Steve Bannon’s already murky Middle East ties deepen
By Anita Kumar And Ben Wieder

Shortly after Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon left the White House, a company with close ties to him was hired by the United Arab Emirates to launch a social media campaign against its Arab neighbor, Qatar.

It was part of a multimillion-dollar effort by several Middle Eastern nations to isolate Qatar that received a boost when Trump criticized the country that for years had been a critical regional ally.

The UAE is paying $330,000 to a firm with the same parent company as Cambridge Analytica, the business Trump employed to reach voters with hyper-targeted online messaging during the campaign, to blast Qatar on Facebook and Twitter, among other sites, according to federal records.

Exposed as what? A lobbyist for UAE?

Are any US interests at risk here?

So let's count the degrees of separation here....

UAE hired a firm.
Firm has same parent company as another company.
The other company the Trump campaign hired.
Bannon worked for the Trump campaign.

Of course, any other President, we would be screaming about being in bed with Middle Easterners, foreign ties and influence, and playing connect the dots to terrorist financing.

But I even find this one a stretch.

Not even a lobbyist.  Bannon worked for Trump when the Trump campaign hired a company that is a subsidiary of a company that has another subsidiary of a company, that the UAE hired to do something. Big stretch in the least.

In other news Steve Bannon will be taking Thanksgiving dinner at Kevin Bacon's house.
