DOJ official Bruce Ohr meets with Senate Judiciary Committee behind closed doors
Fox News ^ | June 30 2020 | Ronn Blitzer

Justice Department official Bruce Ohr is on Capitol Hill Tuesday, answering questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee behind closed doors, Fox News has learned.

The former associate deputy attorney general is one of dozens of individuals the committee subpoenaed earlier this month as part of their investigation of the Russia probe and the FBI's abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in obtaining a warrant to conduct surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Ohr, who did not answer questions about his meeting while he was on his way to the committee, was a key contact inside the Justice Department for ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who authored an anti-Trump dossier for research firm Fusion GPS as opposition research for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. Ohr's wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS at the time.

He was part of the coup.

Why does he still work there?

As an employee he can be ordered to testify.
As an ex-employee he can plead the 5th all day long.

What is your favorite color?

If you were a tree what kind would you be?

President Trump has hurt your feelings. Do you think he should be impeached for it?

“Do doubt subjected to very GENTLE QUESTIONING by Lindsey Graham.”

No kidding and another reason it is behind closed doors.

That was my first thought, with his wife using Ham radios to secretly transmit messages,

Only people associated with the intended victims of their illegal plots and schemes to overthrow an American Presidential election have ever been or currently are in any danger of being detained or imprisoned,

Not so much for the seditious treasonous coup plotters, they get book deals, MSM talking hack gigs and no doubt are planning for their return to power in 2021,

Why behind close doors? Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Coward Lindsey.

The government might be able to compel employees to testify, and government lawyers can advise them what to say, but the government can’t stop them from pleading the 5th. That would be as clear a violation of the 5th amendment as could be imagined.

Now, if he was granted immunity (with the proper scope), then he would not be able to plead the 5th.

Sidney Powell says in the video, that anyone who was involved in the FISA abuse, should be immediately fired or worse. She pulls no punches about how horrible this has been handled.

Certainly not here either, with the most decorated unit in U.S. military history:


The 442nd, including the 100th Infantry Battalion, was honored with seven Presidential Unit Citations, 21 Medals of Honor, 29 Distinguished Service Crosses, 342 Silver Stars, 848 Bronze Stars, and 9,500 Purple Hearts. [Go For Broke]

Yeah, you’re right.

Being from China, he might have wanted to throttle all the guys related to the people who set up Manchuko.
