Embattled Justice Department official Bruce Ohr had contact in 2016 with then-colleague Andrew Weissmann, who is now a top Robert Mueller deputy, as well as other senior FBI officials about the controversial anti-Trump dossier and the individuals behind it, two sources close to the matter told Fox News.
The sources said Ohr's outreach about the dossier as well as its author, ex-British spy Christopher Steele; the opposition research firm behind it, Glenn Simpsons Fusion GPS; and his wife Nellie Ohr's work for Fusion occurred before and after the FBI fired Steele as a source over his media contacts. Ohr's network of contacts on the dossier included: former FBI agent Peter Strzok; former FBI lawyer Lisa Page; former deputy director Andrew McCabe; Weissmann and at least one other DOJ official; and a current FBI agent who worked with Strzok on the Russia case.
Weissmann was kept "in the loop" on the dossier, a source said, while he was chief of the criminal fraud division. He is now assigned to Special Counsel Muellers team. Federal prosecutors Andrew Weissman (L) and Leslie Caldwell smile outside federal court in Houston June 15, 2002 after a jury found the Andersen accounting firm guilty of obstructing justice in an investigation of its client, Enron Corporation. The 12-member jury, which heard nearly five weeks of testimony before U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon, found Andersen criminally intended to keep Enron audit records away from a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry.

“Somehow they recovered after McCarthy.”
McCarthy was one of the good guys. And he has been proven right in what he said. The deep state did to him what they are trying to do to Trump.
I caught a glimpse if Rachel Maddow talking about Ohr. According to her, Ohr is shielding the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic, all by himself, and we may be headed for destruction if he is sidelined.
Why is no one asking this Question? Hillary claims to have paid $14,000,000 to the Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee,for the “Russia Piss Dossier’, yet Perkins claims they only spent $1,000,000.
Weissmann was involved in the ‘Dossier’ and investigating Manafort BEFORE the Mueller appointment. This is as crooked as its gets.
Andrew Weismann is EVIL INCARNATE!!!
Bttt!
I want Mueller indicted and disbarred.
Anything Weismann is part of prosecuting should be tossed. Get him the hell out of ANY position of power and authority!
These people should be unable to safely walk down any street in America.....
Awwww this is breaking before a long holiday weekend! May our nation’s patriots be paying close attention. This is huge!!
Mueller is done. Weismann is done. Ohr is done. Hillary is done. They have multiple smoking guns now. Their power just went poof!
It’s actually coming out. Damn.
“McCarthy was one of the good guys. And he has been proven right in what he said. The deep state did to him what they are trying to do to Trump.”
Amen brother! There was a time when I was younger that I despised McCarthy. Then I listened to what he actually said, and realized, every utterance has come to pass.
Truth is abrasive. Always has been, always will be.
CMail, you are correct.
I have zero respect for anyone at these and other federal agencies.
Remember how we were told a whole passel of fbi agents would resign in protest when Hillary was absolved for her great many misdeeds?
Guess no one resigned or even peotested.
Too busy watching the clock til their retirement time like most damned federal workers.
I think it’s time for Federal Marshals to raid Mueller’s operation and impound all documents to be used to sort out the corruption in this coup. Since it has National Security implications in his attempt to overthrow the current government, there could also be a case or national or National Guard units. FBI, CIA, doj at the moment cannot be trusted with maintaining Justice in this corrupt environment. President Trump does not have a lot of friends in DC what did promise to give power back to the citizens and take it away from the Lefty bureaucrats and the right wing bureaucrats. He’s neither and the people should be very upset by now. But how was he going to do that? Personally I’ve heard and believe that is only real friends are in the military and would do whatever he asked to support their country and hometowns if the Deep state tries to take away their election. What would Washington do.? What would Andrew Jackson do? What would Roosevelt do? Either one. What would Kennedy do? Maybe we better skip that last one, we know how that turned out.
He blackmailed politicians though.
“He blackmailed politicians though”
Nope, he did not. Deep state propaganda. That is what they do.
well if we want to put our head in the sand and make up our own reality I guess we can all be right and believe what we want then.
Thanks for the ping. Apparently, the FBI and the DOJ colluded to stop Trump.
In effect, that was the outcome. We know Mueller will do nothing to "hurt" the reputation of "his" FBI, so the investigation is a fraud.
I believe this will occur after a "triggering" event, like some false Mueller charge or official claim. This is definitely a chess match, unfortunately, and not a legitimate investigation.
Make up my own reality?
Since McCarthy was before my time, my reality concerning him was fashioned by William F Buckley. Now, if you can trump Buckley, give it a try.
Which means Weissman was part of a phony fisa warrant, a fake dossier, fraud upon a court, and the effort to get Trump from the beginning
