After Major New Revelations of Russia Investigation Abuse, How Bruce Ohr Still Has a Job Remains a Mystery

[Red State] Yesterday, more major news broke in regards to not only FISA abuse, but also where the information for the Steele dossier came from. RedState reported on it here, citing Catherine Herridge sharing newly declassified documents requested by Sen. Ron Johnson.

The implications of this are just stunning. Bruce Ohr, a DOJ official, was meeting with a partisan political operative in Glen Simpson who was then sharing information from a Russian intelligence officer. There wasn’t even any ambiguity here. Ohr knew exactly where this information was coming from. These supposed "professionals" who we are told we must trust were feeding Russian disinformation, not even attempting to verify it, into FISA warrants. It’s like something out of a movie.

But while others like James Comey and Andrew McCabe have rightly been fired for the malfeascence that went on, Bruce Ohr continues to garner a government check. In fact, Ohr was given a massive raise and a bonus throughout the Russia investigation scandal. I guess it pays to be a conduit for Hillary Clinton’s Russian disinformation.

Think about how ridiculous this all is. The entire basis of the investigation was based on the notion that Donald Trump was secretly communicating with the Russians. Yet, at the exact same time that allegation was being pursued with everything the FBI had, the DOJ themselves were colluding with a Russian intel officer. That bad information was then used to get an illegal FISA warrant, and Bruce Ohr, the guy at the center of facilitating all this bad information from hostile sources, only got "demoted."

Despite all of this, there are people who still insist the DOJ and FBI did nothing wrong, that this was all just an avalanche of "mistakes." To be frank, one would have to be an absolute idiot to believe that at this point. You don’t meet with and take information from a partisan operative by Glen Simpson by mistake. You don’t then use that unverified information in FISA warrants by mistake. You don’t continue to pursue the investigation after knowing it was Russian disinformation by mistake. All of this was purposeful. They were looking for something to use to take down Donald Trump and if it was garbage from the Russians, they were willing to use it.

#1 Touch him or Nellie and the entire Intelligence Community, Christopher Steele bi-lateral project goes down. Brennan, Obama, and others included.

I fear too much time has past and nothing will ever come of this....or perhaps I'm just having a 'grassy knoll' moment.

#2 A very compelling mystery. As soon as I solve the one occupying me now - why most politicians become richer - I'll attend to it.

#3 If the Trunks take the House back in November, they'd better put a high priority on reforming the Civil Service system or give up governing altogether.

#4 Judging from the pictures, this must not be the thread about a beauty pageant.

#7 I wonder if any of these seditionists will be prosecuted? They tried to take down a candidate and duly elected president. That is as serious as it gets. If nothing is done to bring these cabalists to justice, the "rule of law" will be destroyed in the U.S.A.

#8 It's already destroyed. Nothing's going to be done. All this Russia-gate and "lock her up" stuff is all penny matinée material not unlike the Kardashians.

But if your name is Roger Stone or Paul Manafort or Julian Assange, then that's different.

#9 /\ I fear you are right Clem, and with each passing day without indictments and convictions, a further confirmation.

#10 The worst of many awful consequences attending this shitshow is the stranglehold it has placed around Trump's policy toward Russia. We have wasted almost four years in which OrangeMan could have reached an understanding over Ukraine, sanctions, NATO and Syria.

Had we achieved that, we would today be in a position to peel Russia away from China, and completely surround and contain China with hostile states aligned to us.

Those bastards at FBI State CIA and Fusion didn't just conspire to subvert the election results; they have greatly undermined our national security.

Is this not treason?

#11 It is treason Lex, and the weakness in this is Kelli since she leads to Brennan. I wonder ow about the obscure reference at the beginning of th unraveling of this about her late in life license in shortwave radio. The one communication medium not fully monitored and recorded you our NSA. Old school tradecraft might be the dead end for investigators if she keeps her mouth shut?

#13 The one communication medium not fully monitored and recorded you our NSA.

Or so they say. It's absurdly low bandwidth and mostly bad quality audio. Maybe hard to analyze, but not a big task to capture. Especially with a Trumpet, perhaps?

#14 Maybe he's cooperating to allow minor hand slap for him and Nellie then a quiet retirement.

#15 and completely surround and contain China with hostile states aligned to us.

Lex, Moscow was until recently the capitol of an empire that controlled over half the world and influenced the rest as an equal of and competitor to the U.S. They will never align with us, any more than France has really done (though the French empire ended almost a century ago after the second world war), though like France they will work with us on some projects of mutual benefit.

Yes, we could have reached understandings about Ukraine, etc, but the only understandings that would be acceptable to Moscow would involve us backing off completely and letting them do as they please over there, while conceding nothing on our side of the world.

#16 I see your point, TW, and agree the Russians and the Americans are too different culturally politically and socially to ever be more than allies of convenience.

But the time requires such an alliance. China is a mortal threat to this country. We need Russia on our side.
