Timeline Russia-Trump Investigation Since Its Birth From The Washington Post

       Thursday, 20 September 2018. WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Washington Post recognizes that the White House's Monday announcement that Trump would inappropriately delcassify material related to the Russia-Trump investigation's launch is Trump's latest desperate attempt to undercut the Russia-Trump investigation rapidly closing in on Trump and his inner circle of family and cronies by this latest abuse of Trump's power and obstruction of justice attempting again to cast suspicion on motives for the Russia-Trump probe's launch by trying to exploit complexities of early interactions of those persons central to its launch -- FBI agent Peter Strzok, Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former MI6 spy Christopher Steele, etc. -- to confuse the American public into wrongly believing they evidence a non-existent anti-Trump conspiracy.
       Because Trump's abuse of power to declassify material which if exposed may well put intelligence sources' lives and methods at risk is intended solely to obstruct justice and may temporarily divert some attention wrongly to Trump's false allegations about the Russia-Trump investigation The Washington Post in the below-linked article outlines in a timeline what is already known about the launch of the Russia-Trump investigation and those persons involved with it so as to provide readers with an accurate guide to the truth of the launch Russia-Trump investigation including the complete absence of any "anti-Trump conspiracy" which con Trump ever more desperately tries to sell to the American people as Trump's panic grows given the accelerating exposure of his lifetime of dishonesty and uncovering of his likely "election" by treason with Russia collapsing the web of lies which until the present has sustained Trump's public totally phony "reality." Indeed now Trump's whole life persona rapidly is being exposed as the ultimate gold-plated standard of "fake news."

"I Am Part Of The Resistance Inside The Trump Administration" NYT Op-Ed


I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.
