Of course not. The rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats and other liberals.

I’m sure they didn’t INTEND to violate the law, so no prosecutor would consider indicting.

/RULE FOR DEMOCRATS

It must be considered a campaign donation just as Trumps lawyer is being considered as one.

They are called in-q-tel which is the “venture capital” arm of the CIA

THE INVESTMENT ARMS of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future.

The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come.

It’s modern left wing propaganda and very creepy.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-the-obama-campaign-won-the-race-for-voter-data/2013/07/28/ad32c7b4-ee4e-11e2-a1f9-ea873b7e0424_story.html?utm_term=.ffd8c603ae7a

From the article:
“But this third piece of the puzzle provided the campaign with another treasure trove of information and an organizing tool unlike anything available in the past. It took months and months to solve, but it was a huge breakthrough. If a person signed on to Dashboard through his or her Facebook account, the campaign could, with permission, gain access to that person’s Facebook friends. The Obama team called this “targeted sharing.” It knew from other research that people who pay less attention to politics are more likely to listen to a message from a friend than from someone in the campaign. The team could supply people with information about their friends based on data it had independently gathered. The campaign knew who was and who wasn’t registered to vote. It knew who had a low propensity to vote. It knew who was solid for Obama and who needed more persuasion — and a gentle or not-so-gentle nudge to vote. Instead of asking someone to send a message to all of his or her Facebook friends, the campaign could present a handpicked list of the three or four or five people it believed would most benefit from personal encouragement.”

Thanks blam. See, it's gonna be okay! This is just not any worse than the imaginary s*** that the Demagogic Party and its media shills have been claiming that President Trump did.
