AdvertisementIn May 2017, mere days after President Donald J. Trump removed James Comey as FBI director, the bureau launched a full criminal investigation codenamed “Oxferd Comma.” Prior to Oxferd Comma’s launch, FBI personnel had spent nearly a year chasing the Trump-Russia fantasy. One of these agents, Peter Strzok, texted a colleague the same week that Oxferd Comma began, admitting his “gut sense” that there was “no big there there.” CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and FBI Director Comey on that scheme in early August. The Oxferd Comma files prove the pattern.
