Wow - amazing timeline – brings it all together. It reads like a spy novel. I think you should receive a WTFulitzer!

Do you think “Organization 1” is Wikileaks? If so, this proves that Julian Assange is not some “cyber hero,” but a traitor to western democracies and we need to hold him accountable for his crimes.
Also (again assuming this is Wikileaks), we need to find out if Trump knew about these communications between Wikileaks and Russian Intelligence. During the campaign Trump kept saying how much he loved Wikileaks – if he knew they were acting on behalf of Russian Intelligence, that means Trump was also acting on behalf of Russian Intelligence. Saying he loved Wikileaks was tantamount to saying he loved Russian Intelligence.

@dragonfly9 Of course, of course they would move on Rosenstein. They have no other moves aside from admitting that they wrongly placed their faith in Donald Trump, who is a major focus of a Federal Counterintelligence Investigation.

Questions are surfacing about whether the July 27th 2016 pronouncement about…“Russia of you are listening…” was an inquiry by T, or a message to hackers to proceed, or just an acknowledgement that the request had already been made.
The gaps we have in knowing what were the true intentions of the Prez, remain a mystery until we are further along with more indictments.
Trump Invited the Russians to Hack Clinton. Were They Listening?
In a news conference in July 2016, Donald J. Trump made a direct appeal to Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails and make them public.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, referring to emails Mrs. Clinton had deleted from the private account she had used when she was secretary of state. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
As it turns out, that same day, according to a sweeping 29-page indictment unsealed Friday by the special counsel’s office that charged 12 Russians with election hacking.
The indictment did not address the question of whether the Russians’ actions were actually in response to Mr. Trump. It said nothing at all about Mr. Trump’s request for help from Russia — a remark that had unnerved American intelligence and law enforcement officials who were closely monitoring Russia’s efforts to influence the election.

Very true…
In this indictment the DOJ notes that this was the first time the hackers went after her personal server in her personal office. It’s different from the previous attacks, that only infiltrated members of the campaign.

I agree that this was the first direct hack, but the question as to whether the conspirators (DJT not named, only a member associated with T campaign, but he could be of course) were
A) acting in response to that televised request
or
B) had already received orders from T or the Conspirators…
Or
C) Just hacking because Putin wanted them to.
Version A & B are similar, but it questions the setting up of said hack. Nuanced, but pundits are questioning hypothetically how it was set up.
It’s probably one of the most remarkable parts of the indictment because of the overall appearance. It’s very suggestive that these instances are linked. The added phrase of “first-time”, is interesting, even though there are many firsts in this document.
There real money is in this language.
The pundits will have a field day with this one.

Anyone know who this “reporter” may be?

The Daily Beast says it’s Lee Stranahan, a former Breitbart reporter – and Stranahan himself is also claiming via Twitter that he is the referenced reporter. See the Twitter link in the quotation below.
Mueller’s indictment also alludes to [Lee] Stranahan, saying Guccifer 2.0 sent stolen documents about Black Lives Matter to a reporter on Aug. 22, 2016. Stranahan on Twitter said he was that reporter.

Summary sentence -Will Trump Keep Pushing Putin's Lies About Attacking America?
The indictment illuminates how the Kremlin did exactly what Trump is loathe to admit it did. Time will tell if, when it comes to Russian hacking, he will change his tune.
Wow, what a coincidence: a few months after Lee Stranahan received the stolen documents from Guccifer 2.0 (aka Russian Military Intelligence), he went to work for Sputnik, a Russian government-controlled news agency.
April 5, 2017:
“I’m on the Russian payroll now, when you work at Sputnik you’re being paid by the Russians,” former Breitbart investigative reporter Lee Stranahan told me. “That’s what it is. I don’t have any qualms about it. Nothing about it really affects my position on stuff that I’ve had for years now.”
I wonder if Stranahan was also on the Russian payroll back in August, 2016, when the Russians gave him those stolen documents.

I didn’t realize how open these Florida Republicans were about accepting and using leaked documents provided to them by Guccifer 2.0. I missed that earlier reporting.
Almost as soon as the indictment was released Friday, Florida Republicans, Democrats and even allies of Mast speculated that the congressman’s campaign was likely implicated — in great part because a former campaign consultant for Mast admitted last year to The Wall Street Journal and then to POLITICO that he used some of the hacked information in 2016.
Nevins, another Republican consultant and blogger, separately became involved with Guccifer 2.0 when he saw news reports of its information and an invitation for reporters to get the hacked information. Under his @HelloFLAnews account, he direct-messaged Guccifer 2.0 on Twitter and on Aug. 22 received “approximately 2.5 gigabytes of data stolen from the DCCC,” according to the indictment. “The stolen data included donor records and personal identifying information for more than 2,000 Democratic donors.”
“Basically if this was a war, this is the map to where all the troops are deployed,” Nevins wrote Guccifer 2.0. “This is probably worth millions of dollars.”
Nevins told POLITICO on Friday that the sheer size of the information was daunting. “I was like, holy s—, this is a lot of information, and I tried to farm it out to reporters. So District 18 [the Mast race], I sent information to TC Palm.” TC Palm is a local newspaper in the district that covers Florida’s Treasure Coast.
The article is a little difficult to follow – it’s kind of a mashup. Tomorrow I’m going to try to sort this out.

Alot to digest … of all the comments I haven’t seen anyone question FOX News on their use of data from Guccifer or contact from Guccifer? Has anyone seen any mention of FOX?
