Bruce Ohr Fought Russian Organized Crime. Now He’s a Target of Trump.

WASHINGTON — When a lawyer for one of Russia’s 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.

“Occasionally you run across people from the Justice Department who have an air of superiority toward agents, and Bruce had none of that,” said Chris Swecker, a former senior F.B.I. official who worked with Mr. Ohr. “He was just the opposite. He was well liked at the F.B.I. and fought for their cases.”

Yeah, a real hero. Did he use fake info to set up the Rooskies, too?

Fake News.

[ifinnegan]

Notice how a supposed news article starts “once upon a time...”

[JustaTech]

...according to a former bureau official...

Would that be Comey or Strzok?

[granada]

No political bias FBI.
Did he ever exchange anti-Trump texts with his lover?

[MountainWalker]

Fake news doing some PR flacking for a left wing dirty cop on the eve of his congressional hearings.

Fake news doing some PR flacking

They sure are. They're one big, mockingbird infested American pravda. The good news is that nobody except for a few echo chamber libtards believes anything they say anymore.

“He’s a target of Trump”

,,,because he continued to use a de-listed FBI source (Steele) as an FBI source, to justify to a court the weaponizing the IC against a political rival... that’s all.

Bruce Orr is testifying to Congress today. Interesting timing on this fairytale. Orr was the link in the 5 Eyes spy conduit on Trump. They have the communications between Orr and 5 eyes so the truth will come out in his testimony.

[ckilmer]

The article did not say that fusion gps was paid by the dnc to fund the steele dossier.

Incredible bias from “All the Fake News That’s Fit to Print”

Pathetic

[Gay State Conservative]

Unlike many Freepers I'm *glad* that the NY Times exists.That's true because I can see what they think...what they're reporting...on a particular subject (major or minor) and know that the truth lies in the exact opposite direction in which they're pointing.

Yes...I know that *everything* they print is a lie.

New York slimes. Enough said.

Gee whiz, NY Times. You’re going to make us puke our guts out!

[rbg81]

When it comes to politics, expect the NYT to paper over the truth.

[jerod]

So he was pretty familiar with Russians, and Russian mobsters. He knew their political affiliations and philosophies and knew exactly how he could set up Trump. Interesting!

And this comes from the NY Times... Who would have thunk it?

They think they’re doing him a favor when in fact, they are laying out the groundwork for why he is actually guilty of sedition and treason.

[Flick Lives]

I’d guarantee this story has been planted by the FBI to attempt to protect Ohr and the “sources” are the very people who delivered the story to the NYTimes.

[MAGAthon]

what is extraordinary is Sara Carter goes on Hannity with her bombshell and her whistleblower’s attorney and, after the show, Fox spends the rest of the day airing all the FakeNews that is meant to distract.

no wonder the FakeNewsMSM just continues to come up with a new fantasy every day.

give thanks for Hannity and co. one day the truth will win.

It was so nice for Ohrs wive Maggie, who worked at Fusion GPS, to help Bruce Ohr in his ongoing fight against Russian organized crime.Maggie also maintained an international single side band ham radio unit at her home, so resourceful!

He’s a fu*kin hero alright!/S

BuaHAHAHAHAhaahahahaha!
