The CEO of The Federalist went on Fox News Monday evening and referred to the FBI as a “domestic terror organization” hours after special counsel John Durham’s bombshell report exposing the bureau’s decision to launch a probe into alleged “collusion” between Donald Trump and Russia was based on a lie put forth by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

“I think the most important thing you can gather from this report is that the FBI is a domestic terror organization,” Federalist CEO Sean Davis said on “Fox News Tonight.” “They use their power, they use their influence to try and lie, try to gaslight the American people, to try and rig an election. And I have a hard time looking at this and coming to any other conclusion than that the FBI has to be defunded because this wasn’t one or two rogue agents.

“This happened from the very top. This was directed from the very top all the way down and it was a lie and a coup against our government, against our democracy — a term Democrats love to use — perpetrated by our own government,” he said.
