“Trump was right when he said the he could kill someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single vote. That’s because a large minority of Americans would be happy living under fascism (while claiming to be patriots). These knuckle-dragging trump monkeys have an excuse for all his lies, crimes and...”Read full review »

“I know it’s a podcast and would be ridiculous to try to fit every bit of detail, but this definitely attempts to frame the Crossfire scandal as not an illegal investigation into the trump campaign. The journalist attempts to sound neutral. He’s definitely anti-Trump, which is fine on a personal...”Read full review »

“I thought this was a really good podcast. Good storytelling and I learnt loads I didn’t know before. Episodes not too long either.”

“Hands up, I don’t agree with much of the Telegraph’s politics, but I do respect a lot of its writing, especially around Business and Sport. I also enjoyed the Crossfire pod. This, however, is just an ar$e-licking exercise for “good old Nige”. A man who imho is a traitor to this country and who...”Read full review »

“In light of recent releases of FBI information concerning Crossfire, Russian Collusion and General Flynn, it appears that this podcast is total garbage and the journalist is spinning a narrative that has unraveled!”

“So far, it sounds like he is taking the Democrat’s line. Podcast is well done and easy to listen to but he has definitely taken the bait hook, line, and sinker. I will keep listening and hope he tells BOTH sides of the story!
Well, I kept listening and unfortunately it is riddled with MSM...”Read full review »

“The reporter in this pod cast tries to set himself up as some sort of Watergate style, understated superhero who chips away to get to “the truth”. He takes 6 episodes to find that he can’t make a conclusion due to lack of evidence.
And as for delivery; I honestly drifted off a few times while...”Read full review »

“I suffered through all 6 episodes hoping that I would gain some objective insight into the issues.
Stop the spin! Stop the rhetorical questions.
Episode 6 was the final straw. Thank God it was the last one.
What a complete waste of time.”

“Very cursory overview of the entirety of the Russia and Spygate scandals, as if it were written at the end of 2018. So much more information now available that sheds new light on the FBI misfeasance and malfeasance.
Don’t waste your time.”

“Decided I’d wasted enough of my time on this breathless nonsense a little over halfway thru episode two. The host’s conclusions are quite jaw dropping in their utter delusion. What an unserious, curiously incurious journalistic hack Riley-Smith is, given all that we know now, of which Ben is...”Read full review »
