Court Filing Confirms Fusion GPS Hired DOJ Official’s CIA Wife To Dig Up Dirt On Trump<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

The head of opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted in a court filing this week that his firm paid the wife of a senior Justice Department official to help dig up damaging information on then-candidate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\nBruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Nellie Ohr<\/em><\/p>\n

Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, filed the signed declaration in a D.C. court this week affirming that\u00a0Nellie Ohr<\/strong>, wife of demoted DOJ official\u00a0Bruce Ohr<\/strong>, was contracted by Fusion through the summer and fall of 2016 “to help our company with its research and analysis of Mr. Trump,<\/strong>” according to the filing. The House Intelligence Committee determined that in November 2016, Simpson\u00a0met with Bruce Ohr<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0shortly after the election to discuss their findings regarding Russia and Trump. Bruce Ohr lost his senior-level position at the DOJ as associate deputy attorney general after his meetings with Simpson\u00a0and British spy Christopher Steele, who assembled the Trump-Russia dossier,\u00a0<\/strong>were discovered.<\/p>\n

And why would Fusion GPS hire Nellie Ohr? Aside from the obvious connection to her DOJ husband who was in a position to provide Fusion GPS with information on Trump gathered by US intelligence agencies,\u00a0Nellie Ohr also represented the CIA’s “Open Source Works” group\u00a0<\/strong>in a 2010 “expert working group<\/a>\u00a0report on international organized crime”\u00a0along with\u00a0Bruce Ohr and Glenn Simpson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the dossier which served as the basis for the DOJ and FBI to obtain FISA surveillance last year on a Trump campaign advisor, Fusion GPS was also behind the infamous\u00a0Trump Tower<\/a>“set up” with a Russian lawyer, and a failed attempt to link Donald Trump to\u00a0billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also of note, the\u00a0Daily Caller\u00a0<\/em>reported last month that\u00a0heavily redacted Fusion GPS bank records<\/a>\u00a0reveal DNC law firm\u00a0Perkins Coie<\/a>\u00a0paid Fusion a total of\u00a0$1,024,408<\/strong>\u00a0in 2016 for opposition research on then-candidate Donald Trump – including the 34-page dossier. And who did Perkins Coie operate on behalf of?\u00a0Hillary Clinton and the DNC<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, as part of a million-dollar effort by Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump,\u00a0Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS, which employed the wife of a senior DOJ official in this endeavor, who represented the CIA’s “Open Source Works” department during an “expert working group.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A group of House Republicans has been calling for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate Obama and Clinton-linked controversies, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he is considering hours after a\u00a0Tuesday call<\/a>\u00a0by President Trump’s outside counsel Jay Sekulow for a second special counsel\u00a0to investigate Bruce and Nellie Ohr’s association with Fusion GPS during the summer and fall of 2016.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nJay Sekulow<\/em><\/p>\n

In a statement issued hours after Sekulow’s appearance on Fox News, Sessions said: “I’ve put a Senior Attorney, with the resources he may need, to review cases in our office and make a recommendation to me, if things aren’t being pursued that need to be pursued, if cases may need more resources to complete in a proper manner, and to recommend to me if the standards for a special counsel are met, and the recommended one should be established”<\/p>\n
