ABC (Australia) Covers the Russian Connection Pt2

Part Two of ABC Austraila's coverage of the Russian Connection focuses on attempts by Russian intelligence to recruit assets within the Trump campaign's inner circle that caused a former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, to inform the FBI about the espionage efforts. The tip prompted the agency to begin a counter-espionage investigation.  After MacOrange fired the FBI director in an attempt to block the inquiry, a Special Counsel was appointed. Is Trump a criminal "genius" or merely a useful idiot? The turmoil and distrust created by the subsequent investigations into the Russian Connection and offical firings make Vladimir Putin the only clear winner so far.
