The King of the GOP Assholes IS a goddamn treasonous Russian asset.
From Raw Story:
The White House recently declassified a report confirming that the FBI opened a formal investigation into whether Trump was acting as a Russian asset when he fired former FBI Director James Comey during his first term.
That investigation even had its own name: Oxferd Comma. It was folded into the larger Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which was the name for the probe into the whether Russia influenced Trump’s 2016 campaign.
One unnamed administration official said there was no evidence to back up the theory when discussing the declassified documents. That official told CBS News the case was marked sensitive, which is a typical designation when attempting to keep an investigation off the books from other agents. That same source said that agents who opened it believed it was the least intrusive way to address what they viewed as a serious national security concern.
Oxferd Comma eventually got rolled into then-Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s larger investigation and was eventually found to have no merit.
Comey’s 2017 firing is what set the entire Mueller probe in motion. The White House initially blamed Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation for his dismissal, though Mueller’s own report said Trump was actually frustrated that Comey didn’t publicly clear him of the allegations about Russian collusion.
Mueller documented several contacts between key Trump campaign figures and Russian-linked operatives, though he stopped short of saying there was direct collusion between Trump and the Russian government.
Trump has continued to refer to Comey as a “dirty cop” and has accused multiple federal agencies of running corrupt investigations against him. Comey has called Trump “morally unfit” for office. Earlier this year, Comey was indicted for allegedly threatening Trump’s life by posting an image of seashells on social media that spelled out “8647,” with “86” symbolizing a restaurant term to get rid of a menu item, and “47” referring to Trump’s second administration. Comey said the charge is vindictive prosecution, though the Trump Justice Department maintains it’s a serious investigation.
