How Russiagate Changed America

In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith sits down with Hans Mahncke, attorney, author, and investigative journalist, to dissect the origins, motives, and aftermath of Russiagate-the political hoax that reshaped public trust, national security, and American democracy itself.

Mahncke traces how a narrative born inside the Hillary Clinton campaign intended to deflect from her own email scandal, morphed into a full-scale intelligence operation carried out by James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and other senior officials. “It started off as a campaign smear operation, and then it became a government operation,” Mahncke explains.

Together, Smith and Mahncke explore the devastating consequences of the hoax: the persecution of General Mike Flynn, the sabotage of President Trump’s first term, the criminalization of diplomacy with Russia, and the lasting damage to American institutions. “They not only hobbled Donald Trump’s presidency,” Smith observes, “but they badly hurt the country.”

This episode is a sobering look at how lies at the highest levels of power can alter a nation and a reminder that freedom demands vigilance, courage, and truth.

New episodes drop every Wednesday at 3 PM ET.
