Isikoff and Corn seemed able to sort out most of the details about the Russian story, although the investigation continues to this day, and until the Muller investigation concludes, we still may not know all the answers. We have seen several Trump associates like Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, and George Papadopoulos indicted or convicted of related crimes.

Papadopoulos also reportedly tried to set up meetings between Russian and Trump campaign officials on various occasions. Additionally, a number of Russian individuals and officials have been indicted by the Muller team for interfering in the 2016 election.

Isikoff and Corn detail some of the reasons the Russians may have wanted to hack the Democratic Party information, some of the many individuals in the Trump circle investigated and indicted, and the probable impact of the Russian meddling. They also discuss the weaknesses in the Hillary Clinton campaign, the cloud of her private email server, and the impact of the 11th-hour Comey announcement of re-opening the FBI investigation of her emails just before the election and as news broke of Trumps "pussy-grabbing" of women.
