Why Was Andrew Weissmann Kept 'in the Loop' by Bruce Ohr?
American Thinker ^ | September 5, 2018 | Mark Wauck

A week ago, August 27th, Bruce Ohr, the demoted former Associate Deputy Attorney General, testified before the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees. Among the newsworthy items that emerged, a few stand out. One of course is that his wife Nellie began working for Glenn Simpson's opposition research outfit, Fusion GPS, back in 2015 -- adding fuel to the speculation that she was involved as an FBI contractor in illegally mining NSA databases for information on GOP presidential candidates. Another item, highlighted by Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller, was that Ohr kept a number of FBI and DoJ colleagues "in the loop" regarding his highly irregular contacts with Christopher Steele, the "former" MI6 spook. Specifically:

Sources familiar with Ohr’s testimony before the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Ohr informed Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page about his interactions with Steele and Simpson. He also informed Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann about his dossier-related work.

Weissmann is now serving as right-hand man to Robert Mueller at the special counsel’s office.

It seems to me that the question that needs to be asked is: Why Andrew Weissmann? Why was Ohr keeping Weissmann, who was at the time head of DoJ's Criminal Fraud Section, in the loop on what to all appearances was a Counterintelligence investigation? If Ohr kept Weissmann in the loop out of friendship, that still breaks the first rule of conspiratorial operations: need to know. Unless ... Weissmann was contributing or could potentially contribute something of value to the conspiracy.

This is an excellent article.

Weissman is not just running Mueller's dishonest investigation into Trump Russia collusion.

Weissman was working with Fusion GPS, Ohr an others when they originally created the fraudulent story of Trump Russia collusion.

Weissman was working with the Clinton campaign, Fussion GPS Ohr and others to create the lies that formed the basis of the Russia collusion story. Now he is working with Mueller to create the dishonest story that they are supposedly investigating.

The more that is learned, the dirtier and slimier the whole thing is.

Why did he keep him in the loop?

‘Cuz he’s part of the conspiracy, of course.

Bruce Ohr should be bumped out of federal service. There is sufficient evidence that he is tainted.

THIS Is the purpose of the NSA recording everything It is nearly impossible to do anything with all that information in real time- there's just to much.

But get on someone's radar, and hmmmmm... "let's just go have a look at who you've been talking to."

The whole scummy mess looks like Hillary-Fusion GPS-Democrats had a generic scandal that only needed to insert the name of the opposition.

In this case, Donald Trump was inserted into the hopper.

Yep. Too bad we don’t have any attorney General that would stop this attempted coup and prosecute the traitors.

Very true. But it doesn’t mean very much in the overall picture. We may not know but POTUS does. His people know. They refuse to do anything about the DS.

Anyone heard the name Bill Priestap lately?
For such a central figure in this whole mess, he sure is flying under the radar.
