Fusion GPS Paid Top DOJ Official’s Wife To Dig Up Dirt On Trump

Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS — the infamous firm behind the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele — stated in a court declaration that his firm hired Nellie H. Ohr as a subcontractor to help with “research and analysis of Mr. Trump,” according to Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller. Nellie H. Ohr is married to Bruce G. Ohr, who was associate deputy attorney general at the DOJ until he was recently demoted.

CNN has reported that the FBI used the Steele dossier as a justification to wiretap a Trump associate, Carter Page. Last week, news broke that Peter Strzok, a top FBI official who was involved in the ongoing probe into whether Trump or his associates colluded with Russian officials to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton, was dismissed after it was discovered he had exhibited an anti-Trump bias. Strzok was demoted last July for text messages railing against Trump that he sent to a woman he was allegedly having an affair with. You can read some of these text messages here.

Already knew about this.

Since she wrote on Russia, was she the one who set up the meets with the Russian FSB agents?

The truth be known...she was probably "targeted" for the job because of the position her husband had in the DOJ, not because of her special expertise. There are probably hundreds of people sucking money out of the DC cesspool with Russian expertise, but they got HER so she would have "cover" from the DOJ and/or FBI itself.
