Demoted Department of Justice official’s wife worked for Fusion GPS
Last week we learned that Bruce Ohr was demoted by the Department of Injustice because he had contact with Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign. Christopher Steele is a foreign agent who was hired by Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, and of course the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee were paying Fusion GPS.
In my post on Bruce Ohr’s demotion I wrote that I believed there was more to come. I was thinking there would be more connections to other people within the Department of Injustice or within the Russian collusion investigative team when I wrote this, and I still think there will be, but according to this story there is another connection between Bruce Ohr and Fusion GPS. Here is more:
A senior Justice Department official demoted last week for concealing his meetings with the men behind the anti-Trump “dossier” had even closer ties to Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for the incendiary document, than have been disclosed, Fox News has confirmed: The official’s wife worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 election.
Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr’s duties – including whether she worked on the dossier – remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016.
It should be remembered that the Russian dossier was used as a reason to open the investigation into possible collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign, and it should also be remembered that the Russian dossier was also most likely used as grounds to obtain a FISA warrant to wiretap Trump Tower.
The Intelligence Committee has been seeking FBI and Department of Injustice documents related to Fusion GPS, going to far as to issue subpoenas, but to date these agencies have been stonewalling the investigation and contempt of Congress charges appear to be looming.
For some reason the FBI and the Department of Injustice seemingly do not want anyone to know how they acquired the Russian dossier or what their role was and now we might know why. Could it be that the FBI and the Department of Injustice were working behind the scenes during the 2016 election to take down Donald Trump?
The plot thickens…

Regarding the infestation of ‘evil and darkness’ bent on consuming the whole lot, this comes to mind:
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Psalms 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. ~ but they can’t take it with them and have their ‘reward’ in full.

Yes, just like the rich man who asked Jesus what it would take for him to get into Heaven and when Jesus told him to give away his riches and follow him he rejected Jesus. He already had his reward and was not willing to give it up.
