MY SUMMARY OF BRUCE OHR TRANSCRIPT
Disestablishmentarian:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Bruce Ohr was a conduit, perhaps a bit of a dupe, but had NOTHING directly to do with the attempted coup d’etat. He is a WITNESS, not a PRINCIPAL in the conspiracy.
2. He is a specialist in Russian organized crime, but apparently doesn’t speak Russian.
3. He knew Chris Steele since 2007, whom he said was a British expert (MI-6) in the same narrow field.
4. He was professionally VERY AWARE since at least 2006 of Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, Manafort’s sugar daddy (until they got sideways over a failed $25MM deal in Ukraine). Ohr explains that the lines in Russia are extremely blurred between business, government and organized crime. Deripaska is a Putin guy.
5. Ohr met and spoke numerous times with Steele in 2016 and early 2017, and twice with Fusion’s Glenn Simpson. Every contact was followed almost immediately by him contacting the FBI (starting with McCabe, then delegated down to others).
6. He was given 2 separate thumb drives which he conveyed to the FBI without viewing. Republican questioners brought out how unusual it was for someone with his experience to allow himself to mangle the “Chain of evidence” in this way; but Ohr stuck to the story that the thumb drives were not evidence, just “Source information.”
7. The second thumb drive supposedly gave the FBI Nellie Ohr’s research from public sources—BUT BRUCE NEVER LOOKED AT IT. He “Assumed” it was different than the Chris Steele dossier.

Disestablishmentarian Continues:
THE INTERESTING PARTS:
8. Ohr supposedly told the FBI everything, including the HRC and Fusion and Nellie Ohr ties to the material ... BUT HE CLAIMS HE DID NOT TELL HIS BOSS, SALLY YATES ***ANYTHING*** about these DOZENS OF COMMUNICATIONS with Steele, Simpson, the Deputy Director and others at the FBI and once, even, what he thought was a potential meeting with Deripaska in the U.S. This is despite what HE CLAIMED was a concern that Trump was in Putin’s power due to a blackmail or similar threat—a terribly serious matter if it were true.
9. It seems to me that if the SALLY YATES WALL of IGNORANCE can be pierced, everything the Derps are trying to hide behind falls apart. BECAUSE if Yates knew, then LL knew, Obama knew etc.
10. The “Nellie Ohr” thumb drive needs to come into evidence for comparison with the dirty dossier. IF THEY CONTAIN SIMILAR MATERIAL, THAT IS PROOF NELLIE AND FUSION CRAFTED THE WORK OF FICTION.
FINALLY:
11. There is a HINT THAT Oleg Deripaska may have been funding Fusion GPS (along with HRC, DNC and the FBI). Hahahahah! That should be worthy of an ORACLE INVESTIGATION!
12. Deripaska funding Fusion would be the SMOKING GUN of RUSSIAN COLLUSION.

I really like your summary. Thanks for the Cliff Notes!
Please look at drop #1974 - Q TELLS US PLAINLY THAT OBAMA WAS THE BACKCHANNEL. Not Ohr, as the press is trying to make us believe. And which your Cliff Notes also seem to be confirming. Probably Witness, not Perp.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks for the pointer to Q-1974.
Yes, Bruce Ohr seems to be a cover story for how the dossier came to the FBI and DOJ--a plausible explanation that attempts to shield Obama and all the other political-path people who were actually behind it all.
I would add that, in his ENTIRE TESTIMONY, Ohr did not dis Trump a single time (unlike Strzok, Comey, McCabe etc.). It seems he took Christopher Steele, who contacted him, at face value ... and this caused him do what he had always done in similar situations, and pass on the potentially alarming "Source information" to the FBI.
To me, he comes across as gullible. If his wife is C_A, she may have been involved in manipulating him.
