Yes, and probably a few other news outlets that participated in distributing the propaganda. There are so many that I didn’t attempt to cover them all, but one that stands out is NBC’s Ken Dilanian, since he has a known CIA connection and has been active on this.

Guven the insertion of Evan McMullin into the campaign, and other factors, look for a Romney involvement in this

That’s the purpose of posting the original skeletal time line: Others can help fill in additional events.

Together Freepers get the job done!

May I suggest we send the entire thread to friendly media to help them get the correct picture, when it is completed !

The Clintons’ connections to the Panama Papers (Hillary
staffer, foundations donors, presidential pardon recepient)

Three hundred and fifty ace reporters---an International Consortium of Investigative Journalists---are pouring over a massive dump of more than 11.5 million documents from the Panama-based Mossack Fonseca law firm; the first findings were revealed earlier this month.

The “Panama Papers” exposed thousands of offshore bank accounts of the politically high and mighty. Hillary quickly decried the “outrageous tax havens” for “the super-rich.”

But it turns out that Hillary and Bill have multiple connections with people named — including campaign staffers and major donors, McClatchy Newspapers revealed Saturday. Those named used the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca to set up offshore entities. The firm has denied wrongdoing

<><> Gabrielle Fialkoff, Clinton’s finance director during her first campaign for the NY Senate (see mcclatchydc.com). Fialkoff is now senior adviser to NYC Mayor de Blasio and director of the city’s Office of Strategic Partnership.

<><>A $100 million donor to the Clinton Foundation and recipient of tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept--Frank Giustra--a billionaire Canadian mining magnate and longtime crony of Bill, is also mentioned.

<><>The Chagoury Group, an international developer based in West Africa pledged $1 billion in projects to the Clinton Global Initiative is mentioned.

<><> Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng, who was at the center of a Democratic fund-raising scandal during the Clinton administration.

<><> Marc Rich, the notorious international fugitive who got a midnight pardon by then-president Bill in 2001.

The Clintons themselves do not appear to be mentioned but their ties to multiple big-money names using offshore accounts raises critical questions.

(ED NOTE: When L/E investigated Jeffrey Epstein of Pedo Island fame, they found Bill CLinton and crony Doug Band listed w/ some 23 phone nos and emails. L/E associates multiple phones and emails w/ money laundering and tax evasion schemes.)2016

I don’t think this is just about domestic politics anymore. If the UK gov’t’s paw prints are on this, there is a far bigger conspiracy.

There was a thread yesterday about a caller interviewed on the Kuehner report who claimed the 4 chan hoax originated in January 2016 in campaign to troll Rick Wilson

My guess is that Breitbart, TownHall and even InfoWars pretty much have a clear idea of the timeline of this whole debacle.

Thanks; I’ll be interested to see what the Italian press comes up with, since the FBI’s Rome bureau received the dossier early. I’m meaning to scan the French and German coverage as well.

Wow!. Nice job Fedora.

This line caught my attention:

"May 9, 2016: Judge Andrew Napolitano says Russia has 20,000 of Clinton’s emails they are debating releasing".

That's pretty early in the cycle for a mention of the Russians as the source of Clinton email hacking. And the Judge is (IMHO) a pretty reliable source. Hoping for more on what he was talking about. Could be my cloudy memory of events. Could be new news.
