OHR’S COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY IGNORED BY MUELLER

August 28, 2018

WHILE MUELLER CATTLE-PRODS  GOP POLS TO BELCH UP DECADES OLD EVIDENCE OF WHITE COLLAR CRIMES, HE IGNORES THE BLARING CRIMINAL  CONSPIRACY TO TILT THE OUTCOME OF THE 2016  ELECTION BY ELEMENTS IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT STARING HIM IN THE FACE IN THE HALLS OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NEXT TO HIS DC OFFICE. 

Today Mr. Bruce Ohr,  the recently demoted and now former Associate Deputy Attorney General and former Director of the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force  has had his day in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee where he (with his four attorneys) was grilled behind close doors for seven hours.  Brief reports and comments from attendees indicate Mr. Ohr —a key element in that conspiracy—had difficulty remembering much beyond his recent humiliating demotions.  

Ohr was grilled because it appears that he is one of the members of the Justice Department secret cabal of conspirators (Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Sally Yates, and Andrew McCabe—and others) who conspired to undermine the candidacy of Donald Trump prior to the election and then after the election—-after the People had voted—— to continue to undermine ( a form of treachery that some would class as treason)  the legitimately elected  President—Mr. Trump.  

The crux of the matter is related to the now infamous “Steele Dossier” (a salacious unverified opposition research document falsely touted as “intelligence”).  Evidence in the form of handwritten and electronic correspondence makes clear that Ohr  and his wife Nellie appear to be the conduit of this anti-Trump sleeze into the halls of Justice Department and to the FBI where it was misrepresented as evidence when it was presented  to the FISA court judges to initiate an illegal scheme to spy on the Trump campaign.  This is one of the most egregious acts in any democracy—government spying on a private citizen.  In this case the FISA court misled by the government appellants used the Steele document to tap the phones— of Carter Page, a minor functionary in the Trump campaign..  But often ignored by media is that their actual design was not their interest in Mr. Page—who had been investigated in depth by the FBI earlier.  The more sinister design was that by tapping into Page’s electronic and voice messages they could “spy” on all the others he communicated within the Trump campaign—the GOP candidate and all of his associates.  Carter Page was not of interest to the domestic spy team—they were after voice messages of Trump and others in his team.  The President did claim early in the transition period—that “they” were tapping his phones in Trump Tower—-he was ridiculed for the charge—but as in many other things he was right—they did!  

The story is a bit complex.  The characters in this shocking conspiracy were: left-leaning Justice Department individuals (Strzok, Page et al listed above ), a British national who once had been an MI6 spy (Christopher Steele) , paid Russian informants, and an American political “research” company (Fusion GPS) and its key employee Nellie Ohr (wife of Bruce Ohr —the ) as well as tens of millions of dollars of political money. . 

Ohr’s wife, Nellie a purported Russian “expert”  was hired as a private contractor retained by the opposition research firm known as “Fusion GPS”.  Fusion GPS, (headed by Glenn Simpson), was the opposition research agency  hired by the Clinton campaign during the last election to provide “opposition” (any dirty stories) to be used in political ads against Mr. Trump in the 2016 election.  In order to attain this goal Fusion hired a former British spy, foreign agent Christopher Steele.  Steele was a  defrocked M16 spy, who at this time operated his own “opposition research” firm in London.  The fact is that Steele was an entrepreneur selling information (true or false) to willing and desperate political  clients—like Clinton  who were awash in money.  Steele long ago exposed in Russia as a British agent and thus was unable to enter Russia to validate any evidence he acquired—(but keep in mind his actual objective was not valid “MI6 intelligence” –his goal was only gossip that would have only to pass the “stink test” so it could be sold to eager clients ). All of Steele’s information was paid for and was most was  second and third hand gossip—as well as  fantasy stories dreamt up by inventive and desperate Russians willing to say anything for a buck (or a British Pound).  

Steele—a foreigner— was reported to have a powerful anti-Trump bias—for some unknown reason—but his prime motivation was cash.  He made millions of dollars flogging his twenty six page fantasy/gossip document.  The money came from the Clinton campaign and perhaps the Clinton Global Initiative.   

Though Steele was known to the FBI, he had no way to legitimately pass on his unverified political document to the Justice Department and to the FBI.   It was Ohr and his wife Nellie who provided that egregious service for a no doubt for a fee to Steele.  Once, the Ohrs placed the Steele document (supported by the Clinton camp money) into the hands of Peter Strzok et.al.  it was used by that elite and rabidly anti-Trump , (anti-democratic -small d) and apparently not too smart top-brass of the FBI and Justice Department as the poison fruit of a poison tree to gin up a wholly illegal investigation into a political opponent’s camp and then later after the election—as a treasonous means to unseat a legitimately elected President.  

What is most distressing is the fact that all this conspiracy and collusion sits right in front of Mueller in the Justice Department, while Mr. Mueller ignores the facts and buries his nose in the backsides of former Trump associates and their tax and other foibles that occurred years before the 2016 election.  The actions of Mueller’s team  is so distressing because it simply  underscores the depth and breadth of corruption and bias in Washington DC.  President Trump, perhaps ironically, seems to be the only honest man in town. 

This FBI/Russian “collusion” scandal and its ramifications is a monstrous wound to our body politic—that dwarfs the Whitewater and Watergate scandals of the past. Yet sadly our media, infected as with a strain of Ebola-like—Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) have ignored the facts.  These organizations need a thorough clean-out to regain the respect of the people. 


An equally egregious and perhaps even more dangerous scandal over the long term is that of the complicity and utter bias  of American journalism-whic ignore facts, manufacture stories, mis-quote, place emphasis where it does no belong all to  promote their own particular anti-Trump story-line and bias.    (The few exceptions: Glenn Greenwald and others like him) The vast majority of the fourth estate has abandoned its post as the guardian of the truth.  They are blinded by hate.  How will they ever recover their reputations as guardians of the truth?   Who will believe them?  How will they ever be trusted again?
