Opinion: How a senior DOJ official helped Dem researchers on Trump-Russia case
The Hill ^ | 8/7/2018 | john Solomon

Posted on 08/07/2018 6:08:21 PM PDT by bitt

evidence yet that a research firm, hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to find dirt on and defeat Donald Trump, worked early and often with the FBI, a Department of Justice (DOJ) official and the intelligence community during the 2016 presidential election and the early days of Trump's presidency.

Fusion GPS's work and its involvement with several FBI officials have been well reported.

But a close review of these new documents shows just how closely Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, who reported to Obama-era Deputy AG Sally Yates, maintained contact with Fusion — and, in particular, its primary source, former British spy Christopher Steele — before, during and after the election.

Yates was fired by President Trump over an unrelated political dispute. Ohr was demoted recently.

Ohr’s own notes, emails and text messages show he communicated extensively with Steele and with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Those documents have been turned over in recent weeks to investigative bodies in Congress and the DOJ, but not reviewed outside the investigative ranks until now.

Besides being a silly attentionwhore, (sic) you can't spell...

Show me where I erred and I'll correct it. Your error is right there.
Not very good manners there, old girl, calling others names.

...besides your other problems.

You have a problem, not me. You've even stated so...
My "problem"...

You've implied I have a problem.
You've stated that you have a problem.
I've never stated I have any problem.

Imagine that.

Gross imagery. Cobwebs and a shrill, grating voice come to mind...and ten foot poles.

A noble, ferocious animal who backs down from Nothing, is my imagery.

Your replies reek of fear. Why are you so scared?

Previously...What harm has Q done to you?

BTW, I'm still leading you around...without a rope, and you're too ignorant to realize it.
Poor, poor, pitiful you...haven't even got a clue.

Lets just look at your many tiered PROBLEMS re English!

You have a terminal case of an abject lack of reading comprehension skills.

You are unable to write correct, simple English prose.

Your extremely limited vocabulary is glaringly pathetic AND you don't know/understand the definitions of the simplest of English words.

Yes, I have a problem with mordant stupid people, which you are a prime example of.

And you are also, obviously, a masochist; bless your heart.

Your petty, jejune assumptions just keep on getting funnier and funnier; you’re all hat and no cattle and brought a wet paper knife to a gun fight. LOL

"FEAR" ?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Okay, add projection complex to your ever burgeoning list of "problems and mental disorders; diddums.

You're not "leading" anyone around and you're far too ignorant, uneducated, and blinded by your own erroneous sense of superiority to see that YOU are the laughing stock and I am "playing" with you and having a grand laugh doing so.

A veritable prognosticator who is able to make great assumptions about others while riding a high horse.

Stay clam!
