Bruce Ohr May Have Broken More Than The Law By Pushing His Wife’s Opposition Research To The FBI
The Federalist ^

Posted on 08/16/2018 10:06:14 AM PDT by detective

Did Ohr 'personally and substantially' participate in a particular matter in which his spouse had a 'financial interest' while he worked for the Justice Department?

A review of publicly available information causes a reasonable person to wonder whether Bruce Ohr broke the law by promoting his wife’s anti-Trump research to the FBI when he was working at the Justice Department.

The law prohibits public officials from involvement in matters in which their spouse has a financial interest. The question is, Did Ohr “personally and substantially” participate in a particular matter in which his spouse had a “financial interest” while he was employed by the Justice Department as the assistant attorney general? Let’s take a closer look.

Ohr met with Fusion GPS in November 2016 in his capacity as the associate deputy attorney general. Former FBI agent Peter Strzok has confirmed Ohr fed the FBI documents pertinent to the investigation into Trump’s Russia ties, and The Hill reported the FBI used Ohr to continue collecting information from Steele, even after it terminated him as a source for leaking word of the investigation to the media.

Ohr sponsored Steele’s research in spite of the fact that, as Steele admitted, the allegations in the dossier were "unverified." Steele has refused to stand by any of his allegations of Russian hacking. Steele said the dossier allegations were never supposed to be made public, which directly contradicts Steel's providing the information to Ohr and his decision to leak word of the investigation to the media.

Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson disclosed in a sworn declaration that Fusion GPS paid Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, to research and analyze opposition research on Trump.

Ohr failed to disclose that his wife was being paid by Fusion GPS in his mandatory public financial disclosure form.

The purpose of the fraudulent dossier was to interfere with the election. Ohr promoted the dossir and assisted in disseminating the smears in it despite the fact that Steele told Ohr that he was desperate to stop Trump from becoming president.

In December 2016, Ohr received versions of the dossier allegations. Ohr continued to receive Fusion GPS dirt after the election. The attacks on Trump and the smear campaign against Trump didn’t end after the election.

Ohr’s wife was hired by the Clinton campaign and Fusion GPS to defeat Trump. Ohr used his position in the DOJ to help his wife defeat Trump.

None of this matters. The Two people that can do anything, Trump & Sessions, are doing Nothing.

I think Bruce Ohr will proved to be the weak link in all of this.

"Ohr failed to disclose that his wife was being paid by Fusion GPS in his mandatory public financial disclosure form. The purpose of the form is to “identify potential or actual conflicts of interest.”

These people are little more than enemy agents who were attempting to subvert, undermine, compromise and frame the President of the United States.

I’m still wondering about Nellie Ohr’s supposed FCC application for a ham-radio application in May of 2016

Sounds like a very strange hobby for a 50+ year old woman who worked for the CIA and deep state to have.

OR was that just internet fake news and BS? Someone unrelated with the same name?

Agreed. These reports are all over the place, nightly on Fox News and Fox Business, but nothing ever happens.

Call me when one of these crooks is arrested.

Gezzuz...What was done the past 30+ years regarding this subversive corrupt government? It only escalated. And Trump's been in office what? 1.6 years?

And ya say since it didn't happened in a few months, Trump is doing nothing?

Instead of recklessly shooting off my mouth, I'll wait to see how it all plays out instead of attempting to influence opinion, like you.

If not for Trump, you wouldn't know s**t about *any* of this historic high level government corruption.

Congress is fully capable of passing punitive laws on this kind of stuff, and of budget-cutting and other targeted disciplinary measures.

I’m beginning to think Bruce and Whoa Nellie Ohr are Russian agents.

It's real. But isn't it understandable for some older woman who's in the process of attempting to undermine, compromise and overthrow the President of the United States, to suddenly have the urge for a fun new communications hobby?☺

Is it a surprise to find a Stalin apologist at the center of the Steele dossier scandal?
