During a relatively quiet Thanksgiving week, Trump’s former national security adviser Mike Flynn accounts for some interesting new entries on the Trump-Russia Timeline.

Here’s a list of what we added with our Nov. 27 update:

• July 1987: Trump’s Early Interest in Soviet Union Real Estate [revision of previous entry]
• Late 2004 through 2015: Manafort Travels to Moscow [revision of previous entry]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Another week; another Putin insider gets added to the list of known Russians in the Trump campaign’s orbit.
This time, it’s a Russian banker.
But there’s more…

The latest updates to our Trump-Russia Timeline:

• Nov. 16, 2013: Trump Announces Plans for Moscow Skyscraper
• Nov. 16, 2013: Russian Bank Announces $2.4 Billion Construction Loan for New Agalarov Development
• March 20, 2014: US Imposes Sanctions Against Russia Over Ukraine
• July 11, 2015: Russian Asks About Sanctions At Trump Rally
• May 19-22, 2016: Trump, Don Jr. and Torshin at the NRA
• Aug. 25, 2016: Clovis Becomes Trump Campaign National Co-Chair
• Sept. 20, 2016: WikiLeaks Tweets Anti-Trump Group’s Password
• June 2017: Akhmetshin and Kaveladze Meet in Moscow
• July 12, 2017: Emin Agalarov Tries to Recant Previously Published Interview in Forbes
• Mid-October 2017: Mueller Subpoenas Russia-Related Documents From Trump Campaign
• Nov. 14, 2017: Sessions Says That He Has Not Lied About Trump Campaign Contacts With Russia [Revision of previous entry]
• Nov. 16, 2017: Senate Judiciary Committee Complains About Kushner’s Incomplete Document Production
• Nov. 17, 2017: Trump Reportedly Now Paying Own Legal Bills

Jeff Sessions may be a slow-talker, but his latest congressional testimony shows he can turn on a dime:

From: “I didn’t remember” Papadopoulos’ Russia proposal at a meeting with Trump’s foreign policy team that Sessions chaired on March 31, 2016…

To: “I pushed back hard against it” after others recalled the plan.

Hmmmm…

And Mike Pence returns to the Timeline, explaining that when he laughed off the pre-election suggestion that the Trump campaign was in contact with WikiLeaks, he didn’t know what he was talking about.

It seems that every time someone asked any member of the Trump team about campaign contacts with Russia, the response was the same: lie and say that no such contacts occurred.

One-by-one, they’ve been caught with their “memories down.” According to The Washington Post, the claim of “zero” contacts was wrong. The correct number — so far — is 31, including 19 meetings — and counting.

We update our Trump-Russia Timeline regularly. More are coming this week.

Here’s a list of what we added with our Nov. 16 update:

• June 30, 2016: Page and Papadopoulos Attend Group Dinner With Sessions
• Sept. 8, 2016: Sessions Meets Russian Ambassador in His Senate Office
• Nov. 13, 2017: Pence Says He Didn’t Know About Don Jr./WikiLeaks Emails
