WASHINGTON When a lawyer for one of Russias most powerful reputed crime bosses arrived at F.B.I. headquarters one day around 2006, he wanted to cut a deal. The Russian, Semion Y. Mogilevich, had been indicted three years earlier by the department on charges of defrauding a company outside Philadelphia out of $150 million and could not travel for fear of arrest.
As the lawyer made his pitch, a supervising F.B.I. agent and a senior career Justice Department official, Bruce G. Ohr, both listened intently, according to a former bureau official who described the meeting. The case was significant for American law enforcement. It had made headlines and laid the groundwork for Justice Department efforts to combat Russian organized crime overseas.
Finally, the F.B.I. agent spoke. No deal, he said; Mr. Mogilevich must surrender. Mr. Ohr said little, but his unwillingness to negotiate was signal enough: The Justice Department would not compromise with the Russian mafia.

Oh, so Bruce Ohr is a hero, now. Got it.
Not the guy scared that the coup plot would be found out....
Only liberals are dumb enough to fall for this.
The perp becomes the victim...yet again for the left.
me thinks they doth protest too much about Ohr
Planted story to give something so that the Dems could praise him.
The media working hand in hand with the DNC and the Deep State.
Bruce Ohr was always a leftist scoundrel and the leftist media is trying to clean him up with their bedtime tales. Sleep sheeple, sleep.
Benedict Arnold was a victorious general for the continental army till he decided to become a traitor. So given the NYT story as an example does that mean he is now to be cast as a great patriot?
In 2006, Mr. Ohr was part of a group of government officials who revoked the visa of Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire and aluminum magnate.
The same names keep popping up in these Russian collusion stories. I expect Ohr will be questioned heavily about Deripaska. Seems to me there would be a problem with Steele lobbying Bruce Ohr directly about a Deripaska VISA during early 2016.
Hahaha
Tell another one
Maybe this was another article provided by the leftists in government. We know that the FBI was planting stories. That’s already come out:
Did Bruce Ohr’s mother write this?
Yeah, and Benedict Arnold fought the British. Big whoop. Remember, this is coming from a media that loved the communists.
NYT galloping to save Bruce Ohr.
ROTFL. Boy, are these two fake news pixies out of touch with reality. More proof that, no matter how slow or retarded you are, you can always get a job “working” in the national “media”.
I remember this one time Charles Manson helped an old lady jumpstart her car. Now people accuse him of bad things.
Not just fake news but Soviet style fake news. Lies from top to bottom.
I wish the ny times building would burn to the grown and take every leftist worlking there with it.
Yeah, Mr. Swecker...and Satan once worked for God...what's your point?
It's laughably ridiculous, and we get a daily, steady stream of this crap from "the paper of record."
