> "Let's put on our tinfoil hats for a moment" Cambridge Analytica's involvement in the 2016 election has been reported since July 2015. Targeting via Facebook has been known since at least 2012 with respect to the Obama campaign, and with the Cruz, Carson, and Trump campaign since early 2016.[0] There's been an ongoing investigation into possible election improprieties, so people have been focussed on all of these areas for years. You don't need a tinfoil hat and some kind of coordinated campaign to explain that it was likely just a matter of time before something like this would hit the headlines. In this case, it appears that it was Wylie coming forward.
