The Report:The phone records show Ukrainegate starting in April, that's interesting because

[shockey80]

Mueller gave his report to Barr on March 22nd. I looked it up out of curiosity. In April, Barr lied and cleared Trump. It all lines up. Trump thought he was free and clear to commit the same crime again. He began to put together the conspiracy.

In July Mueller testified, Trump made the phone call to Ukraine the next day.

I don't know if the news media is reporting this timeline yet.

1. Good catch.

Someone will surely look into it further and report on it.

3. Schiff just said it!

He was on TV just (so happy the TV in the library was tuned into ABC and not FOX)a moment ago!

5. I heard that!

They get it.

2. Schiff is very clearly pointing that out

It began the day after the release of the Mueller report.

4. I'm pretty sure both RM and Chris Hayes have noted this; probably LO'D as well.

I believe the phone call was literally *the next day* after Barr's "summary" was issued.

6. The phone call happened after Mueller testified, I believe it was July 25th.

7. Right, thanks ! I remember "one day after ..." something. :) nt

8. To sum it all up, this is how it looks to me so far.

In April Barr lies and clears Trump. Trump thinks he is free and clear to commit the same crime again.

April, Trump starts putting together the Ukraine conspiracy.

In July, Mueller testifies. Trumps belief that he is free and clear is emboldened. The next day he calls the President of Ukraine and bribes him.

11. the Sly Snake thought since he could slither away by having rabid supporters clear him with lies he

could get away with anything. Dems need to work to take down Barr - get him disbarred for the blatant corruption and coverups. Moscow Mitch also needs to be taken down.

9. Kick and rec.

Good catch.

10. K&R!

12. Maybe much earlier still? Ukraine offered a solution to Russia sanctions, Mueller threat, and

Manafort flipping/pardon. May have been hatched much earlier...perhaps as a response to it being known in 2016 that Russia was interfering in election. May have only surfaced at the time Mueller testified, but the roots probably were in place earlier?

Manafort was dropping Ukraine misinformation during the campaign, IIRC.

13. Maybe the Mueller Report was mild to further the investigation and catch more fish?

We're critical of it falling short, or not indicting some of these perps, but you do want to catch all of them. Letting an investigation run casts a wider net. And boy we have a school of them now.

14. Media should report this timeline every single day.

15. Biden declared his Presidential candidacy on April 25, 2019.
