Top Mueller Officials Coordinated With Fusion GPS Spouse In 2016

A senior Department of Justice official says he repeatedly and specifically told top officials at the FBI and DOJ about dossier author Christopher Steele’s bias and his employer Fusion GPS’ conflicts of interest, information they kept hidden from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. These conversations involved high-level officials, including some who are now senior officials in the special counsel probe. And the conversations began taking place in the earliest days of August 2016, much earlier than previously revealed to congressional investigators seeking to learn the facts about the FBI’s decision to spy on the Trump campaign.

They also said Ohr, whose wife worked for the very same information operation that Steele did, had shared critical information about the source that did not appear in the applications to spy on Carter Page. Finally, they claimed that Ohr funneled to the FBI his wife’s opposition research, which had been secretly bought and paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign.

All of that is true. If anything, it understates what Ohr admitted to congressional investigators.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the committee, led by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the Republican majority overstated Ohr’s role. They claimed Steele’s conversations with the FBI “occurred weeks after the election and more than a month after the Court approved the initial FlSA application.”

Put Schiffty on the stand. He seems to know something that nobody else does.

It’s pretty obvious the GOP doesn’t care. Too many GOP involved in the coup?

WSJ’s Kimberly Strassel covered this on Saturday, plus added in the FBI’s complicity.

And...? Nothing will come from this either.

Schiffty gets the shaft via Ohr’s testimony.

Sedition, by its real name.

Part of the issue is that all accountability is destroyed when you appoint a Special Prosecutor. To a great extent, prosecutors already have "prosecutorial immunity." With a Special Prosecutor, not operating within the staff accountability of the DOJ, you have a beast that is not accountable for claims as to his conduct. It is all viewed as retaliation.

Misprision of felony likely applies to Mueller’s team for failing to report the fraud of the investigation when they were named for the team. That would affect the credibility of judgment in every case in which they participated. Especially effective if they can ‘turn’ a few to rat out the FISA ‘justices’ who were in on the scam as well. Why wasn’t Barr asked about this at his confirmation?
