An interesting note from Catherine Herridge today outlines that DOJ official Bruce Ohr resigned from the FBI shortly before being terminated as a result of the IG report on his activity:
As TechnoFog notes, this resignation is likely tied to this Office of Professional Regulation announcement on July 24th of this year:
OPR received a referral from another Department entity regarding allegations that a senior Department attorney failed to apprise his supervisor of his interactions with a law enforcement agency and a source concerning the subject matter of an ongoing high-profile investigation.
Although the attorney eventually recognized the need to inform his supervisor, who was overseeing the investigation, of his involvement and provided some information about the general topic, the senior Department attorney failed to provide a complete disclosure of his role as a conduit of information between the source and the law enforcement agency. As a result, the supervisor was unaware of the attorney’s activities related to the investigation until learning of them through other means.
OPR opened an inquiry, which it converted into an investigation, focusing on the attorney’s incomplete disclosures to his supervisor about his ongoing activities related to the source and the law enforcement agency. Following its investigation, OPR concluded that the attorney committed reckless professional misconduct by providing materially incomplete information to his supervisor, which constituted a misrepresentation.

Bruce Ohr was part of the laundry operation for Fusion-GPS and Chris Steele’s dossier.
Bruce’s wife, Nellie Ohr, was working for Glenn Simpson at Fusion-GPS feeding information to Steele for the Dossier assembly. Steele then transmitted the same information back to Bruce who then received and provided it to FBI investigators giving the patina of an official intelligence product.
The FBI wrote interview notes with Bruce Ohr from a series of 15 interviews. Those “302’s” were later released as part of the information showing how the operation was being handled. Despite receiving a $28,000 bonus for his efforts, Bruce Ohr was demoted twice and then seemingly remained employed in some unknown capacity within the DOJ as the months and years progressed.
Note, analysis of the Bruce Ohr 302 documents is complex because the investigative notes need to be reviewed as simply one overlay in a series of timelines and documents.
That means taking the Ohr 302’s (the content as a timeline) then comparing/overlaying them to: (1) the Bruce Ohr emails with Chris Steele; (2) the text messages with Peter Strzok and Lisa Page on the same dates as the Ohr interviews; (3) the text messages from SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman; (4) the content of the Comey memos; and (5) what was going on -inside the DC investigation- at the time these interviews were taking place.
It’s a layered onion with markers that align at specific points and tell a much bigger story. Example below.
As Bruce Ohr is discussing the possibility of the “SIC” (Senate Intelligence Committee) traveling to the U.K. to interview Steele, you cross reference the committee Vice-Chair Mark Warner text messages (w/ Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman) and the Ohr interview substance gives you the bigger picture of the conspiracy:
Now overlay Democrat Senator Mark Warner (SIC) attempting to organize a meeting with Christopher Steele without “a paper trail”, during the height of the effort to organize the ‘soft-coup’ impeachment evidence.
Keep in mind as you review, SSCI Mark Warner attempting covert contact, for the expressed political purpose of conducting a ‘soft coup’….. the Vice-Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Mark Warner, is also a member of a very specific group known as the oversight “Gang-of-Eight”; and has contact with the most sensitive and secret covert government operations.
This is why the Weissmann/Mueller team needed to water-down the explosive connection between the activity of Warner and the SSCI to the overall operation. This is why Weissmann/Mueller released those text messages on Feb 9, 2018, to coordinate a cover-story for the back-channel communication.
In those March 2017 text message you can see Senator Warner attempting to set up covert “no paper trail” communication with dossier author Christopher Steele. Adam Waldman represented Chris Steele and Steele’s employer, Oleg Deripaska.
Less than a month later you can see within the text messages that Christopher Steele is in direct contact with Dan Jones. “[Chris] said Dan Jones is coming to see you” etc.
(Text Messages Between Feinstein’s replacement, Mark Warner, and Chris Steele’s lawyer/lobbyist, Adam Waldman, noting the importance of Dan Jones)
Dan Jones talking to Christopher Steele in 2017 is critical to understanding what was going on after Trump won the election.
Jones raised $50 million from those who were behind the 2016 stop Trump effort, and the purpose was now the 2017 impeachment effort [SEE LINK]. Jones having left the SSCI (now outside govt.) then paid Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS to keep up their efforts. As you can see from the texts, Jones was now talking in person (“coming to see you”) to SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner in April 2017.
[Side-Bar: The role of Fusion-GPS in 2017 shifted, and was now weighted toward feeding a specific media narrative that would aid impeachment (through the FBI, Weissmann and Mueller obstruction angle). Fusion-GPS was now the conduit for arms-length media leaks from the usurping small group still inside the DOJ and FBI. Dan Jones was paying Fusion on behalf of those with larger interests. Fusion was feeding the media.]
So you can clearly see the SSCI was heavily involved in the impeachment effort after the election.
Documentation of the connection between the DOJ, FBI, Fusion, Glenn Simpson and Dan Jones shows up in the FBI investigative 302 notes of Bruce Ohr, released by Judicial Watch. [Pay attention to the May 8th, 2017, interview – pg 18, 19 of pdf]
The highlighted bottom portion of page 18 (May 8, 2017, interview) shows a heavily redacted text, but holds enough material to overlay with other research.
This is where Bruce Ohr is talking about Dan Jones efforts as they were currently aligned with Fusion GPS: “and had been on the staff of the [Senate Intelligence Committee]”…. “At the time of the interview [Jones] was working with the [Vice Chairman of the Committee Mark Warner]”… etc.
This part is heavily redacted because the corrupt agents within the current DOJ and FBI once again don’t want people to piece together what was happening.
This is not sources and methods being redacted. This is not national security being redacted. This is the trail of the connective tissue in/around the small group plotting that is being hidden.
At the top of page 19, the investigative notes of Ohr’s discussion continues.
Bruce Ohr is telling the FBI investigator about Glenn Simpson and Dan Jones visiting Christopher Steele sometime after May 8, 2017, and they were in the process of “lawyering up”.
Now before going deeper in the SSCI weeds, let me pause and explain the specifics behind why the FBI was interviewing Bruce Ohr about Chris Steele; by overlaying what was going on in/around early 2017.
Chris Steele wasn’t alone in creating the “dossier”. Heck, the purpose of Fusion-GPS contracting Steele; and the purpose of the FBI engaging with Steele; was the laundry value of having a known intelligence officer validate political opposition research which the FBI could use against Donald Trump. The reality is: most of the raw material and research inside the dossier was from Dan Jones, Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr at Fusion GPS.
The ‘small group’ inside the DOJ and FBI always knew the provenance of the material; the plan and intent was to utilize Fusion-GPS for their political purposes.
Everyone carrying out this operation, all of the corrupt entities within it, knew the material from Chris Steele was essentially political opposition research. Many of those same people later weaponized the research into the FISA application to give it higher import and value.
That set’s up early 2017 – where the FBI was evaluating the extent to which Chris Steele was willing to remain on public record to support a false framework about the dossier itself. This is the same time-frame where Fusion is being paid by Dan Jones to facilitate the calls for a special counsel. Fusion drives that narrative with structured leaks to media.
Steele’s support was a key issue because the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials were about to hand-off the dossier to Special Counsel Robert Mueller (figurehead only) as the basis for the ‘small group’ and him to launch the special counsel aspect of an ongoing operation.
If Chris Steele suddenly walked away from the dossier, and/or admitted publicly the dossier was political opposition research primarily from Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr, the FBI would have a shit-storm on it’s hands…. and they needed to evaluate the position of Steele. Steele could be a risk if he was not supporting the team playbook. That’s the driving purpose behind all of this “re-engagement” with Steele through Bruce Ohr.
The small group in the DOJ and FBI planned to continue, pass-off and modify the Trump investigation by shifting it to a special counsel. The centerpiece of that investigation would be using the dossier as justification for a need to investigate Trump as a Russian risk. The DOJ/FBI small group needed Glenn Simpson and Chris Steele to stand by the false narrative all of the players had assembled over the prior year.
The wildcard to retain the false story was Chris Steele… Steele was an outside participant, albeit aligned with the ideology and the purpose. Evaluating Steele’s willful participation in keeping the narrative as assembled was the reason for their urgent talks; however, the “small group” couldn’t run the risk of direct talks in the same way that Mark Warner couldn’t risk of a paper trail.
Adam Waldman and Dan Jones were facilitating a plausibly deniable information pipeline from Chris Steele to Senator Mark Warner. Bruce Ohr was facilitating a plausibly deniable information pipeline from Chris Steele to the FBI/DOJ small group. The purposes were the same, everyone needed assurances Steele wasn’t going to back-out.
That corrupt planning activity is what the current DOJ officials have always been hiding behind the Bruce Ohr 302 redactions.
Lou Dobbs reporting that President Trump is very unhappy with Barr-zini. He would not comment if Barr-zini is history after the election.
Finally, the President realizes it was Barr-zini all along.
Lou Dobbs just said Ohr resigned Sept. 30. Why was he there so long?
Because he didn’t want to go home and hear how Stalin was misunderstood and really a great guy for the thousandth time.
And Nellie was acting “perky”. Stalin always gets her “in the mood”.
As Monte Python would say: “run away! run away!”
May have been to allow him to complete retirement years and months service requirements.
Bruce Ohr should be allowed to resign. He should be tried and executed. He probably an agent for China along with his wife.
Facts matter.
According to DC Metro PD there were 88 homicides in the chart for ‘20 yr homicide trend’.
https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/district-crime-data-glance
According to same source there are roughly 45 still unsolved.
https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/major-caseunsolved-homicides-2012
Murders in DC, according to this data have a better than 50% chance of going unsolved. Horrible results proving yet another example of no real success for justice in DC. It seems many of us are ‘hoping’ for some form of justice. We probably should face the facts that there is a better than 50% chance the trend continues.
And that’s just DNC staffers!
And our overpaid employees, who produce nothing, get “bonuses” at our expense, for their ineptness.
Resigning over the shortwave was a nice touch, though.
What has become clear to me is that Trump has been neutered from the beginning. We have all been concentrating on the early wrongdoing by the alphabet agencies (and rightly so) but it is much, much bigger than that.
“What has become clear to me is that Trump has been neutered from the beginning.”
What could have predicted that? The fact that DC is 91 to 97 percent SWAMP?
DC 2016 vote:
Felonia von Pantsuit 90.86%
Trump 4.09%
Government workers shun Trump, give big money to Clinton

Employees of the Department of Justice, which investigated Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State, gave Clinton 97 percent of their donations. Trump received $8,756 from DOJ employees compared with $286,797 for Clinton. From IRS employees, Clinton received 94 percent of donations.
Coolmamie. I agree. Could it be that the global military industrial complex is manipulating so much over all countries in their quest to be in control of all technologies and AI? President Trump is their worst nightmare?
I don’t know, I’m still hopeful that Trump and other good, patriotic men and women have been allowing our FBI, DOJ,CIA, NSA, ABCDEFG, ETC agencies and Congress critters, and other corrupt players to conduct business as usual, allowing them to think Barr had it all under control while the real work was being done by outsiders. Maybe Barr, Gina H, Wray and all the others just thought they were going to be anle to do what they always do and instead just set themselves up.
Given the deluge of info that is coming out today I am even more hopeful. Isn’t that how they do these mob conspiracy cases? Allow them to operate as usual and then wrap them up at once? Maybe it is RICCO suave time!!
Come on… see swamp percentages above. They’re about to spring a trap?
No. I agree with you The DC swamp will never spring the trap. But maybe the criminal conspiracy, that is DC, was unknowingly allowed to operate as usual while the investigations and indictments were outsourced to other agencies or entities outside of the DC swamp. I’ve always hoped that.
Sure, it may be hope porn. But… a TON of dynamite is exploding today… and on old stuff too, like Benghazi …. stuff we’ve never heard of! Iran blackmailing Hillary for the trophy kill! Haha! You can’t make that plot ending up. Such cosmic justice if her undoing will be because the Arabs screwed her for screwing us.
If they ARE going to wrap up a RICCO, it is happening now.
Gateway provides this information. Ohr received a pay increase of $2600
“Mr. Ohr then received a $2,600 pay increase after he was demoted and reassigned from his position!”. I am assuming this is $2,600 pay increase was per month. It’s not every day, that you see a pay increase for failing. I can only believe that this is unique to the DOJ which raises several questions.
Why would an employee who was demoted twice be given a pay increase. And why would the DOJ management raise the retirement income of the same DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
Perhaps, the first question could be answered by asking another question. Does the DOJ management not want Bruce Ohr to talk, after all, the SSCI did not want Wolf to talk?
If you can accept the answer to the first question above as probable, is it such a stretch to believe that the DOJ management is protecting Bruce Ohr’s retirement income by raising his monthly income, 2 to 3 years before retirement.
could be the yearly step inscrease gov employees get (generaly if they dont have bad performance – i’m shocked he was deemed poor performance)
Whiteboard asked early on in this thread, “How did Iran gain so much leverage over Obama and his admin?”
If the information that Nick Noe, Charles Woods & Alan Parrot are coming forward with these last couple of days is true, it’s explosive. In summary:
1) Iran was known by US to be harboring Osama bin Laden for 10 years
2) Hillary, Brennan & Biden wanted bin Laden as a trophy kill, so they made a deal w Iran to plant bin Laden in Pakistan for the kill. They did not tell Obama until the mission was under way.
3) Pakistan double-crossed at the last minute (go figure) & put a bin Laden double in place. 5/2/11 – bin Laden killed. Hillary & gang scramble & dump fake body over mountains, not at sea.
4) 8/6/11 – Hillary & gang shoot down Seal team 6 helicopter to cover up they know bin Laden was a fake (using a stinger missile sold illegally by Hillary thru Benghazi pipeline).
5) Iran figures out they have leverage bc they know what Hillary’s done. They use that leverage for the nuclear deal, release of frozen assets, sanction relief, cash drops & prisoner exchanges. Interim Iran deal signed 11/24/13 included release of $700 million dollars a month in frozen Iranian assets.
6) Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi station months before the siege to “clean up” evidence of Hillarys’ covert weapons sales, origin of the missile that shot down Seal team 6. Benghazi embassy siege is 9/11-12/ 2012 – No help was sent for the embassy siege bc that was another, further cleanup of Stevens himself (he knew about the weapons obviously).
7) Of the BILLIONs of dollars in cash that were dropped off in Iran, an additional $2 billion was funneled back to the US to pay off Senators & Congress people that needed to keep their mouths shut about the whole thing.
Watch the video that Wood’s and Noe presented at Ampfest this past weekend. Share it. Let’s get some truth.

People say this is hard to understand – the Coup.
It isnt.
Each Branch, Agency, and arm-length entities (contractors, media, non-profits) of the united states government conspired together to aid the removal of a duly elected president.
FBi – we know the names
CIA – we know the names
DOj – we know the names
Judges that defied his Executive order – We know the names
Media that pushed lies – We know their names (pulled from released Text messages)
Legislative Branch – We know their names and actions (ranging from Paul ryan giving the house away to Burr allowing Warner to be a naughty boy while he was out of house (03/17 SSCI repubs got to lebanon – the PLAN TO KEEP THE REPUBS CLEAN)
Legistative again – law to make mueller unfireable – and force this BS for 2 years
(Mccabe leak – decided not to be prosecuted by Mueller, Wolfe leak decided not to be prosecuted by Mueller. Podesta lobbying decided not to be prosecuted by Mueller. Awans decided not to be prosecuted by Mueller, Warner conspiring with a russian and british spy -decided not to be prosecuted by Mueller)
its BORING. its very simply our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT IS A BUNCh A BTCHES. they got BEAT and they are trying to say they didnt over and over. Pathetic.
DEPUTIZE marshalls – executive order STAND YOUR GROUND LAW, Universal Carry,
Seize all assets of people involved in human corruption (executive order dec 2017) – thats every NGO- thats EVERY contractor – THATS EVERY media outlet that has a greater than 30% foreign owned percentage and they are anythign WE CALL MAINSTREAM.
Negotiate an asset sell and the rebuy for Americans Only – or Pro American Countries.
Had to resign in disgrace which is ok by me. Their pensions don’t bother me as long as they had to leave. In my opinion, the shiate is going to hit the fan after Trump is reelected. There will be some major housecleaning in the alphabet agencies and big tech is going to answer for their BS too. We must win the House and Senate for any of this to happen though.
Vote in person or take your ballot in. Don’t trust the mail.
With the release of the Biden emails by the Post yesterday, we now have validation of who is the national security risk and for the most part yielded his influence in Russia. “Well, SOB, he got fired.” And they got the $1B.”
