February 7 2016, Alexander Torshin attends National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Presumably, to arrange money from Russia via the NRA, for the now winning Trump Campaign.
February 10 2016, Erickson forms Bridges, LLC w Maria Butina, & claimed the firm was established for Butina's $ assistance at American Uni. It's unknown why they paid to expedite the incorporation. My theory: the FSB were rushing them in response to Trump sweeping the primaries.

April 26 2016, Joseph Mifsud returns from Moscow to London, and informed George Papadopoulos that the Kremlin had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.
April 27 2016, Papadopoulos emails Stephen Miller, “I have some interesting messages coming in from Moscow about a trip when the time is right".

May 3 2016, Donald Trump wins the Indiana primary. Ted Cruz suspends his campaign, making Donald Trump the presumptive nominee.

5/20/16, The NRA endorses Trump. The first time in its history, the NRA has endorsed a presidential candidate before he has received the party nomination.
