Newly revealed emails show Trump dossier author Christopher Steele was uneasy when President Trump fired Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in January 2017.
In a brief correspondence between Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, Steele pressed for a back-up plan to be put in place if his backchannel to the FBI was ever placed in jeopardy.
"B, doubtless a sad and crazy day for you re-SY [Sally Yates]. Just wanted to check you are OK, still in situ and able to help locally as discussed, along with your Bureau colleagues, with our guy if the need arises? Many Thanks and Best as Always, C," Steele wrote to Ohr on Jan. 31.
Ohr replied: "Bruce: Yes, a crazy day. I’m still here and able to help as discussed. I’ll let you know if that Changes. Thanks!"
"Thanks. You have my sympathy and support," Steele wrote back. "If you end up out though, I really need another (Bureau?) contact point/number who is briefed. We can’t allow our guy to be forced to go back home. It would be disastrous all round, though his position right now looks stable. A million thanks. C."
Ohr said in return: "Bruce: Understood. I can certainly give you an FBI contact if it becomes necessary."
The email exchange was obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a Freedom of Information lawsuit that led to the conservative watchdog group obtaining 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the Justice Department concerning Ohr's communications with Fusion GPS and Steele.
Ohr created an unofficial back channel between the FBI and Steele, a British ex-spy who was hired by Fusion GPS and provided agents with opposition research on President Trump, even after Steele was dropped as an FBI source for providing confidential information to the media.

Sounds like a seditious conspiracy to me.
How about you?

God bless Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch. They continue to unmask the plot to overthrow the President, something the Republican leaders of House and Senate refused to do in the two years they were in charge. Congressman Nunes of CA was the only one who was sincere about doing that job, and he received NO help from the Deep State flunkeys chairing the intel committees.
All those responsible for this coup are not brought to Justice, then the rule of law, as far as I’m concerned, is over. How can anyone be expected to show respect for such villainous treachery?
I agree. However a bigger crime may have been committed by the author of the confusing headline.
Steele is a foreign national employed by a foreign intelligence service. I don’t give a damn if he is alarmed or not - he has no business conspiring with petty bureaucrats to bring down an elected president. If he wants to spit in the faces of the 63 million of us who elected Trump let him do it from 3000 miles away.
They actually went after Nunez with a bunch of false charges
Steel’s involvement in this is a serious red flag. We basically have a foreign agent imbedded with our DOJ to smear the president of the United States.
Surely we could take out Steele with a drone strike, he is not a US citizen and he is actively working to overthrow the US government. Oh, and send the bill for the drone strike to May.
Sally Yates refused to follow the Law due to her personal Bias. She should have been thrown in Prison, not just Fired.
Who is “our guy”?
