Newly released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records of its interviews with senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr reveal that the FBI used Ohr as a conduit to “pee dossier” author British ex-spy Christopher Steele in 2016 and 2017, even after the FBI officially fired Steele for having unauthorized contacts with the media.
The questionable behavior by Ohr and the FBI during the investigation of the Trump campaign was revealed in FBI interview records known as “302s” recently obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.
“Ohr was corruptly used by the FBI as a conduit to Clinton spy Christopher Steele and the Clinton-DNC spy ring at Fusion, and we now have received 34 pages of ‘302’ report material from the FBI interviews of Ohr — documents that Congress has been seeking but have been unable to get for over a year,” Judicial Watch said in a statement.
The 302s also revealed other questionable practices by Ohr and the FBI throughout 2016 and up to the beginning of the special counsel investigation that began May 2017.
Here are the top takeaways from the records:
1. The FBI fired Steele in November 2016 for leaking to the media but continued communicating with him through Ohr at least until May 2017.
The 302s showed that after the FBI fired Steele in November 2016 for unauthorized contacts with the media, it continued through Ohr to receive information from him and sought to communicate with him through May 2017.

Ohr had to get Steele the dossier his wife wrote, so as to make it look legit.................
Nellie Ohr sez it was Dan Marino’s fault!!!
Justice means the DC criminals get penalized just like Small Town, USA. The Republicans that didn’t throw B. Clinton out of office did much harm.
This info was originally reported in August 2018. Is there any new info about this now, that wasn’t known in 2018?
How did Mr. Steele support himself after he was ‘fired’ by the FBI?
Bruce Ohr still works for DOJ. He’ll continue getting his annual COLA’s, he’s still earning his retirement benefits, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he was promoted. The Swamp takes care of its own.
