Sara babe: They knew

"…Congressional sources tell me that Mr. Ohr revealed Tuesday that he verbally warned the FBI that its source had a credibility problem … Mr. Ohr said, moreover, that he delivered this information before the FBI’s first application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a warrant against Trump aide Carter Page, in October 2016."

oopsie. That might leave a mark. Who signed off on those applications again?

Is that why the president wants him fired?

But of course, the mere fact that a government employee has a spouse that works on sensitive political matters outside the government should not be treated as automatically suspect (though it can trigger disclosure or recusal obligations). So far, at least, there is nothing to suggest that Ohr improperly used information obtained from his wife in the course of his government duties (or that he improperly provided information to her). Moreover, according to the House Minority report, when Ohr passed the information to the FBI, he “informed the FBI of his prior professional relationship with Steele … and also described his wife’s contract work with Fusion GPS.” And even if he had acted improperly, there are procedures within the Department of Justice for investigating and disciplining employees.


What we have, then, is an all=out personal assault on an almost three-decade civil servant by the president of the United States and significant members of the Republican leadership. For years, Ohr has made major contributions to U.S. government efforts to fight Russian organized crime. In 2006, he was one of several government officials who played a role in revoking the visa of Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire and aluminum magnate, a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin, and who has been tied to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Craig Unger, who has published a book on Trump’s ties to Russian organized crime, also claimed in a tweet on Tuesday that Trump is punishing Ohr because he investigated Semion Mogilevich and “wld know abt RU Mafia laundering $$ thru Trump condos, RU Mafia ties w Kremlin, & Mafia operations run from Trump Tower.”

From what we have learned so far, aside from his role in fighting Russian organized crime, the main reason Ohr has received so much unfortunate attention is that he knew (and is married to) people who were privy to unverified, unflattering, and damaging information about the president. And when he himself was given some of that information, he passed it along to the FBI—as he was arguably duty bound to do.

At this point, it seems probable that Ohr will be fired or will quit. But even if he doesn’t, the message to anyone else who might hold information unflattering or inconvenient to the president is clear: stay silent, keep it to yourself, don’t do anything that might make the president look bad. That’s precisely what the president wants. And that’s precisely why what is happening to Ohr is so dangerous.

I couldn't finish this garbage. Ohr made himself a CI after Steele was fired to continue to get the information they knew was suspect. They didn't make the FISC aware of any of these details. Let that sink in.
