Bruce Ohr’s role in Russiagate

The New Neo Posted on by

Russiagate has so many elements and such complexity that it’s easy to lose track of the details. One detail I haven’t covered all that much is the role of Bruce Ohr, who was an Associate Deputy Attorney General during the Obama administration.

Eric Felton certainly has, however. Please read the whole thing, but here’s an excerpt:

Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr was perfectly positioned to advance the Russia collusion narrative. He had a rare set of relationships — ties to opposition researchers and the FBI — and would use his links to both in 2016 to connect federal law enforcement to those advancing Trump-Russia conspiracy theories.

A mystery remains: To some in his narrow circle, Ohr was upfront about the compromising nature of his connections, yet he hid that fact from officials charged with overseeing ethics at the Justice Department. Why, then, did Bruce Ohr admit to the FBI that his wife worked for opposition researchers Fusion GPS while failing to disclose it to the DoJ? The answer speaks volumes not just about how the Trump-Russia affair gained traction but about the way Washington works…

Fusion GPS didn’t just get Bruce Ohr’s valuable attention, the firm used it to make an ask. Nellie Ohr acknowledged in her own congressional interview what Fusion GPS had in mind when Steele invited her and her husband to breakfast at the Mayflower Hotel on July 30, 2016. “Chris Steele was hoping that Bruce would put in a word with the FBI to follow up on the information in some way.” He did just that.

As I said, please read the whole thing.

Bruce Ohr’s role in Russiagate — 14 Comments

  2. The truly most outrageous part of this entire saga is the fact that there were a group of 5,6,7? people doing the investigating and instigating on both the Clinton side and the Trump side. Any remotely honest person has to admit that this is crazy dangerous to have a handful of unelected bureaucrats meddling in election matters.

  3. Fusion GPS has been uncovered as centers for gang stalking.

    A far more extensive abuse of civil rights than even IRS + Lerner.

    But I am sure Americans will ignore it, as usual. Until it is too late, then the screaming to the heavens that something needs to be done, will begin.

    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”-Some guy Americans ignore all the time

    Why, then, did Bruce Ohr admit to the FBI that his wife worked for opposition researchers Fusion GPS while failing to disclose it to the DoJ?

    The DoJ must be using obsolete facebook data mining agents. It should have been easy to find Ohr’s wife’s info on facebook. Then again, maybe they don’t use social media.

  4. I keep wondering if Adm. Mike Rogers as NSA chief knew a great deal about spygate, and if there is any way he can testify about it, without Trump authorizing the uncovering of the NSA’s capabilities and practices. The latter is unlikely I suspect.

    In one of the articles that I’ve read about Rogers terminating the FBI access to the NSA surveillance database, they specifically mentioned that the data-mining of that database had been turned over to the FBI. The FBI had then handed that capability over to FBI contractors, one of whom was Fusion GPS.

    But we should not worry about any of this, because when the re-authorization of The Patriot Act came up, Dick Cheney assured us that those data-miners at the NSA and their monitors at the FISC were all upstanding Americans who would never violate the letter or spirit of the law. He then said something to the effect that, “It’s not like there are Lois Lerner’s inside the NSA.”

    Why not? There was an Ed Snowden. Snowden was one of more than 900 sysadmin people inside the NSA with unlimited system authorities. And if the NSA surveillance data is being thrown around in a cavalier manner, that opens it up a much larger universe people. Like Fusion GPS.

  5. the very anti-Trump Steele and Glenn Simpson of oppo-research firm Fusion GPS had SPECIAL ACCESS to an official at the State Department named Jonathan Winer, who worked under then-Secretary of State John Kerry. [snip] Winer was “the Libya guy” at the State Department. These newly obtained documents show that after the 2016 election, Winer worked with Victoria Nuland at State and also a top aide for Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) to target President-elect Trump.

    judging from these documents, it certainly wasn’t just the FBI going after Trump.

    The Obama State Department was, as Fitton put it, “all hands on deck,” with Steele joining forces with longtime Clinton cronies Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer to create the “Russia” material. There was more than one “dossier” Remember the speculation that Cody Shearer had actually authored one?

    some of this material was apparently created by Winer within the State Department itself.

    Documents show that Winer was in contact with Simpson in September of 2016 and then immediately contacted Nuland at the State Department. Later, after the election, they worked closely with Steny Hoyer’s aide on the “Russia” stuff, which Steele, of course, was helping on. According to Fitton, Steele was “extremely close” to Jonathan Winer, who had been his contact at the State Department for years.

    Steele was able to launder the phony “Russia” information into the State Department through his pal Winer.
    [snip]
    someone at the State Department was feeding classified “Russia” information to certain members of Congress in the days right before Trump’s inauguration. In fact, Fitton characterized the State Department officials as “desperate” to get it to them.
    [snip]
    This goes way beyond Comey, Strzok, Page and the others at the FBI. This is the executive branch and the legislative branch as well. And why would that surprise anyone, now that we know that congressional Democrats on the separate House committees have signed “memoranda of understanding” that they will coordinate their efforts to go after Trump.

    too much to post…

  6. The Hammer is the Stasi-like secret surveillance system created by CIA/NSA/FBI contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery for Obama’s intelligence chiefs, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

    The Hammer, under the Obama administration, negated every American’s constitutional rights to privacy, turning the United States into a police state where the federal government was weaponized by the Obama administration against its political enemies.

    According to the secretly-recorded audio tapes released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow, Brennan’s and Clapper’s illicit super surveillance system “The Hammer” wiretapped Trump “a zillion times.”

    Late that Sunday evening, just hours after General McInerney’s radio appearance, Strzok and Page exchanged a text message that explicitly referenced Dennis Montgomery and Montgomery’s attorney Larry E. Klayman.

    Only a few hours earlier, General McInerney had referenced Montgomery and Klayman on “Operation Freedom,” exactly the same names about which Strzok and Page were now texting.

    General McInerney appeared on Dr. Dave Janda’s “Operation Freedom” that broadcasts from terrestrial radio station WAAM 1600.

    The next morning, the Russian Collusion investigation was born.

    let me guess, after the Sickle was to cut americas throat?

  7. It is likely there are other conspirators that have remained unmasked so far. The first one to come clean gets the best deal. Who will it be?

  9. Dick cheney is a bit out of the loop.

    I suspect he hasn’t been debriefed or briefed on what’s going on with Cabal vs Alliance.

  11. Artfldgr: interesting comments, but it would be useful if you would copy-paste the urls for the articles you are quoting.

    I turned up a few posts with essentially the same information, though, and a bit more background.

    looks like it cites from the same source as Art’s excerpts but not identical to his

    This looks like the same one Art used; other hits showed up for 2017, none in a big-name website or press outlet.

    Additional information here, with fewer histrionics, and a really extensive update:

  12. Worthwhile read. Thank you. And:

    Does “..make an ask” make anybody else cringe?

    Yes.
