Via Billy
Ohr did not seek a waiver of the conflict of interest. Instead, he
omitted this information. Upon joining the Justice Department, he had
signed an agreement stating that he would be fired for violating its
rules. Inexplicably, he was not terminated, which only reinforces the
impression that impropriety and concealment continued at the highest
levels of the department.
Numerous congressional sources are
telling SaraACarter.com that after Department of Justice official Bruce
Ohr’s explosive closed-door testimony on Tuesday, lawmakers are gearing
up to call his wife, Nellie Ohr, in for questioning regarding her work
with the now-embattled research firm, Fusion GPS.
Congress is also
seeking access to Bruce Ohr’s text messages and emails with top FBI
officials.
Fusion GPS was founded by former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn
Simpson and hired by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary
Clinton campaign to investigate alleged ties between President Donald
Trump’s campaign and Russia.
Nellie Ohr, a Russia expert who was hired by Fusion GPS in 2016 to
investigate the Trump campaign, received multiple large sum payments
from the research firm, according to a U.S. official, with direct
knowledge of the payments.
