Last year, Donald Trump drew some red lines for freshly appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller, suggesting that it would be out of bounds for Trump to look into the finances of the Trump Organization. It was a boundary that Mueller began to test immediately.

FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings, Trump’s involvement in a controversial SoHo development with Russian associates, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, the person said.

GOP Representatives have proposed several pieces of legislation that would limit the range of Mueller’s investigation. In particular, they’ve seemed eager to limit the ability of the special counsel to look back beyond Trump’s official entry into the race. Which would seem to call for a quick timeline:

2011—Donald Trump talks about running for president … again.

2012—Trump copyrights “Make America Great Again.”

2013—Trump spends his infamous “golden” weekend in Moscow

2014—Russia launches its efforts to distort the 2016 election.

2015—Trump announces his official candidacy.

2016—Hijinks

That timeline leaves out Trump’s lucky sale of a tear-down property for more than twice its market value, or his dealings with Bayrock to build Trump SoHo, or the Russian money laundering ring that was working from inside Trump Tower, or the desperate collapse of his casino business in Atlantic City. But all of that, particularly the massive failure and bankruptcy, was kind of a big deal.

Ever since a series of bankruptcies left banks unwilling to lend to him, Donald Trump has been on the lookout for partners willing to fund the buildings that bear his name.

And he found them.
