A co-founder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS acknowledged in a new court document that his company hired the wife of a senior Justice Department official to help investigate then-candidate Donald Trump last year.
The confirmation from Glenn Simpson came in a signed declaration filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and provided a fuller picture of the nature of Nellie Ohr’s work – after Fox News first reported on her connection to Fusion GPS.
Her husband, Bruce Ohr, was demoted at the DOJ last week for concealing his meetings with the same company, which commissioned the anti-Trump “dossier” containing salacious allegations about the now-president. Together, the Fusion connections for Mr. and Mrs. Ohr have raised Republican concerns about objectivity at the Justice Department, and even spurred a call from Trump’s outside counsel for a separate special prosecutor.

I wonder why drudge isn’t covering any of this.
Her panties are still in a twist over POTUS supporting Moore.

I think the last public words of Bruce and Nellie Ohr were: “Oh-r shit”.
There was lots of collusion - Mueller’s team are the guilty ones....
To avoid jail for top executives?
There are weak links in this chain of traitors, and that is what they are. Isn't treason still a crime?

Not crickets, inchworms.
Inching closer and closer....
Have patience, Grasshopper!

Yes, patience. Some day (SOON, I’m *sure* of it), we’ll finally get to the end of the Benghazi incident, if not the F&F probe...It’s *ONLY* been ~year, geez /s
If Congress has more oversight than the DOJ Inspector General why don’t they use it? And one should be very wary of this IG.
Well, there is another option that’s in the constitution!
Deep State conspiracy theory proven to be true.
BTW, anybody know Bruce Ohr’s birth surname? Ohr is his wife’s last name, which he took for himself when they married. Good grief, is that Leftie chic or what?
????
wrong, where did you get that idea?
Nellie Hauke (Ohr) is the daughter of Richard Louis Hauke and Kathleen Armstrong Hauke.
Ohr is her married name, not her maiden name.

Good catch. Sorry for adding to all the fake news. I was told this by someone who would know but they must have had them mixed up with another couple.
Then again, that does not establish that Ohr is Bruce’s birth surname. It would be interesting to see a wedding announcement or perhaps alumni class notes from Yale Law School.
