If you think back to election night last November and Mr Trump's moment of victory, parties were thrown in swanky Moscow cafes, and the State Duma held a standing ovation. They had exactly the outcome they wanted. Yet this week, Mike Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador led to his downfall, while the Defence Secretary, James Mattis, said he had no doubt Moscow had been interfering in American affairs.
