The Daily Herold: 8/10/26 - The March Toll Probe and Comey's Suspiciously Timed Sessions Investigation
Description
Jon Herold kicks off Monday digging into newly declassified documents showing the FBI opened an investigation into Jeff Sessions, codenamed "March Toll," the day after James Comey was fired, arguing the timing exposes a deliberate effort to prolong the Russia collusion narrative. He tracks down old McCabe congressional testimony while building out his own timeline connecting the Sessions probe to the previously covered "Oxford comma" investigation and the broader weaponized intelligence community storyline. Other topics include Trump's Truth Social posts demanding compensation from Iran for war damages, a Politico style piece on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's balancing act on interest rates, a look at AI generated video games disrupting the industry, and Minnesota's primary ballot featuring some unusually named candidates. Sponsor reads, a recap of the Jupiter, Florida meetup he missed, and a lively chat session round out a document heavy Monday show.
