The Hill: Who would have thought that, this deep into the Russia collusion probe, we’d be learning about yet another dossier connected to Hillary Clinton? And, as it turns out, it was sort of a family secret.
By his own account, senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr played an essential — and unorthodox — role, carrying politically tainted allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion to the FBI during the 2016 election.
First, it was unverified intelligence starting in July 2016 from Trump-hating former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous Russia dossier.
Next, it was sketchy intelligence starting in August 2016 from Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, an opposition-research contractor who hired Steele and was paid to help Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign develop political dirt on Trump.
And now we learn, from testimony that is still being kept secret from the public, that Ohr admitted to Congress last year that he also took Russia information that his wife, Nellie, assembled against Trump on a computer drive and delivered that to the FBI in 2016 — a revelation that has raised fresh concerns in Congress about a possible conflict of interest.
Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS and, for a time, worked on the same Clinton-financed Russian research project as Steele, according to the testimony.
DOJ ethics rules forbid department officials from working in cases where a spouse has a financial interest, a prohibition that Bruce Ohr said he knew about when he forwarded his wife’s evidence to the FBI.
The way Ohr described it, his wife’s research was like an additional dossier assembled from Fusion GPS research to augment what Steele was separately providing the FBI.
“She (Nellie Ohr) provided me with a memory stick that included research she had done for Fusion GPS on various Russian figures,” Ohr told congressional investigators.
“And the reason she provided that information to me is, my understanding was, it related to some of the same — it related to the FBI’s Russia investigation. And she gave me that stick to give to the FBI.”
Ohr’s revelation about his wife adds yet another example of people connected to the Clinton machine flooding the FBI with anti-Trump Russia research during the 2016 election. more here
Are we going to read reports of this seditious and treasonous activity till the cows come home or will we read about prosecutions one of these days?
Nothing will happen except
we the people are screwed…
Desperate people, especially desperate people with power, will eventually miscalculate and, ultimately, do terrible things.

Whittaker Chambers wrote a book about people like this.
“For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed. It is our fate to live upon that turning point in history.”
Whittaker Chambers
I believe he was forecasting this specific decade.
Though many in the aircraft industry have tried to attribute this quote to themselves and others, conventional wisdom says that it was Donald Douglas who first said it:
“When the weight of the paperwork equals the weight of the plane, the plane will fly.”
Patience and prayer, everyone. We are approaching critical mess.

I am offended!
(Some of us calculate our terrible things very carefully)
Is this the same stick Bruce says Nellie handed to him over breakfast he claims he never looked at? 😉
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Is this the best and brightest we can find to staff out intel agencies? It seems the “counter” in counterintelligence confuses them as to which they’re protecting and which side they’re targeting.
When will Ms. Pants Suit be charged, arrested and stand trial?
From everything we know so far it seems the DNC was working with the Russians to promote Socialism in the USA. After all it is the DNC that is openly Pro-Socialism not Trump.
They just broke a story on Fox about a Coast Guard Lieutenant who had a hit list of Lib-Tard politicians and celebs he was going to off. My Senator Richard Sue Them All make the cut. Unfortunately, he was caught.
