Let's pay careful attention to the chronology here

[struggle4progress]

We know Russia tried to interfere in our election last year

We know Trump ridiculed all evidence that this happened

We know that one of Trump's earliest appointees was Flynn, who now seems to have taken money from the Russians while promising to make the sanctions go away

We know that Yates brought these matters to the Administration's attention

And we know she was fired almost immediately afterwards

1. "Interesting times" to be sure

[ecstatic]

2. Also, how do the top level Russians who were arrested and/or killed for treason factor in

to the timeline?

[wildeyed]

4. It's true.

I wasn't thinking about that. Someone needs to do an actual timeline with dates.

[sarah FAILIN]

10. I think that was 1 week in

So much has gone one, but basically 1 week after Flynn and Trump take over, those men are "gone".

[democratisphere]

3. One down.

An entire administration to go..........

5. I posted my thread just a min or two before you:

6. Sorry: I simply missed it. You're spot-on!

7. Democrats must demand congressional hearings. Put Flynn under oath. nt

8. Also, Paul Manafort also resigned due to ties to Russia...

Lots of people involved around tRump have Russian ties. Weird.

9. "The Manchurian Candidate"

12. total coincidence, I'm sure

[tblue37]

16. Including Ivanka and her husband. nt

11. It's not the crime that gets you, it's being too stupid to bother really covering it up

The dots here are so easy to connect. It's bizarre. I guess the strategy was something like those thieves you occasionally read about who simply walk into a Wal Mart in the middle of the day and walk out with TVs, and get away with it because nobody expects anyone to be that brazen.

13. Isn't Ivanka good friends with Putin's daughter? And what about Carter Page's russia

ties? And Manafort? Russia election manipulation via dnc hack? Trump's secret server connected to Russia? lawyer Cohen accused of meeting Krelim reps in Prague? Russia's best friend Tillerson now our SOS?? No tax returns because of russia deals? Dems pissed after classified intelligence briefing re Russia ties? Rosneft secret investor?

ALL of the Russia rumors and storylines just got legs.

14. +

it's time to ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS

[hedda_foil]

15. Your thinking of Wendy Deng, formerly Mrs Rupert Murdoch, who's Putin's gf & Ivanka's bff.

17. Jared Kushner also is deeply entangled in Russian financial webs. nt
