Trump was, in effect, peddling access to his own administration. * Haney hired Cohen to a $150,000-a-month contract, promising a profit share in the nuclear plant if it got built. * Cohen barraged Trump's own appointees at the Department of Energy about Haney's application. — PolitiTweet.org

THE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER: Franklin Haney needed $5 billion in federal loans to finish a nuclear plant. In March 2018, at Mar-a-Lago, he pressed President Trump on his project. Trump waved over his longtime fixer, Michael Cohen. Trump's message to Cohen: https://t.co/ZpzODAWI5R https://t.co/cFK27jRJhZ — PolitiTweet.org

“You could request whatever topic you wanted to talk about — taxes, foreign policy,” Kumar told The Times. Kumar handed POTUS a draft tweet about his cause. Trump looked it over. "Pretty good," he said. Months later, Trump tweeted this: https://t.co/pvrL9aq4uJ — PolitiTweet.org

First up: At a Mar-a-Lago donor roundtable, the Indian-born Illinois industrialist Shalli Kumar pressed Trump on the U.S.'s massive greencard backlog for legal immigrants. Trump's reaction? https://t.co/ZpzODAWI5R https://t.co/J4WJ9JBRmy — PolitiTweet.org

Tax data shows that just 60 customers with interests at stake before the Trump administration brought his family business nearly $12 million in the first two years of his presidency. That is merely *a snapshot* of the special interest money flowing through Trump Org. — PolitiTweet.org

We found over 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments that patronized Trump properties while reaping benefits from him and his administration. Nearly a quarter of those patrons have not been previously reported. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: In part 4 of The President's Taxes, my colleagues and I report on how Trump transplanted Washington's favor-seeking to his family’s hotels & resorts — earning millions as a gatekeeper to his own administration. https://t.co/ZpzODAWI5R — PolitiTweet.org

And that's how the Cambridge story changed the global discussion about tech, privacy, and data, which the industry had largely been able to mute for decades. I wrote a bit about it at the time. https://t.co/Tar7Ru1OQj — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
But the idea that this ecosystem had helped elect Trump, using data the company had gotten off from Facebook users without really asking them, changed that. It's ironic that the tech seemingly didn't work. But the unregulated ecosystem was real. — PolitiTweet.org

Until Cambridge Analytica, in my experience, most people were either unaware of or unconcerned about the voracious data-collection ecosystem built up by Google, Facebook, and the adtech industry. — PolitiTweet.org

As I see it, the @ICOnews report I flagged yesterday goes mostly to the secret sauce part of the story. Like past journalistic investigations, the regulator concluded that CA's secret sauce was mostly branding. But that doesn't change the privacy story. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
It just wasn't at all clear that psychographics worked, or that if it did work, that it worked with any greater effect than traditional microtargeting. But for some, the idea that it not only worked, but was very effective, was an explanation for the success of Brexit and Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
The secret sauce was in question almost from the beginning, not only in stories during the campaign from @politico and others, but afterwards, in 2017, from @adage, @BuzzFeed, and @nytimes. — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
The "secret sauce" story was, basically, had CA developed an extraordinarily effective new voter-persuasion technology using Facebook data? The privacy story was: How did they get their Facebook data in the first place? — PolitiTweet.org
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore
ADDENDUM: There seems to be a lot of misplaced dunking about "Cambridge Analytica was a hoax!", some of it seemingly inspired by this thread. So let's unpack a tiny bit more. To my mind, Cambridge was always two, interrelated stories: 1) Digital privacy 2) "secret sauce" — PolitiTweet.org
