Ohr took it upon himself not to notify his bosses what he was doing, as well as didn’t fully explain all the connections between his wife, fusion gps, Chris Steele, et al to his handlers.
And yes, I read it all when it came out today.
These were interesting tidbits as well-
A Chris Steele provided information that did help specific cases, yes.
Q And did you sometimes also consult with him on your official matters, or was it more just receiving information?
A I think it was more receiving information.
Q And this information that you received from Mr. Steele proved credible and actionable in some of your cases?
A At least in some of the cases, I think it was actionable, yes.
Q Okay.
......
A I think -- my impression is that Chris Steele believed his sources. What I should say in addition, though, is that whenever you are dealing with information from Russia, you have to be careful, because it is a very complicated place. And so even information from a good source has to be looked at carefully.
Q Okay.
......
Mr. Meadows. So why would you have informed Bruce Swartz and
not Sally Yates?
Mr. Ohr. My -- at the time my lead was this is source
information, lead information. It's nothing that they can do
anything with. It should be passed to the FBI for them to use it
or not as they feel appropriate.
Unlike you red state swallowing fools I've read the transcript and everything looks above board.
RedState claims: For instance, Schiff claims Steele was never paid. Ohr says he was.
Except ofcourse thats a fabrication and Schiff didn't say that.
Further, Ohr confirms that Schiff was correct that Ohr's role was grossly overstated by Nunez.
Ohr passed on to FBI whatever information was given to him, he did not pass information back, he correctly disclosed that information was coming from one sided source, he disclosed that Steelie belived that Trump was compromised and shouldn't be anywhere near WH.
He knew none of it was verified.
