Then, on Sept. 8 - the day of the #Sessions/Kislyak meeting - Trump told a Russian TV network he didn't think Russia was behind the hack. 5/

So at the start of the wk, Russia wasn't optimistic abt cooperation. After #Sessions-Kislyak mtg, that changed, 9/

Thank you, bigtree

6. The timeline makes a great deal of sense

Just add the business ties all over the place along with the money laundering and I think we might get something out of it.

You know, like our country.

8. "You know, like our country."

Yes!

9. Has any Republican been asked what the Russian

Ambassador was doing at their convention ?

20. influencing the platform on Ukraine

...

10. Or, from the BBC Sherlock television series episode The Sign of Three:

Mycroft Holmes: Oh, Sherlock. What do we say about coincidence?

Sherlock Holmes: The universe is rarely so lazy.

16. Auric Goldfinger: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."

11. This sound like Trump actually instigated the release of the data.

The Russians hacked the material but Trump was the one who had it released to turn the election.

In any normal world this would send him straight to jail without passing go.

12. downpayment

...on receipt of Trump's initial warming of the relationship, and undermining of the Obama administration's efforts to sanction Russia for hacking.

13. Thank you. Note that she added another key event to this timeline: a SECOND Sept contact.

(with the 3rd at the convention.)

And what happened between the September meeting and the phone call? The Wikileaks release.

23. But, but, but

Sessions says he was meeting Kislyak as a Senator and he doesn't think they talked about the campaign except maybe if Kislyak wanted to gossip about it. I'm sure the Russians will vouch for his honesty.
