Judicial Watch Uncovers DOJ Records Showing Numerous Bruce Ohr Communications with Fusion GPS and..

Ohr Repeatedly Thanked Steele for ‘Updates’ and Assures Steele he will ‘Pass this [Information] along to my Colleagues’

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.

The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to “his colleagues” on matters relating to Steele’s activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)). The lawsuit seeks:

All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats between Bruce Ohr and any of the following individuals/entities: former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele; owner of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson; and any other employees or representatives of Fusion GPS. All travel requests, authorizations and expense reports for Bruce Ohr.

All calendar entries for Bruce Ohr. The timeframe for the requested records is January 1, 2015, to December 7, 2017.

The emails between Bruce Ohr and Steele were heavily redacted, including some of the dates they were sent and received.

A liberals could be standing on live TV clutching a smoking gun after placing a bullet into a formerly living kitten in a cage....

And CNN would defend the Democrats...

And nothing would be done about it...

Verdad Teller ❌ ‏ @Truthteller1349 Follow Follow @Truthteller1349 More On October 30, 2017, Steele writes that he spoke to Simpson about information discussed with Bruce Ohr. This was five months after the Special Counsel was appointed. Ohr was passing on Steele info to the FBI/DOJ.

Sometime in 2029 we’ll get to the bottom of this.

One spurious accusation against Trump and we get 2 years of incessant investigations, including 4 days of Congressional testimony from a convicted and sentenced liar, disbarred lawyer, and tax cheat.

The cover up continues. Are there any honest people left in these once trusted bureaucracies?

The FBI is a joke, doing political campaigning now instead of their job.

Just think. The Socialist “democrats” are passing bills that would leave it up to Obama’s FBI whether or not an American can purchase a firearm. They seem to be stacking the deck against us.

I used to say that Bill Clinton (or 0bama - take your pick) could shotgun murder a dozen praying nuns on the White House lawn at Noon, wasted on tequila and cocaine, in front of every television news camera in America, and you’d never hear about it from the MSM.

Sadly, they will probably all get away with it, despite the fact that we had a foreign spy, Steele, orchestrating a campaign to oust an American president with the connivance of high level bureaucrats in the Justice Dept. and FBI. Why do I say this? Well, Manafort was sentenced to prison yesterday - where is the prosecution against others who failed to register as agents of a foreign government? Which targeted associate of Trump’s was allowed to go through their government emails, take out 30,000 that dealt with “yoga and weddings” and submit those that they damned well pleased? What about Lyndon Johnson, one of history’s greatest crooks and who probably ordered numerous murders, including JFK’s? How is he known today? As the great progressive, Nixon was responsible for the disastrous conduct of the Vietnam War, LBJ had nuttin’ to do with it.
