The long-anticipated report from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released Monday criticized department attorney Bruce Ohr at length for failing to report repeated contacts with former British spy Christopher Steele.
Steele, the author of the debunked Steele dossier that was used to justify a federal investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign, met with Ohr 12 times after Steele was terminated as a confidential human source by the bureau. As the report notes, Ohr failed to report the repeated interactions with Steele to his DOJ supervisors, depriving the department of the opportunity to request that Ohr halt communication with the fired informant. Instead, Ohr continued to feed Steele’s information to the department and FBI, circumventing Steele’s termination as a reliable source.
According to the report, Ohr acknowledged to the DOJ that it was because of the possibility he would be told to stop these meetings with Steele that he chose not to report them to his direct supervisors.

Wow! I’m glad I waiting years, counting all the tick-tocks for this - finally someone maybe, might be CRITICIZED (”Tsk-tsk”). There’s no need for a strongly worded letter now. Justice finally done.
Is his failure to report any of those things an offense that can lead to his indictment, prosecution, conviction and prison sentence? No. Then the documentation of his activities and failure to report them means nothing.
Next. Move along. Nothing to see here. Don’t worry about this. Adults only. You’re too stupid to understand.
I’m working through the report. Lots of good stuff already.
For instance, documenting that the Papadopoulos sting was the start of the “investigation” and that the FISA warrants wouldn’t have happened without the Steele Dossier.
Stuff we already know that Dems have been calling “debunked conspiracy stories”.
Washington would have executed the scumbags long ago
But it wasn’t political at all.
I can think of something that failed and it isn’t Bruce Ohr’s reports to the DoJ.
It begins with the letter ‘coup’ and ends with the letter ‘prison.’
Over bkmrk
He said during his meetings with different people he suspected they were recording the meetings.
What frustrates me is the Papadopoulos never tried to record any of his meetings.
He knew he was being recorded but he never recorded a single meeting.
Can you imagine if he had just one recording of one meeting with Mifsud or Halper?
Sessions recused himself from everything just because he campaigned for Trump.
Ohr’s wife worked for Fusion GPS, funded by the Clinton Campaign and did not recuse himself from an investigation into Trump.
Andrew McCabe’s wife’s Virginia State Senate Campaign was funded nearly 100% by the Clinton Campaign and he did not recuse himself.
Just let the differences sink in.....this is why we are losing.
