Oleg’s Story: Yes, The Russians Were Involved in The 2016 Election

Conservative Tree House: In the past several days a name has resurfaced, only this time with some more attention than in prior reports.  The name is Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who is likely much more of a central figure than previously explained.

Byron York recently outlined new documents showing the communication between Trump Dossier author Christopher Steele and DOJ official Bruce Ohr.  Within the early 2016 discussions, Chris Steele appeared to be advocating to Bruce Ohr on behalf of Oleg Deripaska who was banned from travel into the U.S. by the State Department.

(Byron York) 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.

I strongly urge you to read the York article because I’m going to expand on the Deripaska angle from the context of the reader understanding it.

From the emails it appears Steele and Ohr were discussing Deripaska during a period of February to May (ish) of 2016.  This is important context moving forward because this was the period during the presidential primary candidacy of Donald Trump as the GOP nominee was solidified; Trump won.   This is also the period when we know that “contractors” with the FBI were doing unauthorized searches of the NSA and FBI database for opposition research…. this connects to Fusion GPS.  more here

  1. Great info provided by sundance……I really like reading the comment section. There are some really insightful and informative comments from some really bright people.

  2. The deep state is still trying to get their claws on Kim Dotcom, too. He just lost another battle in his attempt to avoid extradition to the US. I imagine Warner really wants to chat with him about Seth Rich and some other things.

  4. mark warner, the senator from Virginia, who took feinstein’s place as senate intelligence committee co-chair, has deripaska’s phone number if anyone needs to get in touch with him. feinstein probably has it too, but she’s busy with dirty laundry right now.

  5. I’d like to find out just what it is they have on Sessions. He’s doing nothing but nibbling around the edges with issues easily addressed by underlings and he won’t leave.
    With all the talk about things going on behind the curtain in regard to indictments etc why wait and possibly lose it all if the elections coming up don’t go our way? Something big better happen soon as was promised.
