Details about Justice Department official Bruce Ohr's meetings with the author of the salacious anti-Trump dossier were shared by Ohr with his expansive circle of contacts inside the department -- including senior FBI leadership and officials now assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Fox News has learned.

Ohr gave a closed-door transcribed interview last August sharing details of his 2016 meetings with British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who authored the dossier later used to secure a surveillance warrant for a Trump campaign aide. The interview was part of the Republican-led House Oversight and Judiciary Committee probes.

In a series of questions about his meetings with Steele, including one on July 30, 2016, and who he shared the information with, Fox News has confirmed the Ohr transcript stated: “Andy McCabe, yes and met with him and Lisa Page and provided information to him. I subsequently met with Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and eventually (an FBI agent). And I also provided this information to people in the criminal division specifically Bruce Swartz, Zainab Ahmad, Andrew Weissmann.”

“Andy” is Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director and acting director who left the bureau after the DOJ Inspector General concluded he lied about his role in a media leak about the Clinton Foundation on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. His case is now with the U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page, whose anti-Trump texts emerged after the election, left the bureau last year.

I believe Mueller's job was to create a time line to cover the a**** of the FBI and CIA and not to charge Trump with anything since that would cause a second look see into Mueller's cache of information, some of which has likely "disappeared".

It's not over.

Mueller’s job is to bury any and all evidence against any Obama officials and especial;y Hilliary and the top FBI / DOJ people.................

The hosts on Red Eye Radio were all over this, this morning. This testimony confirms that McCabe, Mueller, Strock, Page, et al, knew about the lies before applying for the FISA warrant. (for the third time)
Chris Plante is on it now.

Just wait till Woodward & Bernstein get a hold of this information! Why I bet the Washington Post will be running one article after another about the corruption from obama and the clintons and the FBI etc.

They may even get a book deal and a movie out of this.....

I heard on the radio yesterday that Bernstein or was it Woodward were upset that another reporter was writing about how their boss at the Washington Post thought there meeting in the parking garage and other details were not true. In short made up like we have since found from later stories they did individually like the CIA guy who was in a coma and on his death bed but some how came out of it to talk to the reporter but not family members.
