Opinion: Top DOJ official discussed getting Steele back into FBI, Mueller probe (fall of 2017)
The Hill ^ | John Solomon

Posted on 08/08/2018 8:54:03 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Months after being dismissed from the FBI's Russia probe for misconduct, British intelligence operative Christopher Steele discussed being reinstated with a senior official working for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, so Steele could assist special counsel Robert Mueller.

"Whenever convenient, I would like a chat, there's a lot going on and we are frustrated with how long this re-engagement with the Bureau and Mueller is taking," Steele texted Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr on Aug. 6, 2017. "Anything you could do to accelerate the process would be much appreciated."

"Chris, good to hear from you," Ohr texted back as he proposed times when the two could discuss the idea.

The exchange - one of several in which Steele proposed a return to the Russia probe - has captured the attention of investigators in Congress and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Some of them told me they are stunned that a top Rosenstein aide would even consider restoring Steele to the case, and with good reason.

After all, Steele was paid by a firm working for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to dig up Russia dirt on Donald Trump. Then, in November 2016, he was deemed "not suitable" to serve as an FBI informer after being caught leaking information to the media.

Mueller needs to be investigated...throughly and quickly. What a stupid thing to try to get Steele back into the fold. Did Mueller accepted Steele back? Did they communicate with each other

8 Aug: The Hill: Ohio county finds hundreds of uncounted votes in already too-close-to-call special election
By Aris Folley
Officials found the votes in a Columbus suburb, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, netting Democratic candidate Danny O’Connor 190 more votes and narrowing his race against Republican Troy Balderson to 1,564 votes.
“The votes from a portion of one voting location had not been processed into the tabulation system,” the Franklin County Board of Elections said in a news release obtained by the paper...

“Yet, in a private letter to Congress, shown to me, Rosenstein declared he was unaware of Ohr’s activities with Steele. Ohr was “not assigned to the Russia investigation and he was not in the chain of command,” Rosenstein wrote. “Any involvement Mr. Ohr had in this matter was without my knowledge.””

Looks like an attempt at a fire break.

So Bruce Ohr is arranging favours for Steele while his wife is working for Fusion GOS, which has been using Steele in its attempt to take down Trump on behalf of Clinton and the DNC. Influence pedalling in the DOJ and they think they are in the clear because Mrs Ohr received the cheques.

These people have lied at every step of the way in this manufactured scandal. The credibility of the DOJ/FBI is gone.

just did as thorough a search as possible.

FAKENEWSMSM HAS REPORTED NOTHING ON SOLOMON’S BRUCE OHR/CHRISTOPHER STEELE REVELATIONS OF THE PAST TWO DAYS.

only Fox News and smaller websites reporting.

what does this tell us about the state of the media?

The Hill titles John Solomon articles as opinion piece when his articles are choke full of hardcore facts and very little at all to do with his own opinion. Even they don’t want the truth to get out there even though their own writer is producing journalistic evidence

Wonder if the profuse texts Chris Steele makes about arranging times for calls to Ohr are not calls as in, phone calls, but instead arranging times for radio transmissions?

And I wonder what he meant by “perishable opportunities?”

Solomon and Carter are doing investigative reporting that’s unmatched by their peers. Those two deal in facts only and they’ve uncovered unbelievable dirty dealings in our government’s highest offices.

Question #1...….WHO at the FBI "FIRED" Steele, since he seemed to be working with the HIGHER UPS??

Question #2.....WHO are the "We" and "Our" Steele mentions a lot in his texts?? He is NOT referring to Ohr…...anyone know??

WHY has Steele NOT been arrested?

WHY has Bruce Ohr not been ARRESTED?

WHY hasn’t Bruce Ohr been brought up to Congress to answer questions?

The credibility of the DOJ/FBI is gone.

Half the country, plus the RINO's in government, seem to think the "new" DOJ/FBI is just dandy. That's the scary part.
