Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse



Here are two certainties about the Trump-Russia investigation. It won't end soon. It will get uglier.

This is not a saga in its closing chapter.

Equally clear is that no matter what is revealed, Trump and his allies won't go quietly. Already, some congressional Republicans are trying to smear Mueller, the most experienced and respected special counsel in more than 40 years. If cornered, does anyone doubt that Trump will summon his core supporters to the streets?

The constant revelations create such a blur that context sometimes is overlooked. Trump and his operatives have lied repeatedly, denying that they had any contacts with Russians. Now we now know of at least 19 meetings among 31 interactions.

There are three avenues Mueller is exploring.

Did the Trump team aid and abet the Russian efforts to hack and steal e-mails with an eye toward influencing with the U.S. presidential election?

Did the president try to obstruct the investigation into those efforts?

What was the nature of any financial arrangements Trump may have had with Russians linked to the Kremlin?

Many of the Trump defenses seem to be unraveling.
