Unaware? Why? 'Cause there were no entries in Cyrillic??

Sorry, buddy, gotta do better than that…

It’s weird that someone looking like an extra on a Duck Dynasty location shoot ran Trump’s digital operations.

Maywether is gonna beat the shit out of this dude, and that’s the least of his problems.

Hope he got paid enough for a top-flight lawyer.

On the one hand, IIRC this guy was pulled in pretty much off the street from a relatively non-political street job in the business world. Any competent campaign would of course sanitize the inputs before he saw them. So ā€œI’m not awareā€ could be totally true and correct.

On the other hand, we have no reason whatsoever to treat this question as though these operations were carried out by a competent campaign.

That’s what everyone else said as well. And we know how those denials have worked out.

He’s avoided saying categorically, ā€œno!ā€. He, himself was unaware. He’s not sure there was no involvement, and he’s worried about what Cambridge Analytica, and the other ā€œpartnersā€ may have been up to.

Again, the piano player at whore house gambit.

Good statement. He’s not saying it didn’t happen, just that he was not aware of it happening.

Of course the chances of him lying about his awareness are high based on the Trump Truth Track Record [tm].

Is it just a coincidence that this guy looks like Rasputin?

According to [Wikipedia:][1]

Website developer to cyber expert. Quite a leap.

My guess is: he probably was really, really grateful for all those nerds Drumpfie was kind enough to have hired for him.

You know, the ones whose names all ended in ā€œskiā€ā€¦

ā€œunaware of any Russian involvementā€

So, when involvement is proven, he can say ā€œI’m shocked, SHOCKED!ā€

Hoping this indicates that Cambridge Analytica will be getting close scrutiny, as well.

With the ā€˜paint brush’ beard, he looks like just about any Tuscon, alt-right biker you’d happen to drive past

A certain broad hirsute resemblance to a very different Russian:

This guy was picked because he was cheap, unknown, and wouldn’t understand all the crap he was going to be the (unwitting) cut out for. Or he’s just a flat out liar. In any case, this ā€œI don’t knowā€ defense is much less certain than his denials had been in the past.

In exchange for nearly $100 million dollars you defend, hide and keep secrets to your grave.

Giles-Parscale, the firm of digital director Brad Parscale, received more than a half-million dollars in December for consulting and online ads. The company was the top Trump vendor of the campaign, taking in close to $94 million, much of which was used to buy ads and pay subcontractors.
