The Daily Herold: 4/21/26 - Declassified Election Memo, SPLC Probe & FISA Fight
Description
Jon Herold is feeling good today, and for once it is because of actual documents. A newly declassified intelligence memo from 2020 confirms that US agencies warned the president about foreign adversary capabilities to manipulate voting infrastructure, including the bombshell admission that results could be manipulated across enough states to influence a presidential election. Jon breaks down what the document actually says, why the intelligence community buried it, and what it might mean for the RICO grand conspiracy case going forward. He also covers the Southern Poverty Law Center now facing a DOJ criminal probe over its paid informant program, Virginia voters deciding on a Democrat-backed gerrymandering amendment, The Onion making yet another bid to take over InfoWars, and the national debt quietly crossing $39 trillion while everyone was looking elsewhere. Plus: FISA reauthorization is back in chaos, a four-star admiral just told Congress that Bitcoin has serious national security value, Trump invokes the Defense Production Act for energy, and Jon has thoughts on NFL draft picks that nobody asked for but everyone should hear.
