To be clear, when I was first engaged by SCL, I became research director for multiple companies, so it wasn't just the elections division that I was working on. Looking at the research we were doing originally, it wasn't necessarily just for elections. There would have been military applications for it, and at the time, military work was the bread and butter of the company. It was around that time that Alexander Nix met up with Steve Bannon and began that process of engaging with Bannon and the Mercers to essentially port that over into an electoral context in the United States.
