Bannon was in a position to help arrange for Cambridge Analytica to get contracts with the U.S. government. Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, SCL Group, was already working on projects for the U.S. State Department. This meant that CA could access the U.S. government’s data, and vice versa. To my horror, I realized that Bannon could be creating his own private intelligence apparatus. And he was doing it for an administration that didn’t trust the CIA, the FBI, or the NSA. It felt like I was living in a nightmare.
