Added to the timeline Manafort's meeting with Kilimnik: collaboration with a political consultant known to work for Russian intelligence.

(That Americans elected Trump again after what was revealed in the five-volume report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee is mind-boggling. Also mind-boggling is that Marco Rubio was acting chair of the committee at time of release, and went on to work for Russia in multiple roles in the Trump administration.)

Good example of how to cover the news accurately, by Casey Michel:

Paul Manafort Is Back to Wreck the World

Trump’s one-time aide-de-camp and bagman for corrupt foreign regimes is returning to his old stomping grounds, rolling back precious progress against a world of kleptocrats.

"Instead of the broken, chastened man Manafort once claimed to be, he’s cannonballed back into the world of cementing authoritarian forces around the globe."

"At least three times now, Trump has interfered with those negotiations by vowing that Russian president Vladimir Putin will release Gershkovich for him and him alone. He said it in last night’s CNN debacle, where he also made a big deal out of the idea that Putin will do it as a favor, without an exchange of money. "

#MichaelCohen reads aloud the tweets #Trump put out when Cohen pleaded guilty, saying that he felt “very badly for #PaulManafort & his wonderful family” & praising #Manafort for refusing to “break“
“Such respect for a brave man.”

A sitting president was tweeting these things.

Also shown: Trump's tweets attacking Cohen saying if anyone wants a good lawyer, he doesn’t recommend Cohen. He contrasts Cohen & Manafort, a #loyal ally, & criticizes Cohen for “breaking.”

"With Trump under financial pressure and angling to avoid jail, the possible reemergence of Russia-oligarch-whisperer Paul Manafort – himself convicted in the Mueller probe and later pardoned by Trump – as an adviser to the Trump campaign is a development that I would find implausible in a fictional political thriller, but here we are."

RationalWiki

The Trump-Russia connection or Russiagate refers to the possible collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government to unfairly influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It's become the subject of not only controversy, but also of a full-fledged #FBI investigation.

Despite its popular name, the Trump-Russia investigation or the #Russia probe examines more than ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Other countries with potentially illegal connections to Trump and his associates include #China, #Israel, #Qatar, #Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates; in particular, Trump, his daughter Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner have business interests in Qatar, the UAE, Israel, and China. Nor is it limited to the office of the Special Counsel; there is a separate criminal investigation by the FBI. …
