BRUCE OHR WAS GO-BETWEEN FOR FIRED STEELE, DOJ

8-3-2019 < SGT Report 53 338 words
 

from WND:



Government watchdog Judicial Watch has obtained hundreds of pages of redacted records from the Department of Justice showing that Bruce Ohr, a former associate deputy attorney general, regularly communicated with former British spy Christopher Steele and carried information from him to the DOJ.


Judicial Watch said this was after Steele, a Fusion GPS contractor who worked for the same company as Ohr’s wife, was dismissed by the FBI.


The 339 pages also show Ohr set up meetings with Steele, talked routinely on the phone and provided him various helps.



The records came through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request for government records.


The documents also show that Nellie Ohr sent “numerous emails and reports to Bruce Ohr and other Justice Department officials on Russia issues,” Judicial Watch said.


“These smoking gun documents show that Christopher Steele, a Hillary Clinton operative and anti-Trump foreign national, secretly worked hand-in-glove with the Justice Department on its illicit targeting of President Trump,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.


“These documents leave no doubt that for more than a year after the FBI fired Christopher Steele for leaking, and for some 10 months after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Bruce Ohr continued to act as a go-between for Steele with the FBI and Justice Department. The anti-Trump Russia investigation, now run by Robert Mueller, has been thoroughly compromised by this insider corruption.”


Judicial Watch earlier released 412 pages of documents regarding FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants targeting Carter Page, who had been a Trump campaign adviser. The documents seem to confirm the FBI and DOJ misled the courts in withholding the material information that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC were behind the “intelligence” used to persuade the courts to approve the FISA warrants that targeted the Trump team.
