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

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.

It is maddening to hear, in reference to the DOJ and the FBI’s use of the dossier, the passive phrase “it is wrong” or “it is worse that Watergate.” It is, at the least, an attempt to steal an election, which is treason, and at its worse, an attempted coup against the government and people of the United States.

Interesting...can't tell if Sam and Andrew McCabe are related, but note the last sentence of his bio for his work at the DNC...

I recruited and managed the following teams of data analysts and data engineers:

But then it is blank, like he "cut" the list of "associates", which would also likely include Seth Rich.

We will know we are getting closer when the bodies start piling up from mysterious deaths, suicides, botched robberies, hunting accidents, bathtub electrocutions...

"Robert Mueller team was granted a sealed order to access banking data of @realDonaldTrump. Banks are co-operating. Data sets have been delivered. Data mining for criminal activity is in progress. Bank denial due to gagging orders. Team Clinton aiming for impeachment in 2018."

Entertaining...

Though I think I still have an account, I don't twit.

scratchin my head over this one. I don’t see any event dates in the article.
What exactly is meant by “DOJ” ? anybody not in FBI\CIA\DNI\DHS ?

We know the FBI had the dossier earlier(July 2016) than the McCain handoff.(December 2016)
We know the dossier was in MSM hands at least by July 2016.
CIA gets involved Aug. 2016.

By this time, how in the name of Randolph Scott does DOJ not know the FBI had it ?
(Remember, there were 16 versions of the dossier according to Steele )

here’s a couple of half-way decent timelines that compliment each other.with no mention of DOJ.

Was McCain’s courier a member of the senator’s staff or an employee of the McCain institute?

His mother’s name was apparently Teresa.
