A compendium of Trump-Russia time lines is presented in the tables below. There are time lines for the overall Trump-Russia saga, for individual players in the saga, for the Steele Dossier, for the NRA-Russia connection, and for Trump’s Conflicts of Interest. Based on a cursory review of these time lines, my preliminary favorites are the Lawfare, BillMoyers.com, FactCheck.org, and Wikipedia time lines. The BillMoyers.com time line starts very early (1979), is quite thorough, and allows you to filter on specific individuals or combinations of individuals. Lawfare conveniently provides several categorized time lines (Trump statements, individual Trump associates, and FBI/Mueller investigation, among others). The FactCheck.org and Wikipedia time lines appear very thorough, and are presented in a no-frills (no/few images) compact format that suits me. There are other very thorough time lines that are frillier (more images) and less compact. The Comments column notes those timelines that are kept updated by their authors. NOTE: This compendium of timelines was last updated 11 March 2018.
