House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said that twice-demoted DOJ official, Bruce Ohr, will become “more and more important” in their investigation into the possible FBI/DOJ mishandling of the Trump-Russia probe.
On Tuesday, Nunes told Fox News host, Sean Hannity, “Bruce Ohr is going to become more and more important.”

When asked by Hannity to explain Ohr’s FBI interview reports, Nunes said, “So the FBI interviewed Bruce Ohr at least a dozen times and put together reports. So once they fired (dossier author Christopher) Steele, which at that point they should’ve not been meeting with him anymore, but what they had is, they had Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie Ohr was working for Fusion GPS — was going to meet and still get the information from Christopher Steele as they were trying to verify this unverified dossier or the Clinton dirt that was used to get the FISA warrant.”
Last week, SaraACarter.com reported that lawmakers want Bruce Ohr’s FBI interviews (known as 302s) declassified. They argue that the documents will reveal the extent of Ohr’s involvement and relationships with key players surrounding the unverified, anti-Trump dossier. Those relationships include ex-British spy, Christopher Steele, and Fusion GPS owner, Glenn Simpson. Lawmakers also say the Ohr 302s could provide insight into his communications with FBI officials investigating the Trump campaign.
Ohr’s ties to Fusion GPS go even deeper than his connections to Steele and Simpson. According to a House Intelligence Committee memo, Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for Fusion GPS in 2016 to “assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump.” Fusion GPS told CNN in December of 2017 that Mrs. Ohr was a “widely-recognized” scholar on Russia and that she speaks fluent Russian.
The crooks in the DOJ and FBI are hoping for the dimoKKKRATS to take the house.
Where is Jeff Sessions?
Sessions will get right on this.
Thanks markomalley.
These bastards better get off their asses and start doing their friggin jobs otherwise we’ll vote them out.
Paul the Cowardly Ryan doesn’t need to worry about that and will come out in support of Bruce Ohr, I’m sure.
