Corrupt FBI: The saga continues
They can't even follow their own rules.
Quote:12 times Christopher Steele fed Trump-Russia allegations to FBI after the election
Congressional investigators know that Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign, kept supplying allegations to the FBI after the 2016 election — and even after he was terminated as a source by the bureau for giving confidential information to the media.
Because he had broken his agreement with the FBI, bureau procedure did not allow agents to keep using Steele as a source. But they did so anyway — by devising a system in which Steele spoke regularly with Bruce Ohr, a top Obama Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, which hired Steele to search for dirt on Donald Trump in Russia. Ohr then passed on Steele's information to the FBI.
In a highly unusual arrangement, Ohr, who was the fourth-highest ranking official in the Justice Department, acted as an intermediary for a terminated source for the FBI's Trump-Russia probe. His task was to deliver to the FBI what Steele told him, which effectively meant the bureau kept Steele as a source.
There are a dozen 302 reports on FBI post-election interviews of Ohr. The first was Nov. 22, 2016. After that, the FBI interviewed Ohr on Dec. 5; Dec. 12; Dec. 20; Jan. 23, 2017; Jan. 25; Jan. 27; Feb. 6; Feb. 14; May 8; May 12; and May 15. The dates, previously unreported publicly, were included in a July letter from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to the FBI and Justice Department.
It's likely that the 302s and notes, if released, would show that the FBI was both still trying to get new information out of Steele after the election and that it was also trying to verify the information Steele had already provided in the dossier installments he handed over in preceding months. Remember, the FBI had already presented some of the dossier's allegations as evidence to the FISA court. After going out on a limb like that, the bureau wanted to know if the allegations were true or not.
In a larger sense, the Ohr-Steele 302s could shed some light on how an effort — it certainly included Steele, but also others — to keep Trump from being elected morphed into an effort to keep Trump from being inaugurated and then morphed into an effort to remove Trump from office. A version of that effort is still going on, of course, even as some in Congress try to find out how it started.

There's a good reason the FBI drags its feet on giving congressional investigators access to data.

It's a coup. Democrats will eventually have someone admit it and they will be lauded as a hero by the Marxist left.

Corrupt FBI: The saga continues
I have said for months Ohr was gonna be the key/link here.
He was the one getting the “pillow talk” from wifey who was concurrently active in compiling the dossier and somehow, someway *poof* it ends up with a seat at the table in Fired Andy’s office while they discuss “insurance policies”.
Thus far we only know, beyond doubt, these illicit conspiratorial meetings included fired Andy, Stroke and Gummy.
Most certainly DOESNT mean Ohr, Homey or any of the other traitorous co-conspirators (Page, Baker(?)) or God knows who else weren’t there.
And instead we’ve got the Ferris Mueller show going on.
Hey!!! Some random guy that was with the campaign for about a cup of coffee has an Ostrich jacket and some python boots!!!
Collusion!!! Wit de ROOOSKIES!!!
Aaaaauuuuuuugggghhhhhh!!!!

MSM totally uninterested in this story though we know if the shoe had been on the other foot, this whole thing would have been the political scandal of the century......and rightfully so.
