Strzok explains how anti-Trump dossier made its way from Clinton camp to eager FBI
The Washington Times ^ | July 15, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 07/15/2018 3:22:10 PM PDT by jazusamo

The lengths to which the FBI relied on the Hillary Clinton opposition research dossier to investigate her political rival came into sharper focus with the testimony of the lead investigator, FBI agent Peter Strzok.

Mr. Strzok told a joint House committee last week that the FBI received from Associate Attorney General Bruce Ohr a raft of documents — including sections of the anti-Trump dossier — during the investigation into Russia election interference.

The first-time disclosure is significant because it confirms an unusual and continuing channel for collusion accusations that started outside the government with anti-Trump people and reached Mr. Ohr at the Justice Department and then the FBI.

Around that time, Mr. Ohr was communicating with dossier writer Christopher Steele. Mr. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, a Russia researcher, worked for Mr. Steele’s paymaster, investigative firm Fusion GPS, which was trying to damage Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Mr. Ohr met with Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson after the November 2016 election.

Mr. Strzok, who led the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, testified that he began receiving dossier sections in September 2016, but not from Mr. Ohr, and continued receiving documents into 2017. Mr. Strzok testified that he met with Mr. Ohr during that time.

The arrangement suggests that the FBI used the partisan, anti-Trump dossier and was eager to receive its episodic chapters from June to December 2016.

None of the Russia-Trump collusion charges has been publicly confirmed to date. Mr. Steele’s sources resided in the Kremlin.

Mr. Steele, a former British spy who told Mr. Ohr he wanted to destroy the Trump candidacy, ultimately was paid by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

“this isn’t even comparable to watergate. this amounts to an attempted coup, and the more we learn about it, the more it’s even beneath the wildest weirdos in the worst of the banana republics.”

Yes, and all those people who were concerned that Obama would never relinquish power were right in a way, he didn’t think he was, and he had a plan for perpetuating his agenda.

Why would the Russians bother with just hacking computers when it seems much easier to hack by just dropping works of fiction into the laps of the DOJ, CIA and the press?

Hey Nellie the CHAOS agent... can you swing by the office and drop this off on Maxwell Smart’s boss’s desk?

Comey said they weren’t investigating the dossier. Clapper said they did. It’s quite a confusing tale.

I knew there was a shadow govt. when Obama ran and not one court case let a plaintiff have “standing”to challenge Obama’s eligibility...

justice my butt. our founders are rolling over in their graves at the mass corruption of the USA.

this is not going to end well, too many patriots are informed and won’t let it get kicked down the road or swept under the rug..

“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

That’s the USC.....The argument is not hard to make

Has anybody answered the question of why, if there was Trump-Russia collusion, was there an anti-Trump dossier supposedly sourced by Russians in the Kremlin.

Just more LEFTY cognitive dissonance? Or the dossier was made up out of whole cloth by Hillary & the DNC?

If there was Trump Russia collusion, wouldn’t there be an anti-Hillary dossier?

Has this ever been addressed? Or should we just stay tuned?

Wouldn’t it be a twist in the plot if:

Trump’s actually going over to meet with Putin to offer to swap Russia’s assets that we’ve caught trying to sow chaos here...for America’s assets that they’ve caught?
And what if Mueller’s list isn’t a list of hackers at all but actually a list of our assets in Russia whom we want to trade for...
While the Russians would get their assets that we caught back... the moles in our government who were caught in the act by Rogers?
What if Steele and the Ohrs and so on were Russian agents all along and not just enraged libs?

I feel like we’re living in a Clancy novel.
