Justice Official Demoted as House Investigators Subpoena Records of His Fusion GPS Meetings
Breitbart ^ | December 7, 2017 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 12/07/2017 3:49:20 PM PST by righttackle44

A senior Justice Department official was demoted on Wednesday amid an ongoing House intelligence committee investigation into his contacts with Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for the Trump dossier, according to Fox News.

Bruce G. Ohr, who was until Wednesday associate deputy attorney general, met during the 2016 campaign with the author of the dossier, Christopher Steele, according to evidence obtained by committee investigators.

Ohr also met “shortly after” the election with Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, investigators also found.

Congressional sources told Fox News that Simpson and Ohr met sometime around Thanksgiving last year, when President-elect Trump was in the process of selecting his cabinet, and discussed over coffee the anti-Trump dossier, the Russia investigation and what Simpson “considered the distressing development of Trump’s victory.”

And the FISA judge who granted the wiretap warrant should hold them in contempt with a lengthy jail sentence attached.

This is unprecedented lawlessness.

A distinct possibility. The erroneous Deutsche bank story sure looked like a leak test to me.

It’s rather complicated.

Search on youtube for Q Anon and you will find some videos that explain.

I can’t help but feel there is another shoe to be dropped - or a whole bunch of them. Nothing that we are reading about now is “as it seems.” It’s diabolical and destructive and the ones working for these agencies are sure they will come out smelling like roses. What or who they have behind them is anyone’s guess.

It’s not what we are wishing/hoping/praying for - some actual sleuthing and actual criminal investigations that will result in a whole slew of people being charged - tried - and sent to prison!

Then it would be - “Getting to be a lot like Christmas.”

Does everyone here understand that this is not just a political corruption and witch hunt, what they apparently did is :

Concoct a scheme to destroy the opposition candidate for President.

Then they Conspired to use the Media and the Force of Government to overturn a Duly Elected President

They Manufactured the Evidence necessary to Spy on the President and everyone around him.

The FBI, DOJ, Entire Political Apparatus and Leadership of BOTH Parties have Committed TREASON Against the United States by their actions and efforts to OVERTHROW the PRESIDENCY of the United States.

And a lot of people think they should resign or be fired??

WE HANG THOSE THAT COMMIT TREASON!!!

The jig is definitely up on the coup attempt.

But severe punishment of all the conspirators is necessary to restore the Republic. They can’t get away with this or the country ends the next time they win an election.

One by one, more and more of the formerly smug R*t Ba*tards are being exposed, like cock roaches which are trapped with nowhere left to scurry and flee...

BOTH parties already committed treason with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen.

The DOJ’s supposed to keep everything confidential until the investigation’s run its course and it goes to a jury. Unfortunately that doesn’t help ongoing political matters.

I believe we will find that the Obama administration used the dossier as a basis to get FISA wiretap warrants against the presidential candidate and his team before the election, during the election and after the election. Wiretap transcripts appeared to be in the FBI agents' hands when they led Flynn into the perjury trap that bagged him.

Isn't there legal precedent that a guilty verdict or plea based on evidence obtained illegally is overturned?

That they have. A conspiracy of high treason with no controlling legal authority in sight.

That’ll never happen because EVERYONE in the District of Corruption is complicit.
