Zuckerberg Confirms Facebook Is Working with Robert Mueller’s Investigation
Breitbart ^ | April 10, 2018 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 04/11/2018 8:35:24 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday confirmed that Facebook is working with the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

The revelation came during Zuckerberg’s appearance in front of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee joint hearing on Facebook.

Asked by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) whether the special counsel team had subpoenaed Facebook, he responded, “I actually am not aware of — of a subpoena. I believe that there may be, but I know we’re working with them.”

During the more than five-hour hearing, Democrats sought to cast blame on Facebook for allowing Cambridge Analytica to possibly influence the campaign.

Cambridge Analytica is a political data firm the Trump campaign hired to target audiences with campaign ads. A Russian-American psychology professor at the university built an app that would harvest data for Cambridge Analytica. Facebook was allegedly told it was for a research project, not to be monetized and given to a firm.

The app may have harvested as many as 87 million Facebook users’ data, although the numbers are unclear.

Klobuchar also tried to draw a link between Cambridge Analytica and Trump’s win, asking what states those potentially targeted lived in.

Zuckerberg said he did not have the information with him, but he could follow up with her office.

“OK, because as we know, that election was close, and it was only thousands of votes in certain states,” she said.

“Senator, we’re investigating that now. We believe that it is entirely possible that there will be a connection there,” he said.

NO MENTION of Hussein using Cambridge Analytical, wonder why. Not really.

Too much power against Trump. Trump will face impeachment. With the loss of much Republican RINOs it looks bad.

Plus, collusion is not a crime. So there’s that. But facts are stupid so let’s not use them.

Mueller is doing everything, breaking every law possible to get Trump to fire him. We all know that should Trump actually do that, he would eventually be impeached for dumping the “special counsel”. As the author of “The Art Of The Deal”, Trump is not taking the bait. Mueller has a life time career leading the out of control group of demodummies picked for that witch hunt. Who will/can stop them?

blame on Facebook for allowing Cambridge Analytica to possibly influence the campaign.
You want to know what influenced the campaign in the 2016 election? The fact that one candidate, Hillary Clinton is a lying, corrupt, criminal, POS. Beyond that there was nothing that anyone could do or say that would have influenced my vote in that election.

Same reason Hillary was not put UNDER OATH during her testimony.

Its a brief case full of jump-drives holding all the Cambridge meta-data.

Just in case a Senator wants to buy a few jumps.

Meaning that FB has better ways of snooping on people than law enforcement, and that FB will not be accused of violating the accused’s “rights,” while law enforcement would be, and the case thrown out.
