"Congressional investigators know that Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign, kept supplying allegations to the FBI after the 2016 election — and even after he was terminated as a source by the bureau for giving confidential information to the media.
Because he had broken his agreement with the FBI, bureau procedure did not allow agents to keep using Steele as a source. But they did so anyway — by devising a system in which Steele spoke regularly with Bruce Ohr, a top Obama Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, which hired Steele to search for dirt on Donald Trump in Russia. Ohr then passed on Steele’s information to the FBI.
In a highly unusual arrangement, Ohr, who was the fourth-highest ranking official in the Justice Department, acted as an intermediary for a terminated source for the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe. His task was to deliver to the FBI what Steele told him, which effectively meant the bureau kept Steele as a source.
Agents made a record of each time Ohr gave the bureau information from Steele. Those records are in the form of so-called 302 reports, in which the FBI agents write up notes of interviews during an investigation.
There are a dozen 302 reports on FBI post-election interviews of Ohr. The first was Nov. 22, 2016. After that, the FBI interviewed Ohr on Dec. 5; Dec. 12; Dec. 20; Jan. 23, 2017; Jan. 25; Jan. 27; Feb. 6; Feb. 14; May 8; May 12; and May 15. The dates, previously unreported publicly, were included in a July letter from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to the FBI and Justice Department.
The ‘Rats colluded with the Brits?
Sign up a Special Persecutor!
I would love to see the “bonuses” that Mrs. Ohr received for this special access to her husband. This is another Demon-rat pay for play scheme. Ohr is the one who should be on trial.
When Trey Gowdy subpoenas Nellie Ohr, that's it.
Now we need to know who gave Ohr the authority to keep using Steele after the FBI (who “ran” him?) cut ties to him.
This is a serious breech of professional etiquette, operating procedures, or both. OHR now becomes a much more important player in this whole Clinton/DNC/Fusion GPS, Yahoo and Comey cabal of subversion.
Also, his wife Nancy is another key player since she worked for everybody at one time, and perhaps she was a secret contact to Steele or for Steele, or both. If there was any “Russian collusion”, who better than she (a Russia expert) and Steele (a British MI-6 intelligence agent) to set it up with their contacts in Russia.
Lots of important questions to be asked and if the Ohrs refuse to cooperate, cite them for contempt of Congress, immediately take away their security clearances (if she still has any), and put them before a grand jury where a refusal to answer its questions will send them to jail for the life of that grand jury.
If there are any domestic traitors in this affair, re the subversion and removal of a sitting US president, then count the Ohrs in the middle of it, along with Weissman, Comey, Yates, Strzok/Page, and the other well known “usual suspects”.
