Ep. 8 | Sean Davis Reveals How The Federalist Cracked Russiagate

In Ep. 8, Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers speak with The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis about The Federalist’s Dow Prize–winning investigation that dismantled the Russia-collusion narrative. Davis recounts early red flags surrounding the Steele dossier, CNN’s role as “patient zero,” and James Comey’s long history of manipulative tactics. He details how the media, intelligence agencies, and political operatives worked in tandem to perpetuate the hoax, destroy Michael Flynn, and target outlets like The Federalist through censorship and financial pressure. The conversation also exposes the incestuous ties within Washington’s media ecosystem and warns that the same global censorship and political-lawfare forces remain active and poised to intensify.
