"not that there was interaction between Russia and the Trump campaign."

The FBI strongly disagrees with that statement. Facebook has been proven to be used as one of the tools to achieve those ends.

Whatever the FBI or people in it believe, the public assessment put forth by the US Intelligence Community does not address interaction; it is inaccurate to attribute that as a public unanimous conclusion of the Intelligence Community.

Note that I'm not making the “no collusion” argument, hence the reference to the Papadopoulos plea. The Trump-Russia interaction just is outside the scope of the public Intelligence Community assessment, and shouldn't be described as the public conclusion of the US intelligence community.

Could you provide a citation? OP's comment mirrors my understanding. My understanding is that Russia acted both for and against Trump, though primarily for. But that is different than those efforts being coordinated by the Trump campaign.

Cambridge Analytic was named as such because it sounds "official" and it helped when they were eventually were hired by Bannon.
