In a surprise move Friday, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, unilaterally released the 268-page transcript of an August 2018 interview with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr.
Collins explained that his patience with the Justice Department “has grown thin.” He took to the House floor and asked that the full, unredacted transcript be put on the record.
In his testimony, Ohr revealed that former British spy Christopher Steele was simultaneously paid by both the FBI and the Democrat opposition research firm Fusion GPS during the 2016 election.
"Mr. Speaker, last Congress, the Judiciary Committee interviewed multiple DOJ and FBI officials about their actions regarding the 2016 elections," Collins said. "People anticipate the Mueller report soon. Will he find any so-called 'collusion'? Or was the only 'collusion' among agency personnel who hated the president and started this investigation?" he added. "Our interview transcripts were pertinent to a congressional investigation, but the 115th Congress ended, the investigation was closed, and copies were shared with certain members of Congress."
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee retained Fusion GPS through lawyer Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie to dig up dirt about candidate Trump after he clinched the Republican nomination.
Fusion GPS hired Steele, who authored the still unverified, largely discredited dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government that the FBI used to obtain a warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Is this the bombshell that the Democrats have been looking for? /s
PAIN
:) :)
My bombshell count (since 9 November 2016) is at around 3,788. I don’t know if I can take anymore. I may need to seek psychological treatment.
I’ve been shell shocked since 2016....thus rnederef uselrddles
Boom! Next week for sure!
I know that from reading FR!
Hang ‘em High.
Yes!!!! About time what everyone else knew has put on record. No surely people will have to answer questions.
Now we only need some Republicans to grow a spine, and people will go to jail for treason. I’m not holding my breath.
Yes, they will.. "Credit or Debit?" "Do you want cash back?" "Is this amount correct?"
The head Republican, the one who is supposed to have the biggest spine of all (anyone remember the campaign slogan LOCK HER UP!) has the power to order the release of every transcript and yet he has done nothing but make veiled threats. The other side has badgered him nonstop for 2 years. What's the holdup?
He’s lost patience? What about us? We sit here and spout off on FR and NOT A *&$@ THING IS DONE ABOUT THESE CROOKS. And they are laughing at us. The chances that anything will be done are less than the chances of a pig flying.
Remember, the ONLY word you say to the FBI, should you have the occasion, is “LAWYER”. Nothing else.
I just wish we could get the two years back that Sleepy Sessions held the reins at DOJ.
It was not a full two years. “We’ve” had the last four months, nadda.
Haha :) Can I have fries with that?
