FULL TITLE: DOJ's Bruce Ohr wrote Christopher Steele was 'very concerned about Comey's firing -- afraid they will be exposed'
A collection of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr's emails, texts and handwritten notes, reviewed by Fox News, reveals that he was deeply connected to the unverified Steele dossier as well as its author and, during the presidential election campaign, the alleged government surveillance abuses involving a Trump campaign official.
The dossier, which was used by federal officials to justify the surveillance of a top Trump aide, Carter Page, was created by Fusion GPS and paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Ohr wrote that Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who wrote the salacious dossier, was "very concerned (abt) about [former FBI Director James] Comey's firing -- afraid they will be exposed."
The Ohr documents shed more light on Steele's activities before the presidential election. While Steele shopped the dossier to multiple media outlets, he also appeared to ask Ohr for help with a Russian oligarch -- Oleg Deripaska -- after rumors the U.S. might impose sanctions.
Ohr had a conflict of interest during the presidential campaign and transition, congressional investigators say, because his wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS. Steele, an ex-British spy, was a key source cited by the FBI and Department of Justice to obtain a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant to monitor Page.

Maybe Russians told Steel they had a copy of the tape but they were wrong. No copy - no tape.

Don’t worry Bruce, they’re all still circling the wagons without Comey and Brennan. These hombres are emboldened by the complicit media.
A JFK level of "WHAT".
Can't wait for the 2018 and 2020 October surprises, Trump style.
bttt
One aspect of this entire debacle that no one seems to question is how corrupt are the FISA judges?
The narrative is that they weren’t told anything about the source and funding of the dossier, but I have always wondered just how curious were the judges and did any of them ask the questions that a judge should have axed??
My guess is that the FISA judges were only too happy to go along with the farce.
RICO Conspiracy Sedition
Weasel Mueller was a participant.
Rip van Sessions is complicit.
Where’s Sleepy Sessions at! /S

The fact that the FISA judges haven’t leveled any contempt charges against the DOJ/FBI plotters who mislead the court tells me they were in on it. This secret judicial set up needs to be dismantled pronto.
Let us all remember that honest people doing legitimate work on behalf of the people don’t need to worry about having their activities exposed. The fact that Ohr expressed that particular fear is an admission that what he was doing (and what his cohorts were doing) was wrong.
He definitely can’t use the “no intent” excuse.
Exposed. To me, an explosive word.
Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
Well Well Well, could it be..this whole Russia nonsense was just made up nonsense..a plan B if you will, in case Trump won, to derail his Presidency, nah can’t be true, the commie media who never lies says there is a Russian hiding in every closet in America
afraid they will be exposed for their Anti-American activity ?
I think it is worse. I think this was put in place to punish Trump after he lost. To keep other outsiders from thinking they could aspire to be president.
Just think how this would have played out if Trump was not in the White House.
Bttt.

As somebody who works the field myself, I have heard some say “who cares?”. The fact is that a security clearance is big darn deal. A lot of these folks get high paying jobs such as position’s on the boards of defense contractors and other companies that deal in geopolitical affairs and security. Without a security clearance, you are nothing in that world, they won’t even look at you. In other words President Trump is really sticking the screws to anybody who’s clearance is revoked....
Don't worry. The US Attorney in Utah Sessions appointed to investigate all of this is on top of it.
