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.”

Interesting take.

Oops. Sorry about that. Nice catch.
Who are the most famous men in history? Caesar (Rubicon), William I (Hastings), Henry VII (Bosworth), William II (Boyne), Washington (Yorktown), Lincoln (Gettysburg), et al. What about Napoleon, Lenin, Hitler, Mao, et al?
Some try to assign human constructed value systems, such as morality ie good vs evil, while others (such as myself) view these contests as simply competition over scarce resources. The quest for power & glory isn't rare - rather it's quite common and mundane; a true measure of man.
As such, we shouldn't either be surprised or upset at what has transpired - rather, it should be treated as business as usual. It's not the fault of this nation's enemies to attempt to overthrow the legitimately elected president and deny the rights of self-government.
It is **our** responsibility - we the people - to protect ourselves, to remain vigilant, and to exercise due caution and care. It is our duty to punish offenders, just as it is our enemies' right and duty to attempt to defeat us. They're 'grown ups'; they know the rules and understand the risks.
Throughout English history, high treason (ie conspiring against the crown) was punished by hanging, drawing and quartering. Afterward, the body parts were hung on posts and left to rot. That is, the culprits were not allowed a proper burial. There's a reason why Machiavelli applauded this kind of retribution - it made those who would conspire against the state possibly think twice.
It's our fault if the conspirators escape due process and punishment. It will only enable another, more daring coup attempt if specific individuals are not adequately punished.
I don't just want them fired, I want them arrested.
Thanks for the ping, bitt. BUMP!
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.
*********************************************
True, However, it appears that he didn’t get demoted until the congress started asking questions.
Gohmert asked if FBI Director Wray knew whether FBI personnel: Carl Ghattas, Larissa Mentzer (in 2001 was part of computer crimes squad, per Google search), Josh Skule, Michael McGarrity and a name I couldn't make out (Ryan Harmon or Bryan Parmon)....had the same political biases as Andrew McCabe against this Administration?
“I’m not aware of any senior FBI executives who are allowing improper political considerations to affect their work with me right now,” Wray responded
Sounds like Gohmert is preparing the way for the next "shoe drop" on this bogus investigation.
So was Fusion GPS a DOJ/FBI asset?
all enemies domestic and foreign...
they did an interview with him afterwards on fox he was cagey but my take was stay tuned for more info later...it was an interesting interview he basically compared it to the discovery stage of a lawsuit...didn’t sound like a fishing expedition...
not sure about a plea but in court fruit of the poisoned tree inadmisable...
Thanks for sharing that. His line of questioning, in Committee, made me think there was something else that he knew.

DOJ, FBI, FISA, and on and on. It’s almost like a treason novel is appearing before our very eyes.
Real live criminals, abuse of power, operating under color of law, spying, lying, violating, perpetrating, well -—— TREASON!!!
What in the HELL!
Fire them!
Round them up!
Prosecute them!
Lock them up!
Faster please!
Would be hilarious if it’s Quidam redux! Wish those old threads were still around. Wild fun.
a lot of people think Q is Trump.....
Thank you.
