🚨BREAKING: Declassified FBI memos show the bureau opened a secret probe on President Trump himself in May 2017 — codenamed "Oxferd Comma" — alleging he was a Russian asset for firing Comey. Signed off by FBI GC James Baker and counterintel chief Bill Priestap. McCabe and Rosenstein were told. It triggered Mueller. The problem was they already knew Russian collusion was dead. Agent Barnett: by early '17, "no evidence of collusion" by Flynn, Page, or Papadopoulos. He called the whole probe "Collusion Clue" — pick any person, any activity, call it evidence. Steele's own subsource Danchenko was suspected of being a Russian asset — and told the FBI his info was hearsay. 3 days after Oxferd Comma opened, lead agent Strzok texted Lisa Page: "no big there there." The collusion case was dead so they pivoted to obstruction — using Comey's firing as the new pretext to keep the investigation alive. Nearly a decade later and many Democrats still won't acknowledge how the FBI and DOJ weaponized a hoax about Trump colluding with Russia to try to take down the sitting Republican president.
