OHR'S WIFE NELLIE HELPED STEELE CONCOCT THE FAKE DOSSIER
In recently released testimony, Bruce Ohr, an Obama-era Justice Department official, stated that the salacious discredited anti-Trump dossier authored by Christopher Steele was based on “hearsay” and not tangible evidence.
Ohr said that the FBI under James Comey used the discredited dossier as "evidence" in a successful FISA application to obtain a warrant to conduct surveillance on Carter Page, a former adviser to President Trump’s 2016 campaign. Comey signed the first of three FISA applications in late October 2016. All three applications repeatedly cited the dossier.
- Ohr’s closed-door testimony was delivered last year before a joint Judiciary and Oversight Committee “task force.” A transcript of the testimony was released last week.
- Ohr also testified that Steele’s dossier was linked to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
- Ohr testified that the dossier information was “biased” against Trump and that Steele was “desperate that Trump not be elected.”
- Ohr revealed the role of Fusion GPS in producing the dossier, and that his wife, Nellie Ohr, worked at the time for Fusion GPS.
- Ohr recounted maintaining direct contact with Steele even after the former British spy was terminated as an FBI source over reports that Steele was communicating with reporters.
- Ohr served as a back-channel between the FBI and Steele.
Obama's FBI and DOJ both failed to inform the FISA court that Steele’s dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the
DEMOCRAT National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.
