Right. As I suggested that makes it very likely Deripaska was dealing disinformation on all sides, including to Steele.

Yeah, the Oleg angle is what inspired judge Jeanine to rant last night about Bob Mueller being involved with an oligarch, I think. Not sure where all these bunny trails are leading. Wonder how much manafort and deripaksa coordinated pre and post election too

I'd imagine Congress and the IG will find their comms involved organized crime and DJT - from well before 2016 thru fall of 2017 (when Steele was concerned about Congress looking into his FBI files). But R's are conflating all of Ohr's and Steele's interactions as nefarious.

And of course his wife Nellie working at fusion is icing on the cake for the conspiracy, though she, too, apparently had pre-existing Russia expertise and had worked for the CIA, I believe. Also, not uncommon for one's spouse in the DC area to work for a research firm.

Spouse's aren't allowed to work.
