For over two years America has been embroiled in wrangling over the Russia probe, a thread of which has been the Steele dossier and its use to justify a series of FISA warrants against a campaign staff member (Carter Page) of then-active presidential candidate Donald J.Trump. This dubious dossier, named for its author (former MI6 intelligence officer Christopher Steele), might have been better named after Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, without whom this cloudy episode would not have occurred.
The recent DOJ Inspector General’s Report reveals clearly the extent to which Bruce Ohr was willing to avoid accountability and deliberately conceal important evidence in a criminal case against a candidate toward whom both he and his informants held open contempt. These facts about Ohr were previously asserted in the Nunes Report, which was roundly condemned by Nancy Pelosi and others as erroneous.
The following facts are not disputed: Fusion GPS was a consulting firm hired through counsel (Marc Elias) by the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee to research possible connections between Donald Trump and Russian operatives. Fusion GPS hired Steele (who was also paid in part by the FBI) to write the document, which was then provided by Ohr to the FBI and the Operation Crossfire Hurricane team to use against Page and the POTUS. Additionally, Ohr’s wife Nellie was an independent contractor for Fusion GPS, and she and its founder Glenn Simpson routinely conveyed material to her husband. Ohr deliberately avoided informing his superiors and the Department of these dealings.

Call it, McCain’s Revenge Dossier.
The DANGER this portends is almost unimaginable.
Government bureaucrats need to take an oath of loyalty to the country which includes language rejecting loyalties to political parties and they need to be held accountable to this oath.
Actually anyone on a government payroll should have the good of the country as their objective and should be held accountable to that objective.
We need separation of politics and state. Crossfire Hurricane and Mueller’s Special Counsel are glaring examples of this need.
What good would that do? They don’t obey the laws we have and which Agents swear to uphold. You watch, McCabe, Comey, Ohr, Page and his girlfriend wont even be convicted much less pay a fine or spend a day in jail. The FBI is filled with crooks. Need to close that agency down.
