The Moscow Project is dedicated to getting to the bottom of the Trump/Russia story.

Courtesy of Slate: 

With Reid no longer in the Senate, Jentleson now works full time to understand and publicize the Trump-Russia story. In February, he helped found the Moscow Project at the CAP Action Fund, an arm of the Center for American Progress. With a staff of five that will soon double to 10, the project is part clearinghouse, part think tank, and part private investigation agency; it recently hired a Russian-speaking forensic accountant from a high-profile firm. Its website keeps track of the ever-expanding story of the scandal and its key players, while its staffers brief members of Congress and compile reports on matters related to the Trump-Russia nexus. They try to coordinate experts across fields—including money laundering and counterintelligence—to get the clearest possible picture of what is happening with the scandal and the investigation. “There are so many different angles that there’s not one person who knows everything,” said Jentleson’s Moscow Project colleague Max Bergmann, a former member of the State Department’s policy planning staff.

“You don’t have to believe that Trump is a full-on agent of Russian intelligence to believe that what’s already been established about his connections is deeply troubling,” Jentleson said. “Especially when you combine them with the policy positions that he’s taking towards Russia.” Yet because there’s still so much that we don’t know about Trump and Russia, and so much deliberate misinformation floating around, it’s easy for anyone tracking all the connections to fall into paranoid rabbit holes. For Jentleson and his colleagues, part of the work of the Moscow Project is to limn a possible conspiracy without falling into conspiracy theorizing. “Everything that comes out of our project has been vetted through CAP’s team of policy experts, and frankly our legal team,” he said.

Well I think this seems like a more than worth endeavor.

And who knows, they might actually get to the truth of this story before any of the many investigations manage to bring the revelations to light.

P.S. By the way Teen Vogue of all people has a really comprehensive timeline for the Russian story.

It is a good resource for keeping everything in perspective, and remembering what happened when.

    Boy, the Republicans (media/TV) are sure pushing that there is no evidence or proof of Trump's tie to Russia.

    It was talked about on two outlets during the night to include CNN.

    Why isn't more proof being provided by the Democratic party and the media? I don't understand it.

      What do you expect from a family of low achievers and inbreds? And I don't say that jokingly. Poor junker kid. I wonder at what age those little girls start "losing their panties". Poor junker kid. Child predators.

    ot?" Georgia, for instance, where the special election between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel has become the most expensive House race in history, conducts no vote audit and relies on electronic voting machine manufactured by a company that no longer exists."
