ongressional 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.
.....Congressional investigators have read the Ohr-Steele 302s. But the FBI has kept them under tight control, insisting they remain classified and limiting access to a few lawmakers and staff. Congress is not allowed to physically possess copies of any of the documents......
.....Now, Grassley says there is "no continuing justification for the FBI to keep the documents secret." Grassley, who exercises oversight authority over the FBI, is formally challenging the bureau's decision to keep the Ohr-Steele 302s under wraps. Grassley's insistence has been met, unsurprisingly, with no cooperation from the FBI.
One small bit of the Ohr 302s has already been made public. The House Intelligence Committee, in its memo focusing on the FBI's application to the secret FISA court
Each day as more of the DOJ/FBI attempted coup of President Trump is revealed.
The more valid and outstanding was Travis McGee's jpg, which told us what was happening in the DOJ/FBI months before all of these emerging reports.
Months, ago Travis Mcgee started posting his Smug Thug shots of the seditionist thugs in the DOJ/FBI shown below.
Is Ohr's wife a commie agent? Is that what's going on here?
Trump’s presidency has shown us that what we grew up hearing - ‘In America, any child can grow up and become the President’, is no longer true.
Trump was able to win as an outsider because of a unique combination of his personal skills and tenacity, his personal wealth, and his fame. Despite all those things, the established powers have been relentless in trying to destroy him. They made the big mistake of not believing he could win, or they would have been more vicious before the election.
After his election they have been relentless in trying to neutralize and remove him. I’m fairly certain Trump has used his financial resources to protect himself - independent of what protections and resources his office as President provides him. I’m also fairly certain he has his own private investigatory capacity that helps him to protect himself from the intelligence agencies and Deep State.
That he or anyone else would need those personal resources is a testimony to how much our nation has lost its way.
I’m really growing tired of this crap. A coup d’etat nearly in plain sight, yet nothing is done about it.
That, plus nobody has the stones to throw the book at guilty insiders (e.g., Hillary, Comey, Obama, Ohr, etc.) and see that they go to jail. If that doesn’t happen soon, this Republic, and its Deep State, are toast. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.
“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.”
SOUNDS LIKE COLLUSION TO ME !
Whoa, I feel your pain...
Of course we now know they paid him 11 different times, even paid him after he was allegedly fired as a source.
Bttt.

“yet nothing is done about it”
Be careful with this.
Could be nothing’s being done. Could be everything’s being done.
From our perspective, it would look the same if Trump were doing it right.
If everything were being done behind the scenes to crush the coup, you would see none of it.
Final undeniable point: it’s not in Trump’s nature to be attacked and not fight back.
So be careful. All the complaining is exactly what the anti-Americans want you to do.
“I’m really growing tired of this crap. A coup d’etat nearly in plain sight, yet nothing is done about it.”...………..
I’m more angry than tired, angry that, as you stated, “nothing is being done about it.” People need to be shouting from the roof tops to make the Clintons and their ilk pay for what they did. Not “paying” in cash mind you, but in time, perhaps 20 or more years in the slam would do.
The battle will take place at the time and place of my choosing
.....DJT
I will gladly stand corrected if justice is finally served. But when you have everyone that I trust from the President to Jim Jordan to Tom Fitton saying that there’s no justice going on here, then I find it pretty hard to just rest easy assuming that good stuff is happening behind the scenes. So far, the more facts that come out, the more it seems that everything behind the scenes is even worse than what’s happening in public!
Smart men and women would seek God’s wisdom and direction in sorting this all out. He knows who did what, where, and when, and for how much and for what and why they did it.
Heavenly Father, I pray that all of this evil comes to the forefront and the perpetrators are brought to justice. In these end times may people come to know You as their Personal Savior and constantly seek Your Wisdom. In Jesus Name, Amen
I still haven’t lost faith in Sessions. Long before he became U.S. AG we called him the Silent Enforcer for a reason.
Look very carefully at the role of disinformation.
Remember how deep the deep state goes. Their webs and their tentacles are everywhere and throughout. Think about the role of foreign leaders. How many would start world war to save their deep state livelihoods?
How many innocent people could die? Would it be millions or billions?
Trump is the guy who will do this right, and is doing it right.
We we see things clearly in time.
And nothing will be done about it until our pusillanimous legislators are more afraid of us than they are of their puppeteer$, the media, their blackmailers.
The first conflict of the American Revolution might be said to be the result of the Stamp Act of 1765. In August of 1765, Andrew Oliver, the Crown's stamp agent in Boston was hung in effigy from the Liberty Tree and forced to resign his commission.
"What a greater Joy did ever New England see
Than a Stampman hanging on a Tree".
Lt. Gov Thomas Hutchinson, regarded by the colonists as much too cozy with the Crown agents, and the sheriff attempted to break up the crowd around midnight only to be driven off by a hail of stones and harsh commentary.
A couple of weeks later a crowd gathered and lit a bonfire on King St in Boston. They then moved on to the house of William Story, a Crown agent in the admiralty court. The crowd swarmed the house, destroying Story's papers and his furnishings as well as Court records held there.
The crowd then moved on to the home of Boston's Controller of Customs, Benjamin Hallowell. They tore down his fence, broke out his windows, stormed the house and stripped it of contents.
The next target of the night was Hutchinson's home. The Lt. Gov. had gotten warning and sent his family to safety. But his eldest daughter had returned and declared she would stay unless Hutchinson also departed. Hutchinson retreated with her to a neighbor's house. The crowd did its work again and left only a shell and a partial roof to greet the dawn.
Thus our ancestors met overreaching government. It was not the last battle but merely a beginning. There followed the Declaratory Act and the Townsend Acts and the Tea Act. Martial law and direct resistance pushed back and forth until "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" and then it was game on.
In 1774, John Malcolm was a Crown customs collector, based in Boston. At that time Boston had had five years of civic tension culminating in the Boston Massacre. Malcolm, like most Crown representatives didn't much like the Bostonians and harboured smouldering resentment against the uppity locals who had been resisting Crown authority since the Stamp Act in 1768. They made his job difficult. Malcolm had more reason than most to hold a grudge against the colonists. He had only recently had a run-in with the good people of Portland, Maine on a customs matter over which they had disagreed. The Portland folks saw fit to tar and feather Malcolm but were kind enough to allow him to remain clothed for the treatment. Being a prideful man who was impressed by his own authority, this didn't sit well.
In the snow covered streets of Boston in January, Malcolm was run over by a boy sledding in the street. Malcolm, his temper getting the best of him, raised his cane to strike the boy. George Hewes, a local shoemaker, intervened and Malcolm turned on Hewes. At first, Malcolm tried to overawe Hewes with his social rank - being a gentleman and, in Malcolm's mind, a hero of the French and Indian War. Hewes took the vituperation of Malcolm with a grain of salt and retorted "Be that as it may, I was never tarred and feathered." That was the match to Malcolm's tinder and he flew at Hewes and struck him a near fatal blow to the head with his cane.
The town of Boston was already electric with tension between the locals and Crown representatives and word of this attack spread almost instantly. A crowd gathered at Malcolm's house while he shouted out a window, relishing baiting the crowd into an uproar, and flourishing with his sword, eventually stabbing one man in the chest.
The crowd swarmed the house, forcing Malcolm to retreat to the second floor. Malcolm was eventually disarmed and the crowd seized him, tied him, put him on a sled and dragged him through the town as brickbats rained upon him. After pulling him by the wharfs to pick up a barrel of tar, the mob took him to King St, by the Town House, where political rallies were customarily held and where the Massacre had occurred.
In the chill of the coldest night of a Boston January Malcolm was stripped, dislocating his arm, and hot tar daubed on his bare skin, burning his flesh.
Feathers then were applied to give what was then called the "modern jacket". Malcolm was then paraded, both burned and freezing, from one end of the town to the other and back. At the Liberty Tree they threw a noose around his neck and threatened to hang him if he didn't denounce the Governor and the Customs Commissioners. He refused but they didn't hang him. Instead they paraded him back to the far end of town again, eventually rolling him out of the cart at his home "like a log."
Malcolm wasn't the first or last to suffer from the people's anger. In the time before Concord and Lexington many Crown representatives as well as colonists in government positions suffered their houses to be ransacked, demolished or fired and their persons to be insulted most cruelly. Soon, the British Regulars - the Redcoats - the Crown's SWAT teams of the time - which had been withdrawn after the Boston Massacre in an attempt to calm matters were returned in force and Boston was placed under martial law.
