BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: This morning, the White House Government Transparency Task Force released newly declassified documents exposing an FBI criminal investigation code-named Oxferd Comma. The documents can be downloaded here.
These documents show the FBI criminally investigated President Donald Trump beginning in May 2017 on the theory that he was acting as a Russian agent when he fired ex-FBI Director James Comey for mishandling the Clinton email case.
At the time the FBI opened this probe its agents had already debunked the Steele dossier. Agents had already cleared Mike Flynn of collusion. Pete Strzok wrote Lisa Page there was ‘no big there, there.’ The bureau was alerted Carter Page was a CIA asset and not a Russian stooge.
And one of the lead agents on the case, William Barnett, had concluded he had seen no evidence of Russian collusion and wanted off the case because the investigation had become a bad game of Clue. And despite all that, the FBI still opened Oxferd Comma and used it as part of a campaign to get Special Counsel Robert Mueller appointed.
Remarkably, the man who knew the real reason why Comey was fired for violating DOJ policy in the Clinton probe — then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — allowed the case to go forward and authorized Mueller’s appointment.
Download the documents and read them here. The task force not only released the documents that President Trump and White House Counsel Dave Warrington graciously declassified but also assembled a stack of prior evidence that contradicted Oxferd Comma’s predicate for criminally investigating a sitting president.
