Funny that "Mercer" is in the notables again.
Previously, I did a search on "Mercer" and "Sherman" in the news (these are the names of Mike Pompeo's dogs which seem involved in some sort of informal "comms") and came across this story: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/why-the-mercers-trumps-biggest-2016-backers-have-bailed-on-him
It does not seem to me that the Mercers bailed on Trump. It seems to me that press attention was overwhelming to them. I'd guess that as friends of the President the attention was not kind, either. I did not know that Robert Mercer was a computer expert who was connected with Cambridge Analytica.
This quote is from the linked story: "Sources said the Mercers cut back their spending because they felt scarred by the press scrutiny that followed their association with Trump."
Now we find out that Rebekah Mercer is backing Parler.
Makes me more interested in Parler…
