I’m finding this whole Bruce Ohr situation fascinating at the moment. He testified to Republican’s in Congress yesterday about his communications with Christopher Steele. Whilst some of the Republicans work has looked like a witch hunt to me, this with Ohr is interesting to see. He works in the DOJ and was very high up the chain but had nothing to do with the Russia Investigation. Yet he had regular contact with Cristopher Steele whilst the Steele Dossier was being compiled and Ohr’s wife worked for Fusian GPS who had hired Steele. From the outside looking in, it is strange that he was having regular contact with Steele even after the FBI ended Steele’s role as FBI Informant.
Now he might have been working on his own volition or he could have been working from direction of Comey, Lynch, Yates or someone else in the DOJ. Ohr reportedly gave some names of handlers and DOJ officials so we’ll find out down the line if anything substantial comes from it such as subpoenas being given. It will be interesting if it comes out that there was DOJ wrongdoing because it effects the Russia Investigation from before Mueller was appointed.
Overall it still doesn’t change that Trump will be going down though. Conspiracy, Obstuction of Justice, Campaign Finance Violations and Financial Crimes stemming from the Trump Organization and Trump Foundation are still on the table.
A funny story came out in recent days about Devin Nunes, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, flew to London to meet with the leaders of MI6, MI5 and GCHQ. They never met with him and instead he met with the Deputy National Security Advisor.
Now the official line is that they couldn’t schedule him in but I, and the reporter who wrote the story, believe his record of leaks and distorting facts to fit a narrative has damaged his reputation and the Intelligence Agencies didn’t want him learning information about Christopher Steele’s record with MI6 etc in case it would be leaked or distorted and in turn possibly damage Steele and his past sources.
Let’s also not forget that Steele is on a Russian hit list so it’s right not to trust the conniving, Trump protector that is Devin Nunes.
