Christopher Steele Told DOJ’s Bruce Ohr He Was ‘Afraid They Will Be Exposed’ After Comey’s Firing
2018-08-18
[DAILYCALLER] Dossier author Remington Christopher Steele told Justice Department official Bruce Ohr after James Comey’s firing last year that he was "afraid they will be exposed."

What exactly Steele was concerned about having exposed after Comey’s May 9, 2017 firing is not made clear in Ohr’s notes, which were reported by Fox News.

The text message is part of a trove of emails, text messages and handwritten notes that the Justice Department has provided to Congress as part of an investigation into the government’s handling of the Steele dossier.

Steele told Ohr in a May 10, 2017 phone call that he was "very concerned abt Comey’s firing ‐ afraid they will be exposed," according to Fox.

Steele’s interactions with Ohr have been a focal point for congressional Republicans in their investigation into the government’s possible abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The dossier, which Steele wrote on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC, was used to obtain FISA warrants on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans say that the dossier was not verified when the FBI used it to obtain the spy warrants.

Page, an energy consultant who joined the Trump team in March 2016, has vehemently denied the dossier’s allegations about him. In the 35-page report, Steele alleges that Page was the Trump campaign’s main contact to the Kremlin.

Justice Department documents given to Congress show that Steele and Ohr were in contact all throughout 2016 and 2017, though Ohr’s involvement was not revealed until December. Following a report from Fox News on Ohr’s contacts with Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, he was demoted as assistant deputy attorney general at the Justice Department.

#3  It must be pretty serious with Ohr if POTUS is naming him and forewarning what he intends to do to him. Usually he stays mum and just does it, whatever he plans.

#2  I'm beginning to think the Clintons orchestrated 911 before he left office so the bush admin could look like the fall guy, then bring in Obumble to show s how good the dems are at getting their man ( Osama bin Laden) then pass the torch back to the Clinitons so they can continue duping the American
deplorbles and also continue to slowly insinuate a socialist menu on the unwitting American public, deplorables and Dems alike, but The cunt lost and threw their plans into a tailspin, or is it..... is Brennan doing his job perfectly and have the Scum (democrats) got some other long term trick up their sleeves? just sayi'
