The White House government transparency office, John Solomon, has declassified and released FBI internal documents surrounding their opening of an investigation of Jeff Sessions on May 10, 2017.   The investigation of Sessions surrounded his contact with the Russian ambassador Sergey Lavrov and was opened the day after James Comey was fired on May 9, 2017.

Several people have questioned the naming of the FBI investigation as “March Toll,” however, the essential aspects to the nonsense investigation stemmed from corrupt DOJ and FBI insiders (the ‘small group’) who were strategizing on a way to force Jeff Sessions to recuse himself.  That planning took place in March, hence the term ‘March Toll.’

[SOURCE – Declassified Release]

Jeff Sessions was confirmed as Attorney General on February 9, 2017.  Almost immediately the group in charge of the Crossfire Hurricane (Trump-Russia) investigation began planning on a way to force Sessions to recuse himself.  Ultimately they were worried that Sessions would tell the FBI to end their ridiculous Trump-Russia investigation, so they needed the Attorney General isolated.

CTH previously wrote about the campaign to recuse Jeff Sessions {GO DEEP}.  The original planning meetings took place on March 2, 2017, and were attended by Jody Hunt, Dana Boente, Tashina Guahar, Jim Crowell and Scott Schools.  All of those names are directly connected to the manipulation of the Trump-Russia investigation therein and thereafter.

The day after James Comey was fired, on May 10th, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was immediately on the phone with Robert Mueller to organize the Mueller special counsel investigation.  As you can see from the opening EC, this was also the same day the FBI triggered the ‘March Toll’ investigation of Jeff Sessions.

Senator Ron Johnson has begun releasing text messages from the government phone Anthony Fauci.   The first series of text messages pertain to concerns about vaccinating pregnant women.

Ron Johnson first release HERE, and the short text message portion is HERE.  While the majority of the government narrative was that vaccines were safe for pregnant women, the data showed something completely different.

The actual spontaneous abortion rate for women vaccinated in the first trimester was a stunning 82%. However, the CDC and healthcare administrators manipulated the data adding 700 women vaccinated in the third trimester to improve the statistics.   [SOURCE]

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, released one of the text chain messages obtained from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-issued cellphone which was produced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on August 5, 2026, in response to Chairman Johnson’s request.

“Methinks the lady doth protest too much”…

Slowly she builds her performance outrage, methodically working through the talking points afore her. Full dramatic acting on display. Lips pursed, bladed eyebrows angled, contempt tone triggered and the intent obvious.

NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya appears on CBS Face the Nation to discuss Mexican poop lettuce, Mexico poop peppers, Illegal Alien measles spread and the weaponized information from health ‘administrators’ around the COVID-19 vaccine.  Obviously, with Media Patron Saint Anthony Fauci facing scrutiny, Margaret Brennan defends Fauci as she would if the Lightbringer, Chicago Jesus was disrespected.  Combative video and Transcript below:

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We’re joined now by the Director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Good morning to you, doctor.

NIH DIRECTOR DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA: Good morning.

MARGARET BRENNAN: And we should mention you are also helping to run the CDC until the new director is sworn in as well.

DR. BHATTACHARYA: Until next Wednesday, yes.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Until next Wednesday. So let me ask you about a number of things that I think people at home are worried about, particularly around the food supply. The cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from Mexico is now in 15 states. There were two deaths this week due to it. Yesterday, USDA issued an alert for a range of products that may have salmonella, including meat and poultry. 27 states are affected by salmonella, possibly linked to jalapeños, but cilantro, red onion, avocado, also listed in the CDC notice. Albertsons, a grocery store, just recalled some items. There’s risk of salmonella in eggs in Texas, according to the CDC, and then you have the screwworm outbreak affecting beef. This is overwhelming for someone going into a grocery store right now. Why do they seem out of control?

I did not know this until I saw it mentioned on X (formerly Twitter).  When a company hires J1 student temporary or season employees, they do not have to pay the 7.5% FICA or Social Security tax on the wages.

If a company hires a seasonal American student, they have to pay the 7.5%. If the company hires a foreign student, they don’t.  This creates a perverse incentive for private equity firms, companies or corporations to hire foreign seasonal workers.  This is true, I checked it out.

[SOURCE – and IRS SOURCE – and Alternate Source]

Apparently, this is now the common approach within the hospitality industry to save money and increase profit from payrolls. Unfortunately, this approach puts young Americans at a disadvantage when seeking summer or short-term seasonal employment.

For fiscal Year 2025: The U.S. State Department processed 506,142 applications and successfully issued 451,803 J-1 visas.

Now, obviously there may be some regions or areas where there are not enough young people to fill the jobs.  However, if you do the math that 7.5% employer contribution saved is a lot of incentive for the corporation to avoid hiring seasonal American workers.

The biggest winner in the Michigan Senate primary was not Abdul El-Sayed, nor was it Republican Mike Rogers. The biggest winner was the background stakeholder who gains the most, the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Mike Rogers previously defended the CIA, FBI and Hillary Clinton State Department from scrutiny in the Benghazi mess that underpinned the entire 2016 election manipulation. {GO DEEP} Mike Rogers was Chair of the SSCI who wrote the fabricated report that covered for Clinton’s Benghazi mess.

Now the IC repays the favor.

Rogers is a shoo-in for a seat on the SSCI as soon as he wins the Michigan Senate Race. Michiganders have too much at home familiarity with the severe slop of Islamism that surrounds them; and while El-Sayed will carry the communist coalition, the daily reality on the ground in Michigan is too close for deflection. This one was well played by the IC.

MICHIGAN – Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s slugfest of a Democratic Senate primary … clinching the nomination in a close race over Rep. Haley Stevens and establishing a Midwest beachhead for a progressive left on the march this midterm cycle.

El-Sayed overcame a nearly $65 million onslaught of outside money and an establishment that had rallied around Stevens. Popular Gov. Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Stevens late last month — a move seen as a last-ditch effort to stop a rising El-Sayed.

If we cut to the chase, the greatest likelihood is the same intelligence unit responsible for the Nordstream pipeline bombing are the same intelligence unit responsible for the Leipzig Airport drones.  That would be Ukraine.

It appears the German government has learned its lesson from initially blaming Russia for Nordstream, as they now use the generic term “state actor” when describing the likely source.

BERLIN — German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has suggested a state actor was behind the explosive-laden drone that was found at Leipzig airport.

“We can’t rule out the possibility that foreign powers are behind this,” Dobrindt told public broadcaster ZDF Wednesday evening. “That will now be part of the investigation, but there are many indications pointing in that direction,” he said.

Dobrindt stopped short of naming Russia specifically in his statements but said that “a hybrid threat is evident” and that such threats do not originate from amateurs but are “often linked to foreign powers.”

[…] Leipzig Airport serves as a strategic hub for NATO, including for military transports to Ukraine. The airport is also international courier service DHL’s largest European air hub and serves as a temporary home for some Ukrainian Antonov aircraft, protecting them from Russian attacks. The armed drone was found just meters away from such a plane, said officials Wednesday. (read more)

I don’t like doing this, but it needs to be done.  People keep sending me this video; it is nonsense.  Steve Bannon and John Solomon broadcast a conversation targeting John Thune, Tom Cotton and Todd Blanche for obstructing the release of transcripts held in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).

What Solomon reports in this interview is disconnected from the process that exists.  Solomon wants the transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan released.  Fine, no problem. Except Solomon apparently doesn’t understand the process to gain declassification of an equity that is not within the executive branch.  The transcript is in the legislative branch.

There are separation of powers issues, equity issues and stakeholder issues that create a process that needs to be followed.  This is the same process that was used to gain the Michael Atkinson transcript from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).   Solomon and Joe diGenova can follow the process and succeed, just like I did. Or Solomon and diGenova can gnash their teeth, create outrage and fail.  WATCH (prompted):

This nonsense is why trusting John Solomon is a fool’s errand, and the reason why I have suspected Solomon of performance theater for several years. His teaming up with Steve Bannon, well, it just tracks.

Tick-Tock… Nothing. I digress.

First, assuming they have security clearances, John Solomon and/or Joe diGenova can ask SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton to let them read the Brennan transcript in the SSCI secured compartmented intelligence facility (scif).  There is nothing stopping them, or anyone else with a clearance, from reading the transcript; assuming Cotton would permit it (he would). That’s the first point.

An interesting story, that’s not too easy to find out about, indicates New Jersey has quietly taken down their state voter system for unknown reasons.

According to NJ 101.5 the various county election offices were caught off guard with a notice that simply said, “Please be advised that the NJ SVRS Production environment will be inaccessible through Tuesday,” KNOWiNK said.

“Please keep this in mind for scheduling purposes. You will be notified when the system becomes available. If there are changes to the timeline, a new update will be distributed.”

Last month the governor admitted 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in a single year from 2023 to 2024 {citation}.  No one is quite sure how many illegal aliens are registered in total, but the number is likely much higher. Perhaps the reason for taking down the system is related to this issue.

In a completely separate datapoint, the New Jersey Globe reported that 75,000 illegal aliens were summoned for jury duty.

About 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in New Jersey each year, based on data from three state government agencies, including the Motor Vehicle Commission — a stunning figure that widens the scope of a growing controversy over government databases that may incorrectly identify noncitizens as eligible voters and jurors. {citation}

The 75,000 illegal aliens summoned were from a total of around 1 million sent jury duty notifications.  There are currently 6.6 million registered voters in New Jersey.  If the calculation is applied that means up to 495,000 registered voters are noncitizens or illegal aliens.

Olha Stefanishyna says she resigned. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says she was removed.  Regardless of which storyline is accurate, the Ukraine Ambassador to the United States is no longer in position.  There is no replacement.

Stefanishyna is also under investigation for her connection with financial irregularities involving the Asset Recovery and Management Agency, although she has not been formally charged, yet.

The Western narrative, which has continuously looked like an intelligence community shaping, says that U.S. relations with the government of Ukraine have never been stronger.  The reality seems to be something else entirely.

Aug 3 (Reuters) – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, in a decree published on Monday.

Stefanishyna had been in her job for nearly a year. Her departure had been expected for several weeks.

Her departure coincides with a shake-up in recent weeks of top officials, including the replacement of the prime minister and defence minister. A reshuffle of Ukraine’s diplomatic and ambassadorial appointments is also expected.

Stefanishyna, writing on Facebook, said the decision to leave her post was “my own decision, driven by personal circumstances … ” and said she had accomplished much during her time in the post. (read more)

I am not going to belabor the points, because I’m told by most my review of the data is incorrect. However, once again, I would simply point out the distinct difference between the preferred Western narrative and the reality of events as they unfold.

The young man who boosted the public perception surrounding welfare, HHS and Medicare fraud in Minnesota, has travelled to Ceuta, Spain, to see for himself what exactly is going on.

There are various claims about causation and accusations surrounding the horde of 60,000 young male migrants who have swamped the city and created chaos. However, Mr Shirley asks them directly why they came and in general they say they just want a better life with the opportunity to reach mainland Spain.  It seems like the average age is 14 to 17-years old.

One of the interesting notes is with the Spanish man who helped to escort and guide Shirley.  At 14:50 when asked why Spanish politicians allow the border crisis and mass illegal migration, the man answers, in essence, 3rd world dictators have more absolute power than 1st world democracies. As a consequence, far-left ideologues who rise as leaders in politics see a greater value in having a subservient population for them to rule. Leftists don’t succeed in true democracies, so they need to create the new version of democracy where they can devolve the social structures of the nation and gain power.
