Anti-Trump DOJ Official Makes MAJOR Omission

Bruce Ohr is a former United States associate deputy attorney general for the Obama Administration, who failed to mention to ethics investigators that his wife was taking money from the same entity that was behind the Steele Dossier: Fusion GPS. Despite this clear conflict of interest that may well have motivated Ohr, he did not mention on financial disclosure reports, which document such conflicts, that his wife was employed by Fusion GPS. 
 
Paul Kamenar, a D.C., public policy lawyer with knowledge of executive branch ethics and disclosure laws told the Daily Caller, “Based on my reading of the regulations and disclosure guide accompanying the form, he failed to disclose the source of his wife’s income on line 4 by not including the ‘name of the employer.” This means that Ohr likely broke that law in Kamenar’s estimation. “The law provides that whoever ‘knowingly and willfully’ fails to file information required to be filed on this report faces civil penalties up to $50,000 and possible criminal penalties up to one year in prison under the disclosure law and possibly up to five years in prison under 18 USC 1001,” he said.
 
According to the Daily Caller, “The DOJ used [ the Steele Dossier] to obtain a warrant to wiretap a Trump adviser, but didn’t disclose to the judge that the DNC and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign had funded the research and that Ohr had a financial relationship with the firm that performed it — which could be, it turns out, because Ohr doesn’t appear to have told his supervisors.” Such improprieties have plagued the Mueller Investigation and its evidentiary basis, already rife with scandal, and delivers yet another blow to the credibility of its findings.
