But Dan left the white house in 2011. What did he have to do with Google and 2016?
You appear to be correct. Ashley Turton worked for Progress Energy as a lobbyist in the energy industry.
Wikileaks released some emails from Stratfor regarding this in 2022.
"The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods."
