Cambridge Analytica. Haven't heard that one in awhile, huh? Below the radar we have NO IDEA how much is still alive out there. Remember a judge just yesterday, no doubt because of all the EXPLODING UKRAINE shit pushed back a date for TRUMP's attorneys have frantically been trying to rebuff as to him sitting for a deposition. To date this NY judge ain't taking no shit and not taking no for answer.
