How Hillary's Steele Dossier Made it to the DOJ
FrontPageMag.com ^ | December 8, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 12/09/2017 1:31:40 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

We know how the Steele dossier, funded by Hillary, provided by the Russians and arranged by Fusion GPS and their British contact, made it into the FBI. The intriguing question though had been how it made to the DOJ. Because Obama Inc. didn't just want the investigation they have now. They were also looking to eavesdrop and unmask Trump associates. They wanted this to look like a legitimate investigation.

And that meant the dossier had to be seeded across law enforcement.

Now we have a partial answer.

The department's Bruce Ohr, a career official, served as associate deputy attorney general at the time of the campaign. That placed him just below the deputy attorney general, Sally Yates, who ran the day-to-day operations of the department...

Unbeknownst to investigators until recently, Ohr knew Steele and had repeated contacts with Steele when Steele was working on the dossier. Ohr also met after the election with Glenn Simpson, head of Fusion GPS, the opposition research company that was paid by the Clinton campaign to compile the dossier.

Word that Ohr met with Steele and Simpson, first reported by Fox News' James Rosen and Jake Gibson, was news to some current officials in the Justice Department. Shortly after learning it, they demoted Ohr, taking away his associate deputy attorney general title and moving him full time to another position running the department's organized crime drug enforcement task forces.

We’re now getting to the embedded moles.

It will be great to see a Jim Jordan interrogate this little worm, but probably unnecessary. At this point, the entire Mueller frame up operation is exposed and has no more legitimacy.

I seem to remember that McCain sent someone to Europe to pick up this report and delivered it to the FBI? Am I remembering correctly?

Remember when the story was that McCain gave it to them? Let me remind folks of what Hillary told us in one of her post election interviews. “We literally BEGGED them to investigate.”

I think Hillary gave it to them.

Al Capone never sold pardons or Uranium, or operated sham charities.

A man of much higher integrity than Hillary Clinton.

McCain gave them a copy of the dossier, to provide a cover story for why they already had it. Hillary’s agents in the FBI and DoJ likely either initiated the concept or were following orders, which included guiding Steele and Simpson on what to include to make it fill the FISA bill.

Trump dossier: Secret sources, an airport handoff and John McCain

https://www.irishtimes.com/.../trump-dossier-secret-sources-an-airport-handoff-and-jo...

Jan 11, 2017 - Explosive but uncorroborated material delivered to FBI chief by Republican grandee. ... Republican senator John McCain, who passed on unverified intelligence documents about US president-elect Donald Trump to the FBI. ... He delivered his reports, but the gravity of their contents weighed on him.

“I seem to remember that McCain sent someone to Europe to pick up this report and delivered it to the FBI? Am I remembering correctly?”

Yes, you are right. McCain of course hates Trump and wanted him to lose. So Hillary’s campaign needed a useful idiot that was a Republican to get the Steele report over to the FBI to try to give their opposition research some legitimacy not as opposition research but as some objective independent investigation that was introduced to the FBI by a Republican. Enter the useful idiot

Great. Was it illegal? Will anybody be held accountable?

Depends on how they characterized the “evidence”, and what they knew about the source of the dossier, who paid for it, and why. If they told the FISA court it was actual intelligence without disclosing who paid for it, and why, then it’s perjury and/or false swearing.

Distorting evidence by non-disclosure is a big no-no in a court as you know. FISA court themselves should be hopping mad right about now because they got suckered in the view of the public, even if they were somewhat witting co-conspirators.
