VCoF: Alexander Downer - Was he responsible for Crossfire Hurricane kicking off?

Alexander Downer is NOT a well loved ex australian politician. He is remember most for his pompous public & private persona - his wearing of fishnet stockings, his love of self and his ability to make himself look important .... BUT - he is he also responsible for supplying information to the FBI that started the Crossfire Hurricane investigation - predicated on nothing but his desire to have a seat at the FBI table ?
