Daily Caller: Fusion GPS, a firm paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, was paying the wife of a senior Department of Justice official as part of its efforts to gather opposition research on Trump, and the official then brought that research to the FBI — raising the question of to what extent the firm may have been attempting to pay for heightened access to the criminal justice system, and whether they would have hired her absent her spousal connection.
A declassified memo said Bruce “Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife’s opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs’ relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the” court when it was used to obtain a surveillance warrant.
Bruce Ohr was deputy associate attorney general until December. House investigators determined that he met personally with Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS’ founder.
The FBI has limited resources to deal with a firehouse of information, so people seeking the FBI’s attention could potentially benefit from greasing the wheels in order to get info to the front of the queue and to a high level.
“The money sweetened the pot for the Ohrs, and it certainly made it easier for Fusion to get the dossier to be used before the court if they made that payment to Bruce Ohr’s wife,” former judge and Texas GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert told The Daily Caller News Foundation. more here
Not too far fetched to believe, also it wouldn’t be surprising to find they had willing sellers. The government is infested with leftist scum that care little about anything but their own enrichment.
That supposition places too much importance on FusionGPS.
Pulling the strings was Hillary (and Obama as assist) and her campaign. The influence, while appearing mutual to a degree, existed IMO 99% to benefit said candidate. Nellie Ohr was hired by GPS to write/concoct most of the dossier…*not* Steele nor even his Russian agents/contacts…FOR HILLARY.
Who was the crooked judge in all this?
I’m sure the perpetrators of this scheme made sure they went before a judge of the ilk, otherwise, the important questions would have been asked by the judge and the warrant would have been denied.
If I’m wrong, wouldn’t the judge be locking up those perpetrators for contempt of court, after seeing the memo describing testimony to Congress?
Hillary fed the FBI a fake document on Trump thereby providing the reason for spying on Trump’s campaign.
All participants were so willing to go down this route, I wouldn’t be surprise if the FBI actually asked Hillary’s campaign to “find something we can work with!”

JudgeS.
Three if not all four FISC Judges are corrupt.
Of the list of FISC Judges, only 3 are located in Washington, DC; the FBI had to shop one of their ‘extensions’ out of town.
But noooooooo, no intention to deceive at all….
I astounds me when married couples are treated as totally separate entities with respect to conflicts of interest, both legally and for reporting purposes. Hiding behind the taboo against criticism of the “woman with a career of her own”, these people can run the classic inside/outside scam. How many such couples can you or I name? Not nearly so many as there are, I’ll bet.
These people should join Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Again, the American people are being jerked about by the swamp creatures. They all stink to high heaven.
I’m sick of people getting so ‘excired’ about one more piece of criminal or traitorous activity of a politician.
Too many of us, both sides, allow ourselves to be jerked about by the aristocratic political machine, called the swamp and MSM.
It’s like trying to figure out which piece of cat shit belongs to which cat, in a cat litter box, over used by a houseful of cats.
Time to dump the litter box and start clean.
@The Deplorable TWP: And yet the left wanted Clarence Thomas removed from the Supreme Court because his wife is a conservative columnist!?

But according to the rules and laws written by the cats. Correct? Under their supervision. Worshipful that they deign command us.
Because that’s who we are.
Preposterous!… Next you’ll be saying that Hillary sent money through an intermediary to Andrew McCabe’s wife… LOL!… Oh… wait…
@The Deplorable TWP
Exactly! We know how many people in the news media are married to politically connected spouses. If the incest is that bad in what passes for journalism these days, imagine the financial skulduggery that goes on. The Clintons are role models for the little people who can only scam $500,000 here, $650,000 there. Sooner or later, it adds up to real money.
