Right click, "view image".
It doesn't contain sources or anything and lacks a lot of context.

This timeline is just plain false.. the whole basis of this timeline is that Trump never colluded with Russia.
We know he did.
Also what about the recorded conversation of Paul Ryan and other Hop members over a year ago talking about trumps Russia ties.. this doesn't add up

The "tenor" of the graphical timeline... versus the linked timeline that Kettu posted are entirely different.
One biases towards Trump and the other biases against Trump.
Both rely on individual perception bias.
I think the inference of motivation is more accurate in the graphical one, personally. Somehow we have managed to have knowledge of EVERY MANNER OF THING Trump has done in private "leaked" by Intel "stay behind" insiders...
...but the "Russia" meme that has pushed the Trump "Manchurian Candidate" narrative has failed to come up with any actual evidence of crimes being committed. No leaks of evidence or "smoking guns"... in close to a year now.
NOTE: Before anyone starts screeching about the recent "Don Jr." Russian lawyer scandal... let me repeat "...EVIDENCE OF CRIMES" is what I said.
Somehow the left has managed to make everything Trump does (...that is part of the political slime process going on for decades.) "Illegal". It's not... and the more informed segment of the population, regardless of their politics knows that.
Of course... this is also why CNN's viewership has dropped off the cliff in the last month. Reasonable people on BOTH sides of the political constituency are just tired of their bulls**t.
I will say, that there has been a tremendous amount of "Amateur hour" BS from the Trump White House. They really underestimated, as did most of us civilians, how much "stay behind" political garbage effects the day to day operation of the gubnit.
Reince Priebus is a tender lilly as Chief of Staff. They should have had a ball buster conservative of the leadership style of Rahm Emanuel as COS.
I think they should institute a scorched earth flush out of ANYONE who has stayed behind that has in ANY way worked to oppose the elected POTUS. Hate him or love him... he was elected in the manner proscribed by the U.S. Constitution... and as such working deliberately against him while in the employ of the administration he heads is oppositional to the American Rule of Law... not to mention common decency.
Folks who are leaking... they need to start putting them in prison. Politics should ALWAYS take the back seat to following the Rule of Law.

Is the Ukraine part of Russia?
""California Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday that fellow Washington Democrats acted “inappropriately” if they indeed met with Ukrainian officials to get potentially damaging information on 2016 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.""

Do you mean, is it part of the United States? No... it is not. Nor is it part of Russia... although The Crimea arguably was... prior to a vote on Crimea's Independence that saw better than 90% of Crimea's population vote for Independence from the Ukraine, which included a close strategic alignment with the Russian Republic.
DNC shenanigans with Ukraine were "Inappropriate?" That's a fair statement. It apply's to Don Jr.'s meeting with the Russian Lawyer as well. Not at all illegal... but certainly, a poorly executed suaré, to be sure.
Yeah... that was the western media's "Russian military takeover" of Crimea CNN/MSNBC/FAUX news and the print media keeps harping about...
90% PLUS of the Crimean population votes to break away from the Ukraine, and American/European media sells it as a Russian Military takeover.
The saddest thing about it... most Americans actually believe western media's account of it.
