As much hype as there was about Peter Strzok's testimony, it has been total crickets fro Bruce Ohr's testimony. Not a peep... not a leak... nothing even though it's been in the works for months.
7 House Republicans are there... NO House Democrats are there (only some staffers)
Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department official whose longtime relationship with former British spy Christopher Steele has drawn intense scrutiny from Capitol Hill Republicans, is facing questions Tuesday about the timing of his contacts with Fusion GPS, the firm that worked with Steele to create and disseminate his so-called dossier about President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia.
...
As a senior Justice Department staffer, Ohr passed along Steele’s information to the FBI, even after the bureau terminated its formal relationship with Steele over media leaks.
...
Gaetz, emerging from the interview after nearly two hours, said Ohr appeared to be answering questions forthrightly but that his testimony about the timing of his contacts with Fusion appeared to conflict with answers given to lawmakers by Fusion GPS cofounder Glenn Simpson and former FBI attorney Lisa Page.
“Either Bruce Ohr’s lying or Glenn Simpson’s lying,” Gaetz said, describing “a number of factual conflicts” between their testimony.
...
Meadows and Gaetz also re-emerged to suggest that Ohr’s testimony supports their belief that the FBI “withheld material facts” from the court when it applied for the surveillance warrant on Page.
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) told Fox News Monday night that he's seen the unredacted FISA applications used to spy on a Trump campaign volunteer, and none of those four applications mention Bruce or Nellie Ohr's involvement with dossier author Christopher Steele.
...
Ratcliffe told Fox News's Martha McCallum, "We know very clearly, and it's not in dispute, that Bruce Ohr had more than 60 contacts with Christopher Steele, and his wife was retained and paid to create the dossier with Christopher Steele.
...
"who at the Department of Justice and who at the FBI was aware of this information? When did they become aware of it, because it goes to those four separate FISA applications and the information that was sworn to before those judges."
Ratcliffe said former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe, and current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein all swore to the FISA court "that they were giving full and complete information about the dossier. And I can tell you, having seen the unredacted FISA applications, that Bruce Ohr and his involvement and Nellie Ohr and her involvement was never disclosed in any of the four applications."
Rosenstein said under oath that he was not aware of Ohr's involvement at that time. When he heard Ohr's wife was involved with Fusion and Russia, Rosenstein transferred him elsewhere.
Hannity and guests were talking about this on the radio today and will be on Hannity's Fox News TV show tonight. He said he will have more news on this. He just said Ohr 'confessed' to more than the investigators thought he would and he also contradicted Glen Simpson of Fusion GPS and Lisa Page. So one or all of them were lying = perjury
Rod Mr Peepers Rosenstein won't say when he knew Ohr's wife Nellie, worked for Fusion
Donald Trump has been compromised by Russia. He is a traitor and a danger to America.
Nope sorry. The people being removed plotted to overthrow the election and Presidency of the people. We voted for Trump and will vote him back in office in 2020.
Blue collar Democrats came over and elected Trump. Next time don't have such a chitty candidate.
The only thing is its a lie.
Trump hasn't removed anyone but Comey.
The guy that cost Hillary the election according to the Dems at the time Comey gave his famous news conference. Now he is well loved former FBI who hates Trump. Preventing Hillary's election is easy to forgive and now seen as a public service it seems.
Long live "Comey the Clown".
Now his wife Nellie Ohr is ordered to come before Congress. Who can keep their story straight as there are now at least 4 different stories...not one is matching.
While with the Justice Department, Bruce Ohr went after and tried to prosecute Semion Mogilevich, considered the "godfather" of the Russian Mafia, one of the most powerful mob bosses in the country. And now Trump is attacking Bruce Ohr.
"Nobody was tougher on Russian crime syndicates than Bruce Ohr in the 2000s."
Semion Mogilievich's name comes up in Paul Manafort's business dealings history and is known to be friends with Trump supporter Felix Sater.
