1. Intro Required reading

This documents purpose is to compile all the info I have gathered from every available source
(Reddit, twitter, media, etc) on the Trump-Russia connection. Im not out for conspiracy
theories, anything without a reputable source will not be included. My only goal here is to
inform. I will continue to improve this document as I go. If you feel I missed anything
important, or find any errors, or have any suggestions please let me know.
PostimusMaximus
reddit.com/r/TrumpInvestigation and my twitter will be the home for this document and
anything else related I work on.
Dates preceding a given point are most often when the Source was written, not the date
of the event being discussed.
Anything mentioned in the Dossier listed off of the Dossier page will be red. Ive
included these for the purpose of seeing plausible links, they are not to be taken as
proven fact.
Anything in normal text is a story or report from normal reputable sources (or direct
tweets).
Sources are hyperlinked at the end of a given bullet point. Sometimes a link will be
featured multiple times in the document in each relevant section or bullet points.
Anything added or updated with the latest doc update will be followed by: *New*
(unless Im provided with a better suggestion)
I encourage you to follow through with the sources. I gave very short descriptions for the
sake of keeping the document readable and as you can see its still excessive in length. This
will hopefully give a clean overview, but the sources will provide you with the full picture of
how extensive things are. Feedback may result in me typing up more extensive in document
form as opposed to relying on sources to provide the bulk of the information.

comprehensive timelines that can be found here

be found here: https://trumped-up.neocities.org/
36. Theories and opinion pieces
Nothing on this page is to be taken as fact. This is a collection of information outside of the scope of
the Dossier that has yet to be proven and opinion pieces I believe are at least worth a read. Take none of
them as fact until proven otherwise.
36.1. Jester
Jester has an additional theory based on a recent tweet by Russia. (Twitter story) Source
*Small note on why Jester could be right. Source
Well-known pro-America hacker Jester has a write up on his thoughts. Jester often manages to
call stories ahead of time. Source
34.3 Louise Mensch

Louise Mensch has a write up on a theory between Russia-Trump collusion. She often manages
to be ahead of stories. Source
Recommended interview with Louise Mensch on the overall story of Comey, Trump and Russia.
Source
Louises blog covers all of her ideas related to Trump-Russia. Source
Theory that Trump met with Dmitry Rybolovlev in Charlotte, NC. (Evidence seems to be
there but Id like more, circumstantial as is). Source * Louise Mensch has also brought
this up
A hacker with some minor help from Louise possibly found the host of a wikileaks
server. Source *New*
34.4 John Schindler
John Schindler (Former NSA)- Ahem: US IC has considerable SIGINT featuring high-level
Russians talking about their collusion with Team Trump. Source
John Schindler (Former NSA) Learned fm very reliable IC sources that Trump WH, w/help fm
Russian intel, is targeting US journalists. Rough road ahead. Get ready, peeps Source
