On November 2, 2017, nearly six months after President Donald J. Trump fired him, former FBI Director James Comey tweeted about the cover of his forthcoming book and then added: “Check the actual cover.

On November 2, 2017, nearly six months after President Donald J. Trump fired him, former FBI Director James Comey tweeted about the cover of his forthcoming book and then added: “Check the actual cover. I’m all about Oxford commas.” At the time it looked like a corny sentiment from the former Director. In light of this week’s declassified documents, it looks like something else entirely.

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…Open

More details are emerging on how the FBI investigated whether President Trump acted under Russian influence following his dismissal of former FBI Director James Comey in 2017. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The White House has released documents showing the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation, codenamed Oxferd Comma [sic], after President Donald J.

According to an FBI memo dated May 16, 2017, investigators examined whether Trump was directed, controlled, or coordinated by the Russian government in a manner that threatened…Open
Documents declassified by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show the investigation – codenamed "Oxferd Comma" – was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey’s May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on allegations that the bureau’s own agents had mostly dismissed by that time.
