The lawsuit from Judicial Watch seeks all records of communications from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, and from Bruce Ohr’s office related to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr, and Steele. The lawsuit is also seeking all relevant records from the Director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.
“As this sordid scandal continues to unfold, it is increasingly clear that top DOJ official Bruce Ohr – working in conjunction with his wife and other Clinton-connected Fusion GPS actors – played a key role in laundering false information from Russia about Donald J. Trump,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “The DOJ must stop the stonewalling and release these documents as the law requires.”
The lawsuit comes after it was reported that Bruce Ohr remained in contact with Steele after the FBI severed ties with the former spy. According to emails originally obtained by The Hill, Bruce Ohr was still receiving information from Steele after the 2016 election.
The Washington Examiner's Byron York reported earlier this week that Bruce Ohr also remained in touch with Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, after President Trump was elected.

The S$!t is about to hit the fan Bigtime!
You just got to wonder at what point do the MSM and the Democratic Party leadership have to admit that there was a conspiracy to spy upon the Trump campaign by the DOJ/FBI and then cover it up by trying to intimidate everyone who helped Trump?
In my mind Admiral Rogers is the real patriot and hero in this sad saga. At least he informed the man who would be Commander in Chief that he was being spied upon.

book-length attempt by Mayer to create the definitive narrative. it fails on so many levels, but some very interesting bits nonetheless:
12 Mar 2018: New Yorker: Christopher Steele, the Man Behind the Trump Dossier
By Jane Mayer
And so Steele, on that January night, was stunned to learn that U.S. politicians were calling him a criminal...
(In addition to the criminal referral in the U.S., a Russian businessman, Aleksej Gubarev, had filed a libel lawsuit against Steele, saying that the dossier had falsely accused his company of helping the Russian government hack into the Democratic Party’s internal e-mail system.) Would Steele end up in a U.S. federal penitentiary?...
A longtime friend of Steele’s pointed out to me that Steele was in a singularly unenviable predicament. The dossier had infuriated both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump by divulging allegedly corrupt dealings between them. “You’ve got oligarchs running both superpowers,” the friend said. “And, incredibly, they both hate this same guy (TRUMP).”...
***Legal experts soon assured Steele that the criminal referral was merely a political stunt...
Indeed, on January 18th, the staff of Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, produced a report purporting to show that the real conspiracy revolved around Hillary Clinton. “The truth,” Nunes said, is that Clinton “colluded with the Russians to get dirt on Trump, to feed it to the F.B.I. to open up an investigation into the other campaign.” Glenn Kessler, who writes the nonpartisan Fact Checker blog at the Washington Post, awarded Nunes’s statement four Pinocchios—his rating for an outright lie. “There is no evidence that Clinton was involved in Steele’s reports or worked with Russian entities to feed information to Steele,” Kessler wrote...
