I clicked on one of the links in the Sharyl Attkisson article, http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/feb/15/russia-investigation-and-donald-trump-timeline-rec/ and discovered the usual pile of BS.

1. July 2015: Hackers backed by the Russian government penetrate the Democratic National Committee’s networks, stealing large volumes of data and maintaining access for about a year.

(There is adequate proof that Seth Rich downloaded the DNC files and the Russians had zero to do with it. DNC refused to let FBI search their server.)

2. January 2016: Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer, emails Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

(This is slanted - Cohen emailed Putin to CANCEL the Trump Tower.)

3. While traveling in Italy in mid-March, Papadopoulos meets a London-based professor whom Papadopoulos understood to have "substantial connections to Russian government officials."

(March 21, 2016, Trump adds Papadopoulous and Page to his foreign policy team. Papadopoulous is set up by Stefan Halper on March 24, 2016. March 31, 2016: Papadopoulos tells Trump, Sessions and other campaign members that he can use his Russian connections to arrange a meeting between Trump and Putin. Trump team tell him they are not interested.)

4. June 3, 2016: Donald Trump, Jr. receives an email from Rob Goldstone, a business associate. Goldstone tells the younger Trump that Moscow supports his father’s candidacy, and says he has a connection to a Russian government official with incriminating evidence against Hillary Clinton.

(We now know this was another attempt to set up the Trump team. The meeting was a bust.)

5. Oct. 21, 2016: The FBI and Justice Department obtain a FISA warrant to monitor Page after convincing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that there is probable cause to believe Page is acting as an agent of Russia.

(We now know the FISA warrant was issued under false information.)

6. Jan. 10, 2017: A dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele goes public. Steele wrote the dossier on behalf of Fusion GPS, a research firm whose work had been funded in part by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The document suggests the Kremlin possesses compromising material against Trump and raises the possibility Trump is vulnerable to blackmail.

(We now know the dossier was used for the FISA warrant without any verification of it.)

The second link in the article does not work!

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.washingtonpost.com%2fnews%2fpolitics%2fwp%2f2018%2f02%2f05%2fa-so-far-complete-timeline-of-the-investigation-into-trump-and-russia%2f&usg=aovvaw0yrfetkfue7x75e1gkeoqw.
