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 Simpson’s 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 Mueller’s 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.

The conflicts of interest within the DOJ and FBI are numerous and corrupt.

President Nixon would disagree with you.
I don’t think the $14-million talked about....is a valid number.
Perkins does say and have proof of the $1.04-million paid out for the dossier.
I think the Hillary campaign folks paid roughly $12.4 million for overall Perkin’s ‘service’ (meaning a number of jobs, not just the dossier).
From my prospective....for some idiot to pay money for a 35-page mostly faked-up document, you’d have to be crazy to pay a million dollars. Just on that alone, the Hillary campaign staff looks awful foolish.
Pretty powerful, they had all the power and goods on every R candidate. They surveiled, they unmasked, they leaked to the press who then carried their corrupt water. "17" agencies, gave access to raw NSA data to private contractors, hundreds of them they say.
The federal career employees, had all the tools of intelligence at their beckon call, a cooperating Potus egging them on, college professors, all the press including Fox, most of the elected Republicans, all the Democrats working round the clock to prevent Trump from winning and they FAILED, utter fail.
Not sure what frightens me more the shear incompetence of all of them not succeeding in stopping Trump or that they tried it at all.
