’s company, Global Science Research, which was based in the U.K. and dissolved Oct. 31, 2017, according to the British government registrar of companies.
The statement says that when Cambridge Analytica learned where the data originated, it was deleted. “No data from GSR was used by Cambridge Analytica as part of the services it provided to the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign,” the statement says.
Again, supported by a CBS report.
CBS: The Trump campaign never used the psychographic data at the heart of a whistleblower who once worked to help acquire the data's reporting -- principally because it was relatively new and of suspect quality and value.

I'm not on FB but I do see friends and family that do them. They're so stupid. Actually, much of FB is stupid which is why I'm not on it much. People are dropping it because it's no longer just pictures of Aunt Betty's cat but too many newsfeeds, political garbage etc. Now FB has questions to answer about user information. If I owned stock I'd be selling.
Why did Trump Jr's wife hire a criminal attorney? Maybe because some nutcase just sent her a letter full of white powder??? And who sent her that white powder? A nutcase liberal from Massachusetts.
Why would you hire a criminal attorney if you are the VICTIM of a crime? you don't. You also don't hire one for a divorce.
By all accounts they have been living separately for six months. A threat to her life (even though it wasn't actually a threat) was the final straw for her. He's giving her everything she wants in a quickie divorce because she knows where the bodies are buried. She hired a criminal attorney to make sure she doesn't get dragged down into the mire with the Trump family.

Update on March 17, 2018, 9:50 AM: The claim that this is a data breach is completely false. Aleksandr Kogan requested and gained access to information from users who chose to sign up to his app, and everyone involved gave their consent. People knowingly provided their information, no systems were infiltrated, and no passwords or sensitive pieces of information were stolen or hacked.
