Stunning: Ohr Testimony Reveals Top DOJ Officials Briefed About Steele Before FISA
saraacarter.com ^ | 1/17/2019 | Sara A. Carter

Posted on 01/16/2019 6:54:40 PM PST by bitt

Three top Senior Justice Department officials, two who are senior prosecutors on Robert Mueller’ Special Counsel, met with Bruce Ohr in the summer of 2016, well before the FBI sought a FISA warrant on a Trump campaign official. Ohr informed the trio of DOJ officials about his close contact with former British Spy Christopher Steele, whose dossier was used as the bulk of evidence to obtain the warrant to spy on Carter Page.

Ohr, who was then the Associate Deputy Attorney General, told members of Congress during his closed-door testimony in August 2018 that he had informed senior officials that he was delivering information he was gathering from Steele and Glenn Simpson, the founder of embattled research firm Fusion GPS.

Ohr’s testimony also had a stunning revelation that Andrew Weissmann, who was then head of the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud section and now Deputy Special Counsel for Robert Mueller, was also briefed by Ohr on his meetings with Steele during the summer of 2016, shortly after Ohr met with Steele. The testimony, which has not yet been made public, was authenticated by sources from congressional testimony to SaraACarter.com.

Under intense questioning from former North Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, Ohr named the officials he informed about his contact with Steele.

“I spoke with some people in the Criminal Division, other career officials who dealt with some of these matters,” Ohr told Gowdy.

“Any names?” asked Gowdy.

Andrew Weissmann KNEW and Adam Schitt KNEW and Mueller KNEW.

Mueller’s probe is a hoax.

Mueller should have never started.

Mueller has NO integrity.

There are those who say that Sara Carter (and John Solomon) are plugged into a certain somebody.

I dare not say his name.

Mueller’s probe is a hoax.


And based on this Trey Gowdy knew. He’s been making the rounds selling a book and continues to carry water for the Mueller Coup. This is bipartisan sedition against POTUS. No doubt in my mind.

No one will prosecute any of it.

It would all inexorably lead back to Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected and appointed participated in the violation of the Constitution.

If Trey Gowdy is involved, then the entire matter will be a white wash job, swept under the carpet, never to see true justice. Gowdy is all smoke and no fire.

If this is being revealed, it is because the powers that be already know that the fix is in, and there will be no individuals held accountable.

We live in a two-tier justice system - one for our overlords, and one for us peasants.

Of course they knew. Just like they knew Obama wasn’t constitutionally qualified to run for President.

“We live in a two-tier justice system - one for our overlords, and one for us peasants.”

It’s becoming quite apparent that we’ve morphed into the old soviet union. Get your yellow vests while they’re cheap.
