Derpiska was very likely feeding Steele disinformation. You're fooling yourself if you don't think Bruce Ohr, an expert in the Russian mob, doesn't know that the Russian mob traffics in disinfo (among other things)

I absolutely think that. The Ohr case is complex. Ohr even told the FBI he thinks Steele’s info was suspect. The FBI never mentioned Bruce Ohr’s involvement in the Steele dossier. Despite Bruce Ohr’s wife (Nellie Ohr) working for Fusion GPS, the same company that hired Steele.

LOL OK then. That's a bold assumption without basis and just defies reason. But I understand you need to believe that to reach your predetermined conclusion that Trump was framed.

Those arent bold assumptions. Bruce Ohr’s wife worked for Fusion GPS, who hired Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on Trump. Bruce Ohr was getting info from Steele. The FBI never mentioned Bruce Ohr’s involvement in this, or his conflict of interest in the FISA applications.

what's the conflict of interest? Fusion GPS wasn't getting paid by FBI as a source, Steele was.

Bruce Ohr’s wife was getting paid by Fusion GPS. While Bruce Ohr was relaying information from Steele to the FBI and DOJ officials. None of it was in the FISA application

Do you have any argument as to why thats a problem? Steele was an intel source for FBI on FIFA corruption that led to indictments, a relationship predating Fusion GPS hiring Steele for Trump research. You state those facts above as if they're inherently sinister. they're just not

Steele was cut loose by the FBI for being an unreliable source of information. Bruce Ohr was talking to the FBI, giving them Steele’s information. The FBI never mentioned Bruce Ohr’s involvement. Did the FBI use information from a discredited source to obtain warrants?

you say this as if Carter Page did not appear in an FBI counterintel investigation several years earlier being recruited by Russian spies.

I’m not talking about Carter Page right now. I’m talking about the FBI not disclosing Bruce Ohr’s involvement in this case when obtaining a warrant. That’s a very big deal.

When was the FISA order first obtained? When did Ohr get involved with sharing the dossier to FBI?
