The Justice Department has subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey amid ongoing criminal probes into alleged misconduct in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, raising questions about the report’s rushed production and credibility. Alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, Comey faces scrutiny over possible false statements to Congress and efforts to include the Steele dossier, widely regarded by the CIA as unreliable, in the assessment. The investigations, spurred by a criminal referral from ex-CIA Director John Ratcliffe, now cast a shadow over the integrity of the Russiagate narrative and its origins.

Russian Submarine K-141 Kursk Sinks in Barents Sea (2000)August 12, 2026
While completing naval exercises with dummy torpedoes on August 12, 2000, the Russian submarine Kursk suffered two explosions two minutes and 15 seconds apart. The second explosion registered about a 3.5 on the Richter scale. The blasts destroyed the front hull, and all 118 crew members died. It was initially believed that the entire crew died quickly. However, what evidence later suggested that some survived in another area of the submarine for about four hours after the explosions?

James Buchanan "Diamond Jim" Brady (1856)August 12, 2026
Financier and philanthropist "Diamond Jim" Brady exemplified the American Dream.

What was supposedly a typical meal for Brady?
