Today we're joined for an emergency pod of sorts by the one and only Sean Davis CEO of the Federalist Sean.

Thanks for coming on.

Thanks for having me on, Emily.

Of course, this is like I said, an emergency pod of sorts because we got the Durham report yesterday,

Monday afternoon, it dropped with all kinds of juicy details from the investigation.

Sean, if we could just start from square one.

If you're talking to somebody, obviously you followed the story and you've broken news on the story for years.

But if you were explaining to somebody who had not followed the story, what the Durham report is, what the Durham investigation, the Special Consum investigation is, how would you explain it?

That's a great question.

I would describe it as an FBI led to against an entire political party and against the American people.

So what happened in 2016 is at the urging of the Hillary Clinton campaign, the FBI decided to assert itself into the presidential election by opening an investigation under false pretenses against Donald Trump as in his campaign, using lies that were given to it directly by the FBI.

The Clinton campaign and its contractors to get warrants to spy on Trump's campaign to spy on his campaign affiliates.

And they did this all in the hopes first of swinging the presidential election in 2016.

And when that failed, they transitioned to using the op that they had spun up to potentially end and at least cripple the entire Trump presidential administration.

And it involved honey traps, it involved human sources involved illegal spying.

And if you're familiar with water gates, which was kind of a two-bit break in by some random people affiliated with the CIA at the time, they were allegedly looking for dirt on Nixon's opponents.

Take that, just pump it full of steroids.
