As Trump is pretending he is his own ‘Jury of his Peers’ — and declaring himself “Innocent of All Charges” — at least 16 times by some counts in yesterday NY Times interview …
there has been another more serious ‘Jury’ of his non-Peers — called Journalist and Investigators — that have been quiet racking up the Collusion Evidence, day-after-day …
Trump. Cambridge Analytica. WikiLeaks. The connections, explained. [2016 Timeline]
by Marshall Cohen, CNN — October 27, 2017

Between July 21 and July 31, 2016 -- Cambridge Analytica CEO emails WikiLeaks
Alexander Nix, the chief executive of data firm Cambridge Analytica,
emailed Assange seeking access to emails from Clinton's private server so he could turn them into a searchable database for the campaign or a pro-Trump political action committee. There is no evidence that Clinton's deleted emails were ever hacked or that WikiLeaks ever had possession of them.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the email was sent in late July 2016 at some point following the Republican National Convention. This was around the same time Cambridge Analytica started working for the Trump campaign as part of its three-pronged data operation based in San Antonio, Texas.

July 25, 2016 -- Trump says it's a "joke" that Russia hacked the DNC

saying on Twitter: "The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me."

July 29, 2016 -- Trump campaign pays $100,000 to Cambridge Analytica
The Trump campaign made its first of five payments to Cambridge Analytica, cutting a check for $100,000, according to records from the Federal Election Commission.
The Trump Campaign eventually paid Cambridge Analytica nearly
$6 Million dollars for services rendered. Including apparently having Julian Assange’s contact info.
Let’s see … What else was happening in the summer of 2016, that could be considered by any “unbiased observer” as Russian-Collusion-worthy? I dunno, was there any ‘secret meeting’ between the top Trump Team managers, and the hand-picked representatives of the Russian leadership, perhaps?
Trump Jr.'s initial statement responding to the story about his Russia meeting, published in July [2016] month after The New York Times first reported that the meeting took place, said that he and Veselnitskaya "primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children" and that the subject of conversation was "not a campaign issue at the time."
But that characterization evolved over the next few days, with Trump Jr. ultimately publishing his email correspondences with Goldstone, the British music publicist who organized the meeting. The email chain confirmed reports that Trump Jr. had agreed to the meeting after he was told Veselnitskaya was offering damaging information about then candidate Hillary Clinton. The meeting, Trump Jr. was told, was being arranged "as part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," to which Trump Jr. replied, "I love it."
In addition to Trump Jr. and Veselnitskaya, the meeting also included Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman; Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser; Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian lobbyist and former Soviet military intelligence officer; Anatoli Samachornov, a Russian translator; Rob Goldstone, a British music publicist who arranged the meeting at the request of Aras and Emin Agalarov, a wealthy Russian family; and Irakly "Ike" Kaveladze, a senior executive at the Agalarovs' real-estate company, Crocus Group, who attended the meeting as their representative.
Trump's lawyers initially said he was not involved and did not know about the meeting. A few weeks later, however, The Washington Post reported that Trump had "dictated" Trump Jr.'s initial misleading statement about it.
Lemme see, about how many times did the Trump Team NOT Collude with the Russians, in that critical timeline-episode recap? Well, considering the Lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who proffering the “Dirt on Hillary”, is directly connected to a close Putin associate (Yuri Chaika, Russia’s powerful prosecutor-general) — that was about 16 times! … of NOT Colluding.
They were like ships in the night, passing unknown, unnoticed. That June 9, 2016 secret meeting in Trump Tower — had absolutely nothing to do with the July 22, 2016 WikiLeaks dump of the 20,000 hacked DNC emails a month later; nor with Assange’s several email dumps to follow — emails he received from verifiable Russian hackers:
September 16, 2016 -- Stone predicts WikiLeaks will release Clinton emails
Stone says in a
radio interview that WikiLeaks will release new Clinton emails. "I expect Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks people to drop a payload of new documents on Hillary on a weekly basis fairly soon. And that, of course, will answer the question of exactly what was erased on that email server."
October 2, 2016 -- Stone alludes to future WikiLeaks releases
Stone appeared to predict that WikiLeaks would soon post damaging materials about Clinton.
He posted: "Wednesday @HillaryClinton is done. #WikiLeaks." Nothing materialized on the date Stone referred to, but two days after that date, WikiLeaks started releasing Podesta's emails.
October 3, 2016 -- Stone again predicts upcoming WikiLeaks releases
"I have total confidence that @wikileaks and my hero Julian Assange will educate the American people soon,"
Stone tweeted, four days before WikiLeaks began releasing Podesta's emails.
Those were ALL purely “coincidental” {air quotes time}. The Trump Campaign had Nothing to do with it, says president Trump now.
Nothing to do with the attempts to ease Russian Sanctions, in the months to follow, in exchange for that Hillary-DNC-Dirt, either. Despite the fact, that Donald’s pal Putin absolutely hated the Russian Sanctions, that Hillary Clinton previously endorsed as Secretary of State — for state crimes he and his regime had committed.
And continues to commit.
...
Absolutely nothing to see here folks:
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing;
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing;
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing;
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!
Donnie really means it, this time. Just trust him, OK?
Oh by the way, Putin means it too. Nothing, nothing, nothing happened.
