"If Cambridge Analytica had 30 million records it does not automatically mean that so many millions of people had their minds changed about who to vote for. Yes, they like to brag, but they have no proof."

Intent can be criminal in itself. You can be guilty of attempted murder even if your effort had essentially no chance of success. If a company brags about their ability to manipulate elections by questionable means, they don't actually have to be successful in order for people to get upset about it.
