“This constituted an act of unprecedented treachery: the campaign of a nominee for President of the United States in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the presidency,” DNC Tom Perez on filing of DNC lawsuit.

Brad Parscale despite being catapulted to manager of the perpetual 2020 Trump campaign from his position less than a decade back of having been a "Kinko's-based" Texas freelance programmer cum novice website designer for the Trump Organization and members thereof for various projects until abruptly one day he was enlisted further ostensibly to "direct" the Kushner 2016 Trump digital operation with Parscale in fact at least apparently having then headed the unpublicized Trump Digital Team San Antonio stealth ("Project Alamo") social media data operation where employees including those onsite provided by Facebook, Google and (likely illegally non-US Cambridge Analytica employees) oversaw, participated in and/or witnessed any likely nexus of voter digital data transfer including "psychometric" targeting advertising and other data between the Trump campaign and the Russia GRU although in his spectacular rise from freelancer on the streets of Texas to designated Trump perpetual 2020 campaign manager Mr. Parscale is not known also to have received legal training or been licensed to practice law.

Nevertheless Mr. Parscale in his new capacity as manager of the perpetual Trump campaign (another likely Trump money laundering and slushfund tax evasion operation presumably much like Trump's unaccounted excess largest massive funds "tributes" from the "smallest presidential inauguration in U.S. history" and Trump's  closed down but not-yet-permitted to be dissolved due to law enforcement concerns so-called "charitable organization" to himself) was in his new position left to issue on the Trump perpetual campaign's behalf a statement in which Parscale tech geek magically cum press spokesman characterized the DNC lawsuit filed against top Trump campaign members, Russian government and Russian GRU, Wikileaks, Julian Assange and others as the product Parscale explained of Democratic dire financial ruin due largely to fleeing donors as to which Parscale (although presumably not still reading Democrats' stolen emails) attests and should know as to the extent any donor loss is true it is because of the Trump campaign and its Russian buddies and Wikileaks making Democratic donors concerned about the security of their private information with the DNC.

According to Parscale financially motivated Democrats (apparently still with enough money to afford some fairly decent lawyers for a not necessarily small matter litigated against the alleged Trump-Russia conspirators) filed the lawsuit including for compensatory as well as  punitive damages in their alleged financial desperation on 20 April 2018 in NY federal district court as a predicate to which statement Mr. Parscale presumably read and analyzed the Democrats' lengthy court filing complaint at a record pace so that on behalf of the perpetual Trump campaign its new manager Parscale was deemed qualified nearly immediately to deliver his statement of legal prognostication handily dismissing the lawsuit presumably on the basis of his IT knowledge and concluding according to The Washington Post with his assessment that the Democrats’ lawsuit was "without merit" further predicting presumably based on Parscale's lack of legal training and analysis that it was "likely to be dismissed."

Parscale's predicted result would be opposite to that in the somewhat analogous matter of the DNC's lawsuit against Republicans related to the Watergate DNC headquarters break-in which only on the 1974 day Richard Nixon permanently exited the White House was concluded by an RNC $750,000 settlement payment to the DNC.

UPDATES to 21 April 2018 - EDITED REPUBLICATION

       Wednesday, 21 March 2018, NEW YORK/LONDON  UPDATES Wednesday, 11 October 2017, SAN ANTONIO, TX UPDATES Thursday, 22 June 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Republican massive online all parties' voter information leak first referenced above from an unsecured database reportedly exposed complete personal hard information as well as extensive data analytics extrapolated personal updated information for virtually every American voter which in light of now further known information regarding the Trump 2016 campaign digital operation conceivably may have been an intentional plausible deniability "cover" should this data appear at some point in suspiciously inappropriate databases had it been provided to the Russian FSB and military intelligence GRU as well as the Moscow "Internet Research Center" troll farm and collaborating Russian criminal hackers during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
       This data analytics is the same information likely previously weaponized in coordination with Trump later senior White House advisers prime national security risk Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon using the newly formed Cambridge Analytica data analytics which U.S. shell company (to support the appearance that its U.S. election campaign work was not being done by foreigners in violation of U.S. election law) Steve Bannon named and invested in as well as served as a board member along with Rebekah Mercer whose father Robert Mercer through a "convoluted corporate structure" owned almost entirely due to his $15 million investment in it structured through a joint venture with London-based SCL Group elections division which in fact serviced Cambridge Analytica (all detailed in the second up link from the foot of this post New York Times article) potentially to coordinate the Trump "Digital Operation" with ostensible Director Brad Parscale knowingly or unknowingly enabling Trump knowingly unlawfully to coordinate with Russia State authorized multi-pronged targeted election illegal interference to attain an illegitimately Trump "victory" in the 2016 presidential election through precise "psychgraphic" microtargeting including by Russian parties and/or their assistance including possibly using stolen hacked voter information as well as more recently revealed Facebook wrongly obtained user information of an estimated 50 million Facebook users in order for Trump ostensibly  to "win" the presidential election by an unlawfully microtargeted electoral college victory even while still losing the popular vote by more than 3 million votes despite apparent heavily significant foreign assistance both to assist his campaign and unlawfully damage his opponent Hillary Clinton's campaign.
       The Trump electoral college strategy originally was opposed by the broadly ignorant con man Trump until he was convinced by others principally led by Jared Kushner that the vestigial slave era constitutional construct today could greatly favor Trump running as a "populist of the people" falsely courting the greatly disproportionately overly weighted typically Republican more rural less educated state voters particularly when properly manipulated in other words perfectly vulnerable to Trump's one true area of expertise -- fraud (as well boosted by some related vote count enhancing illegal methods).





The White House advisers Stephen K. Bannon and Kellyanne Conway with Ms. Mercer at the 2017 inauguration. The firm helped the Trump campaign target voters.
       By fraudulently presenting himself as a champion of the "working man" Trump schemed to get the least votes necessary to win exploiting these voters and their hunger for change after decades of wage stagnation only to later relentlessly pound them down with an endless series of governmental assaults on nearly every aspect of their already meager standard of living. And so those that got Trump elected did so as he used the circumstance of the vestigial but still controlling U.S. electoral college sharply under weighing the presidential votes of mostly coastal urban state more highly educated largely Democratic voters who were all too familiar with Trump's legendary hard-earned and well-deserved reputation as a leading U.S. con man who somehow managed to keep scraping by as dubious but welcome business opportunities again opened up to him while somehow the gates of prison did not.
       He apparently remains unable to bear the fact that in Trump's case even assuming additional vast unlawful Russia pro-Trump election multi-pronged U.S. election interference likely with unlawful Cambridge Analytics microtargeting and other coordination with illegal Russian cohorts as well as quite possibly incorporating RNC data analytics into the conspiracy still Trump was able only to win a much lower absolute number of American popular votes to achieve his "election" with more than three million votes less than his opponent Democrat Hillary Clinton who also had long been under unlawful attack by an array of Russians under Putin's direction regardless of what Trump has since found it necessary to believe in order to maintain what to date given GOP unconscionable inaction to remove Trump must pass as his "sanity".
        The supposed reasoning for Trump's continuing denial of Russian interference has not been coherently addressed by him presumably in his ongoing attempts to obstruct discovery of Trump's likely treason under 18 U.S.C. 2381 or more readily provable criminal conspiracies, obstructions of justice and so on probably arising from the same essential facts. Another obvious motivation given the Trump administration's complete ethical void for its overt lack of any defensive preparation for the 2018 U.S. interim elections would clearly be because although known to be continuing actual or constructive coordination in his likely treasonous relationship with Russia it would be consistent with Trump's assumption that any unlawful Russian interference will be to his benefit just as in 2016 extending in 2018 to those whose election Trump supports because of the only reason of any significance to him being that they might be expected to help delay the ultimate day of reckoning on earth which awaits.
       Although no Republican lawmaker has told Trump unequivocally and consistently the above even at the expense of any remaining integrity they have been willing to exploit his likely vast criminal acts for their own corrupt personal interests betting they can jump off his train of destruction at the last possible moment before he and all his crew of criminal co-conspirators slam head on into the harsh reality of rightful destiny that dreadful fate long ago well-earned by the repulsive Trump .
       Trump rightly after all the lies are stripped away long has been known by the American people to be a lifelong lowlife lying deadbeat loser taught the life and business absolute lack of values other than purely selfish expedience of his father a convicted Nazi sympathizer mobster Trump himself also a documented boastful admitted criminal sexual predatory assaulter. That those shameful Republican sycophants know deep inside that the great American travesty of 2016 was that mobster Trump never should have nor could have won the presidential election fairly in a million years regardless of what anyone may tell him to assuage his gnawing insecurity without the vast criminal interference of an entire additional hostile nation on his behalf regardless of which in any case it remains axiomatic that mobster Trump must perhaps sooner but if not later be doomed in his criminal conspiracy and cover-up be bound to repeat the absolute worst that history teaches as all history in Trump's case is history never learned.
       Back to the details at hand after the above diversions from an earlier publication of this post the exposed data described above is the largest leak ever of voLter information in the history of this or any other country. Johnny Stefano was head of Data Trust (aka GOP Data Trust) which reportedly performed the mfain Republican National Committee ("RNC") data analytics for the 2016 election and was one of at least three firms whose data was combined the other two being Deep Root Analytics and TargetPoint, Inc. on the RNC voter database found unsecured on the internet by U.S. cybersecurity firm UpGuard of the 198 million voters' information updated with a post-election version of the data at least up through the Trump presidential inauguration. Trump Digital Team leaders have said that micortargeting data propelling Mr. Trump to election was provided by San Antonio on-site Cambridge Analytica supplying "psychometric" / microtargeting data to be used in ad placement with the help of on-site assistance of embedded Facebook, Google and Twitter representatives made available because of the large amounts they were paid by the Trump campaign and to whom the Digital Team credits Mr. Trump's victory. Mr. Stefano has since left GOP Data Trust for his current position serving as White House Director of Personnel for the Trump administration. Readers interested in more detailed information can go to the first link below.
       UPDATE to 27 February 2018 Texas-based Brad Parscale "Trump's secret weapon" reportedly has been named Trump 2020 Presidential campaign director. Despite Facebook's denial that as Trump's 2016 campaign Digital Director (presumably under Kushner) Parscale's use of Facebook advertising had no overlap with Russians' ads suspicions remain that Trump's digital campaign would be a clearly logical nexus for coordination with Russia in microtargeting voters. Interested readers can go for more information to links below to video pieces previously done by the BBC on the Trump "digital team" San Antonio operations as well as a CBS "60 Minutes" piece specifically on Brad Parscale's unlikely rise at least to be the ostensible Trump 2016 campaign Digital Director as well as newly added videos directly below those from among MSNBC's Katy Tur, Nicole Wallace, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Brian Williams segments today (as available).
       So have the mechanics of Trump-Russia treasonous coordination been hiding at least in part in plain sight as previously speculated here in the Ninth Amendment perhaps also suggesting that the miraculously effective small Trump advertising budget perhaps was not as miraculously effective as thought if given substantial foreign augmentation? Readers may note that Special Counsel Mueller's recent publicly available indictment of 13 Russians engaged in foreign social media unlawful interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election also made reference specifically to an unnamed party located in, guess where? Texas. (Latest updates at bottom.)


Christopher Wylie, who helped found the data firm Cambridge Analytica and worked there until 2014, has described the company as an “arsenal of weapons” in a culture war.

       Thursday, 15 February 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Apart from the long growing list of comparatively more mundane laws G.O.P. "Party of Bad Faith" President Trump and the corrupt administration he directs breaks daily while lying repeatedly to the American people, F.B.I. and Congress until caught out by the press, F.B.I. and/or Congress from unprecedented massive security clearance breaches, never before seen levels of cabinet travel cost abuses, repeated obvious perjury including by his unindicted Attorney General Sessions under oath before Congress, overt "Trump Organization" global collection of illegal emoluments "tributes" and related likely fraudulent unaccounted for handling of charitable inaugural and "re-election" slush funds ideal vehicles for bribes and improper payoffs, now graduating to Trump most seriously brazenly ignoring and flouting his administration's legal mandates under duly overwhelmingly enacted federal law to impose long overdue increased Russian sanctions, Trump and his now ever more evident Republican congressional likely criminal co-conspirator enablers in Trump's most significantly increasingly more likely proven crimes already justifying his removal from office ranging without limitation for example from obstruction of justice, to abuse of power, to aiding and abetting, to accessory before and after the fact, to conspiracy against the United States, to money laundering and a likely raft of other related mobster-type offenses, ultimately uncovering sedition and/or suborning and/or committing treason not to mention likely another fifty or more credible counts special counsel Mueller and his team might add should they wish without hesitation.

       All of which is to say especially in light of the testimony of Trump's mostly own chosen top intelligence community officials from among the DNI, FBI, CIA, DIA and NSA appearing this week before the Senate Intelligence Committee that the various United States executive nation intelligence and law enforcement agencies under the intentionally completely lacking leadership of Trump have not been directed nor undertaken any coordinated effort to counter known Russian continuing increased acts of cyberware against the U.S. in election related national, state and political party data which warfare never has abated since the 2016 election and long before that and are known to be continuing and increasing to date largely uncontested as testified to by the agency heads with a high degree of certainty to be preparing to upset the upcoming 2018 U.S. election nine months away and then the next presidential election in 2020 and then so on after that, and why not barring some effective unequivocal response from the United States?
       As the New York Times entire editorial board grimly concedes in its below linked editorial, "So why is Mr. Trump still ignoring such conclusions? Some have said he is giving Russia a green light to tamper with the 2018 elections. That would have once been an absurd suggestion. It can no longer be dismissed out of hand." The Ninth Amendment editorial board here goes further in asserting that at this late urgent time at which Trump still has taken no action to defend our nation against the Russian threat and even broken the law failing to impose more legally required Russia sanctions therefore allowing that threat to become even greater that most thoughtful Americans would agree that the matter of further pondering and investigating Trump's steadfast enduring allegiance to Russia above our own national security may have to run its due course of investigation, but in the meantime for the sake of the enduring integrity of our democratic government the immediate determination of Trump's ability or inclination to continue to undertake the duties and powers the Office of the President must be immediately assessed based on his own lack of action in light of his oath of office without undue regard for the reason which becomes by the day existentially less immediately less relevant compared to protecting the nation.
       The United States Constitution in Article II, Section One, Clause 8 sets out the specific wording of the oath or affirmation of the office of the President that the President takes after assuming the office of the presidency but before carrying out any duties of the office. This is that oath that Donald J. Trump swore:

           "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,
            and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
            States."

       One might argue that President Trump has faithfully executed the Office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserved, protected and defended the Constitution of the United States, but they would be dead wrong whether advancing that argument simply by reason of being too stubborn or proud to admit mistake or merely a committed imbecile, ignoramus, liar, traitor and/or otherwise so impaired as to be constitutionally unable to recognize such an argument fails miserably in the face of the plain facts as to the entire continuous period of over one year that this Nation already has suffered for far too long Trump's ever more dangerous treasonable lacking execution of the duties of the Office of President following his ever more dubious appearing "election" to that Office in the first place along with all his administration as recognized in the New York Times entire editorial board editorial at the first link below.
       The attestation of the heads of the nation's most important intelligence agencies mostly of Trump's own choosing that the President has done absolutely nothing to protect or even apparently mentioned protecting the United States (as opposed to Trump trying to protect himself) from what may be the greatest imminent existential threat the country ever has faced internally even provided sure information of the magnitude of the threat only cements the conclusion that President Trump by reason of abrogating his duties and in fact acting in his own interest against those duties of fidelity to this great Nation he ostensibly leads has lost any legitimate claim he ever has had to any of the prerogatives either the powers or protections of the Office of the President. Combined with the most shameful Republican Congress particularly the GOP majority House of Representatives perhaps the worst cowards in the history of this country which has not only demonstrated itself unwilling to carry out its sworn duties as to the impeachment of the President rather enabling him for partisan advantage now largely appears determined to descend even further into the black hole of conspiracy with Trump's malfeasance the timing could not be worse.
       Given the President's manifest failures in his adherence to his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the manifestly evident failure of the Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to intercede the Founding Fathers made clear since the drafting of the Declaration of Independence that that responsibility inevitably reverts to those with whom the source of all power and protection of governance resides those being the "inalienable rights of the People" which failing other constitutional remedies must include the removal from office of the President and his corrupt administration imminently endangering the future of the democratic institutions of the United States. Readers interested in more information can go to the first link below.
       UPDATE 26 February 2018 Trump again hits a 35% approval rating matching his all-time low after his drop from a temporary 5 point "tax cut bump" presumably from those who did not realize that unless they are ultra-rich any temporary small benefit they have received was designed by the GOP to soon vanish after the 2018 polls while literally continuing to pay out trillions indefinitely to the very few richest individuals like their donors GOP office holders hope can keep them bought in office even as they destroy working Americans and rich corporations who are buying back their shares and not doing anything more than window-dressing hiring. Readers interested in more information including all details of the 20-23 February 2018 polling conducted for CNN by SSRS can go to the sixth link below.
       UPDATE 4 March 2018 Trump dark rages into ominous "Pure Madness" shocks and alarms 22 White House officials, advisers, allies and friends of warning of worsening unpredictable dangers as Trump obsesses on a tightening convergence of intense personal-official intertwined pressures.

       UPDATE 6 March 2018 Recent reporting and publicly broadcast statements confirm that it was GOP Mitch McTraitor who subverted proper constitutional process throughout 2016 denying rightful Senate consideration of Obama nominee Merrick Garland for seating on the Supreme Court instead conspiring in violation of GOP McTraitor's oath to the implicit good faith upholding of the Constitution later to perpetrate the selling by his corrupt GOP RICO conspiracy of the illegitimately held back seat to the bogus choice of the highly partisan bogus 501(c)(3) Judicial Watch the purchase financed by Anschutz and the Koch Brothers with the stolen Garland seat being bought for confirmation by the lowest Senate approval vote in history for Trump nominee Neil "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch contrary to a valid reading of the Constitution.
       The case being that because of this Mitch McTraitor constitutional perversion "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch never has been a bona fide authentic Supreme Court justice meaning his purported votes on the Court have not and never will be valid and he should remove himself from or be removed from the Court's chambers, it therefore is unsurprising that Mitch McTraitor also was this sole congressional leader who subverted and violated his oath to the Constitution  by insisting that voters intentionally be deprived of meaningful material known information of the Trump-Russia warfare existence and intentions against the United States well before the 2016 election such that McTraitor once again sabotaged the democratic will of the People solely here to facilitate the success of that hostile foreign state's warfare in achieving the illegitimate "President" Trump's "election" which in fact thereby accomplished the opposite unequivocal voiding of the election results given Mitch McTraitor's characteristic corrupt ill intent and bad faith exercised against all American voters as a means of wrongfully achieving GOP presidential power in the 2016 election in furtherance of warfare perpetrated by a conspiring foreign hostile power.

       Meanwhile it now has been reported in the New Yorker that former MI6 Christopher Steele the British hero longtime spy serving against the Soviet Union in the Cold War most highly regarded in the Western intelligence community and diplomatic service appallingly sought to be discredited and wrongfully attacked solely for repulsive perceived GOP partisan advantage through further distraction led by treasonable members of the "GOP on its deathbed" increasingly in desperation criminally obstructing justice Senators Chuck "Please Take Me Back Out To Pasture" Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey "How Disingenuous Can I Get" Graham (R-SC) in addition to Steele's well-known so-called "dossier" of reports he also had prepared a shorter report on intelligence from a single longtime source highly placed in the Russian Foreign Ministry that the word circulating there was that the Kremlin had ordered "President" Trump to select expected Russia oil and gas and sanctions-lifting ally Rex Tillerson to be U.S. Secretary of State rather than Mitt Romney a well-known Russia hawk as to which order Trump of course promptly obliged Russia as Trump has in every single matter as "President" duly answered to Putin and Trump's other Russian owners and handlers.
       Rex Tillerson certainly has performed beyond what even could have been Trump's Russian handlers wildest expectations in once placed as directed by them at the State Department systematically destroying the legendary U.S. State Department and disgusting into retirement its irreplaceable talent and institutional expertise literally generations in the making the crown jewel of world diplomacy spreading United States ideals of democratic and liberty as a beacon of hope throughout the world. As Trump's Russian owners ordered that Trump choose "Hex" Rex Tillerson to take over the State Department the so-called "President" (who everyone including himself most of all knows never legitimately won any election) jumped to it as Tillerson lost no time shredding that august institution to a skeleton of its former self in perhaps one of the greatest acts of internal sabotage of the United States in the country's entire history and remarkably largely in just over a year (by his clear design) even as Tillerson the worst Secretary of State that ever has befouled this nation which surely abhors him more than he ever could abhor it reportedly fails to spend a single cent of the $120 million the State Department was allotted to fight Russian election meddling.
       The Russian-picked Tillerson declares resistance against the Russians futile before even trying and what the hell let the Russians meddle into Congress most likely some more GOPs in 2018 to help out their Siberian candidate Trump as Tillerson remains too disdainful of his homeland even to fill in the State Department's organizational chart just as his once and (he thinks) future company Exxon had been too disdainful of its nation to have even bothered to have someone other than known notorious drunk Hazelwood captain the Exxon Valdez directly into its pristine Alaska Coast oil spill disaster. (Hey Rex did you all ever pay that $1 billion punitive damages jury award or was Rex and is Exxon still fighting it generations later taking it up to the Supreme Court again for about the twelfth time now with Mitch McTraitor's GOP man "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch casting corporate criminal favorable fake votes while lecturing the Brethren trying to pretend but certainly not acting as if he had earned a real person's spot on the bench?")
       Like Trump and his cadre befouling the White House one quite reasonably may ask if Tillerson also is an agent of the Russian state infecting the highest levels of the U.S. government. The question then remains whether Trump and Tillerson one day may be found out to be enemies of the State in every worst legal sense of the word and be determined to merit the same fate as befell the Rosenbergs sixty-five years ago as Trump and Tillerson could quite rightly might be found to have taken every opportunity to cause the nation far more harm than ever even alleged that that couple could.  Readers interested in more information on Trump the Siberian Candidate and Hex "Exxon" Tillerson the destroyer of the State Department can go to the third and fourth links below. Whatever horrorshow may await every serving (themself) member of this Trumptime end times GOP every last one can rest easy knowing that whatever specifics of their treachery will in due course scatter to the winds in a thousand directions gone like a handful of dust their only enduring history to be one of timeless disgrace to the nation they swore to protect but instead sought to destroy for their own benefit and future generations be damned.

"Boycott The Republican Party" The Atlantic March 2018 By Rauch And Wittes




Edmon de Hro     





Edmon de Haro

Boycott the Republican Party

If conservatives want to save the GOP from itself, they need to vote mindlessly and mechanically against its nominees.

(1) The GOP has become the party of Trumpism.
(2) Trumpism is a threat to democratic values and the rule of law.
(3) The Republican Party is a threat to democratic values and the rule of law.
