As you know, I've been wondering about whether the Russia collusion theory was ever a reality or a construct of FBI. I put together a timeline of events, this time including Carter Page and some pivotal events with which you are familiar. Have a look at how it went down.
2013: Carter Page is working for the FBI to help catch spies
June 2015: Trump announces candidacy
Clinton campaign puts down payment on the false dossier
April 2016: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.
That month, Federal Election Commission records show that the Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie a total of $150,000 for legal services. The DNC paid the firm around $107,000. It is unclear how much of that went to Fusion GPS. Both the campaign and DNC would pay Perkins Coie hundreds of thousands more dollars throughout the campaign.
April 2016: Papadopoulos met with Joseph Mifsud
May 2016: Comey decides Clinton is innocent.
May 26, 2016: Trump secures nomination
June 2016: Australia informs US that Papadopoulos has information about Clinton emails when leaked Podesta emails appear online.
The scramble for the emails begins
June 2016: Fusion GPS hires former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his London-based firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to investigate Trumps ties to Russia. Steele discloses this in court filings earlier this year as part of a lawsuit he faces over the dossier. Steele said he worked for Fusion GPS from June through November.
June 20, 2016: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Trump used prostitutes during a visit to Moscow in 2013 and that the Kremlin was blackmailing him with the evidence. The memo also alleges that the Trump campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives.
July 5, 2016: With Strzok's input, Comey lets Clinton off the hook.
July 19, 2016: Trump officially becomes GOP nominee
July, 2016: Carter Page travels to Russia.
"Back in June 2016, I mentioned in passing that I happened to be planning to give a speech at a university in Moscow," Page told CNN. "Completely unrelated to my limited volunteer role with the campaign and as I've done dozens of times throughout my life."Very curiously, he would later testify without a lawyer.
Pages decision to appear before the committee without a lawyer surprised members, including Conaway. Castro said Pages decision to testify without a lawyer was a first for the committee. You know, as an attorney myself, I certainly would think that somebody would want to have a lawyer with them, but theres also a high cost financially for somebody to be able to afford a lawyer.July 2016: Chatter began appearing on social media referring to damning information about Trumps ties to Russia. Republican strategist Rick Wilson told The New York Times back in January, after the dossier was published, that he was first asked about the document by a reporter in July.
(This is when Steele begins leaking the story to the media)
Late July 2016: FBI opens investigation into Trump-Russia- signed off by Peter Strzok.
I think this started as an investigation into who might have the Clinton emails but then it morphed into the collusion accusation.

Thanks for the info, great work.
Not sure if it is the same info but her is a link to a timeline as well.

Regards.
Yes, that was the main source. I think it can be added to. I though it would be good to post as a reference.
4/29/15 FBI warns Andrew McCabe about potential conflicts of interest related to his wife’s campaign Newsweek http://www.newsweek.com/andrew-mccabe-hillary-clinton-emails-conflict-interest-fbi-772331
7/20/15 DOJ DAG Sally Yates writes to DOJ Inspector General, saying National Security Division (NSD) is not subject to IG review DOJ https://www.ignet.gov/sites/default/files/files/OLC%20IG%20Act%20Opinion%20-%207-20-15%20.pdf
4/25/16 FBI’s James Baker and DOJ’s FISA attorneys visit White House for two back-to-back meetings White House https://twitter.com/ckadoodldooUS/status/944982488497172482
5/3/16 Email from DNC contractor Ali Chalupa states she connected Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News “to the Ukrainians”
Was Sally Yates blocking investigation since at least 2015? When did she sign the FISA Warrant?
Lefty investigative reporter, Seymour Hersch, says the Russian collusion story was thought up by John Brennan.
Thanks this is useful. It would be interesting to find and tie in Obama’s other “weaponizing” scandals timelines and see how they compare and overlap.
“Either the entire DC Policemen and Detectives are CORRUPT.”
It was even more than that. The doctor who attended to Seth Rich at the hospital, and who pronounced him dead, was someone who visited Obama’s White House, IIRC. And there were many more “coincidences” that are just creepy. OAN had a special on the Rich murder about a year ago, and it gave me goose bumps. I believe the documentary can be found online.
Thanks Starman417.
Thank you, I was just looking for a timeline.
There is so much enemedia trail to read...its useful to be able to look at it by timeline...
Thanks. I’ll add that one.
Also interesting is the sequence of events re the dossier. Comey told DJT that he had a “salacious and unverified” dossier. Weeks/months before that conversation FBI had gone to FISA court for a warrant based on the dossier. If it was unverified when he spoke to Trump, then it certainly was unverified when he went to FISA. I’m going to get those dates.
Do you know if the Michael isikoff(?) guy is the one named in the Fisa warrant?
thanx you both for the outstanding effort you put into these time lines.
sure helps paint the picture.
Thx
I did a little digging. Michael Isikoff is currently with Yahoo News. He was with yahoo news at the time he was mentioned in the FISA Warrant. He was with NewsWeek prior to that but no time frame given. He may even overlap.
NewsWeek was raided last week. No one seems to know why? In the time line and mentioned in my prior post there is a link with NewsWeek and Jill McCabe. Just putting this out there.
good timeline ping
thks, thinden
So....Is Boris a WHITE Hat or a BLACK Hat??? Can’t figure anything out anymore!
I’m thinking a white (reserved)....
