The department's Bruce Ohr, a career official, served as associate deputy attorney general at the time of the campaign. That placed him just below the deputy attorney general, Sally Yates, who ran the day-to-day operations of the department. In 2016, Ohr's office was just steps away from Yates, who was later fired for defying President Trump's initial travel ban executive order and still later became a prominent anti-Trump voice upon leaving the Justice Department. Unbeknownst to investigators until recently, Ohr knew Steele and had repeated contacts with Steele when Steele was working on the dossier. Ohr also met after the election with Glenn Simpson, head of Fusion GPS, the opposition research company that was paid by the Clinton campaign to compile the dossier.

It would be curious to have Ohr explain how he ever met Steele in the first place. Guess we will never hear that story. DC dinner party? Prior projects that Steele performed? A friend of the family?

Thanks to Travis Mcgee for the above!
Travis, you might want to add Bruce Ohr to your rogue gallery of DOJ/FBI thugs.

I remember a stand-in host for Rush had his former NSA friend on to talk about how both Hillary and Trump were working against the US with the Russians. The friend went on to say the stuff he knew on Trump was enough that if any of us heard what he formally knew, most all Trump supporters would avidly become NeverTrump-type people, as he was.
I believe this was during the general election campaign.
NeverTrump peopleall of them, are insane.

“...how could the FBI endorse and consider underwriting one campaign’s dirt-digging operation in the middle of a hotly contested election?”
How?
Just take a look at the snakes gathered in that den. That, folks, were the ones running the country.

The fact that this revelation is just now seeing the light of day tells you the damning nature of this evidence. Did Ohr arrange or was he in on procuring the slime piece? What enforcement use was made of the dossier's slime?

This is a David and Goliath moment in politics. Doesn’t appear that Sessions is up to the task.
