The Deep State's machinations against then-President Donald Trump continue to unravel, with newly declassified FBI memos exposing a particularly 'clever' — or rather, devious — maneuver by the bureau. These documents reveal the FBI launched an investigation into President Trump’s firing of James Comey under the suspiciously misspelled code name "Oxferd Comma," sparking intense speculation that the alteration was a deliberate attempt to evade transparency and accountability.
"The FBI under James Comey and Christopher Wray was hopelessly corrupt. To penalize President Trump’s firing of Comey, they created a ridiculous investigation into Trump on the theory he was a witting or unwitting Russian agent," Clark, who now serves as vice president of litigation at the Oversight Project, told Fox News Digital. This was a naked act of political revenge, thinly veiled as a national security probe.
Clark highlighted the sheer arrogance involved: "They called it OXFERD C0MMA (note the zero for the second ‘o’ and the misspelling of the University). The FBI managers thought this was clever. They imagined themselves as Blofeld in a James Bond movie deviously defeating the Freedom of Information Act." Such a comparison underscores the contempt for public oversight apparently harbored by those within the bureau's upper echelons.
Adding another layer to this alleged deception, Clark explained that after consulting with a document expert, it was confirmed that the first 'o' in "Comma" was, in fact, a zero, further obscuring the probe's true name and purpose.
The objectives of the "Oxferd Comma" case were alarmingly broad, seeking to determine whether Trump was "directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes." This grand conspiracy theory was the absurd premise for weaponizing federal power against a sitting President, launched just days after Trump exercised his executive authority to fire Comey in May 2017.
Clark further speculated, "Additionally, let me speculate that James Comey was well-known by his associates as liking Oxford commas, so they named the operation (clearly motivated by revenge in response to Trump firing Comey) as a hommage (Fr.) to their beloved Comey. But that doesn’t explain why it was deliberately misspelled as 'Oxferd.'" The implication is clear: the misspelling was not a tribute, but a calculated obfuscation.
The true motive, according to Clark, was to frustrate any attempts to uncover the investigation through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. A search for the correctly spelled "Oxford Comma" would likely yield no results, allowing the FBI to falsely claim that no responsive records existed. This is not just bad record-keeping; it's an alleged obstruction of public access and official proceedings.
"It should be investigated as an obstruction of justice. You know, some real obstruction of an official proceeding," Clark posted to X, echoing the sentiment of many who see this as a blatant abuse of power.
Even James Comey himself had a documented affinity for Oxford commas, as evidenced by a 2017 social media post about his memoir, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership." "Check the actual cover. I’m all about Oxford commas," Comey wrote, adding a layer of ironic personal connection to the probe's bizarrely altered name. This detail only strengthens the suspicion of a deliberate, personal, and retaliatory motive behind the "Oxferd Comma" designation.
When pressed for comment by Fox News Digital, the FBI sidestepped directly addressing the code name. However, Ben Williamson, assistant director of the FBI’s Office of Public Affairs, offered a striking admission: "The weaponization that occurred against President Trump under prior regimes was inexcusable and wholly un-American." He went on to highlight efforts to release documents exposing "similar malfeasance from former FBI leadership" and pledged that "any individual who is found to have acted unethically or engaged in weaponization has been or will be fired from the Bureau and held accountable under the law."
This belated acknowledgement from within the FBI itself confirms what America First patriots have long suspected: federal agencies were indeed weaponized against President Trump. The "Oxferd Comma" saga is a stark reminder that the fight for transparency, accountability, and justice against those who would subvert our institutions for political ends is far from over. Americans deserve to know the full extent of this bureaucratic subterfuge and to see those responsible held to account, ensuring such abuses of power never again tarnish the integrity of our nation’s law enforcement.
