| Emails show 2016 links among Steele, Ohr, Simpson ‐ with Russian oligarch (Oleg Deripaska) in background |
| 2018-08-10 |
| [Wash Examiner] Emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch's behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. The emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele's research and the oligarch's affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation. All of which appears to indicate the allegations against Donald Trump are little more than deep state projection. |

| #2 More on Vlad Putin pal and confidant Oleg Deripaska from Wiki: In April 2018, the United States imposed sanctions on him and 23 other Russian nationals.[117][118] In the statement from the United States Department of the Treasury it was stated that Deripaska "has been accused of threatening the lives of business rivals, illegally wiretapping a government official, and taking part in extortion and racketeering". According to the US treasury statement there are allegations that Deripaska ordered the murder of a businessman, and had links to a Russian organized crime group.[119] |

| #1 Mueller may have a conflict — and it leads directly to a Russian oligarch (Oleg Deripaska).... as mentioned in the above article. In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007. Yes, that’s the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller’s current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration. |
