{ foxnews.com } ~ Embattled Justice Department official Bruce Ohr had contact in 2016 with then-colleague Andrew Weissmann, who is now a top Robert Mueller deputy... as well as other senior FBI officials about the controversial anti-Trump  dossier and the individuals behind it, two sources close to the matter told Fox News. The sources said Ohr's outreach about the dossier – as well as its author, ex-British spy Christopher Steele; the opposition research firm behind it, Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS; and his wife Nellie Ohr's work for Fusion – occurred before and after the FBI fired Steele as a source over his media contacts. Ohr's network of contacts on the dossier included: former FBI agent Peter Strzok; former FBI lawyer Lisa Page; former deputy director Andrew McCabe; Weissmann and at least one other DOJ official; and a current FBI agent who worked with Strzok on the Russia case. Weissmann was kept "in the loop" on the dossier, a source said, while he was chief of the criminal fraud division. He is now assigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s team. The list includes several figures who have since attracted the scorn of President Trump as he decries the Russia probe and those involved in its early stages. Trump has been particularly tough on Ohr, given his wife Nellie’s past work for Fusion GPS, as the president alleges bias against him inside the department. Just Thursday morning, Trump complained on Twitter about Nellie Ohr's Fusion work and exclaimed, "Bruce was a boss at the Department of Justice and is, unbelievably, still there!"...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/30/dojs-bruce-ohr-kept-mueller-deputy-in-loop-about-anti-trump-dossier-sources-say.html

Dots Connecting Quickly: Bruce Ohr Worked With
Andrew Weissmann, While Nellie Ohr Worked For Fusion GPS in 2015

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Last Sunday, Rep. Darrell Issa was being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo about the testimony of Bruce Ohr when Issa...innocuously said that Nellie Ohr was working for Fusion GPS in 2015. Previous to that statement by Issa the timeline for Nellie Ohr working with Fusion GPS began in April of 2016 simultaneous to Fusion beginning the contract work for the liar-Clinton Campaign and sub-contracting of Chris Steele. If the 2015 date was correct, this was a big deal; a VERY BIG deal. Well, today amid other revelations within an excellent report by Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller, the 2015 date is confirmed: If Nellie Ohr began working for Fusion-GPS in “late 2015”, an entire set of prior suspicions now gains a lot more traction. We have long suspected that Fusion-GPS was one of the contractors with access to the FBI/NSA database. The contractors were conducting political opposition research by exploiting the FISA 702(16)(17) process which would be available for counterintelligence purposes; hence the DOJ-National Security Division....
Maryland Islamic Schools Tied to Iranian Regime

{ clarionproject.org } ~ A sheikh tied to the Iranian regime is currently teaching at two Maryland Islamic schools and leads a mosque in the state and teaches at another... Clarion Project discovered. In addition, his daughter is posting pro-Hezbollah propaganda that glorifies violent jihad. Sheikh Abdul Jalil Nawee is a Shiite cleric trained at a radical university in Iran. He has been the resident alim (religious leader) of the Idara-e-Jaferia Islamic Center in Burtonsville since November 2013. The facility was described as “one of the largest Islamic Centers on the East Coast.” He was appointed by the mosque’s president, Syed Mohammed Naqvi, after Moulana Rafiq Naqvi fell ill. The Islamic Center that Sheikh Jalil leads also runs the Jaferia Islamic School, a private school that teaches children between the ages of 5 and 15. He is also educating children and teenagers at the Muslim Community School and Alim Academy in Montgomery County, where he teaches classes on the Quran. This educational body also has extensive links to the Iranian regime. The Muslim Community School is for pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and has a pre-school division for children ages two to four. The Alim Academy is for grades 9 through 12... Why is this being allowed when we are not to teach Christianity in our schools. This is totally wrong.  https://clarionproject.org/maryland-islamic-schools-tied-to-the-iranian-regime/

Oh Dear: More Devastating Leaks From Bruce Ohr Testimony

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ It will be very interesting when the joint committee releases the transcript from Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr... In another article  containing information from Bruce Ohr’s closed-door testimony we highlight two key points (emphasis mine): Kim Strassell – […] Congressional sources tell me that Mr. Ohr revealed Tuesday that he verbally warned the FBI that its source had a credibility problem, alerting the bureau to Mr. Steele’s leanings and motives. He also informed the bureau that Mrs. Ohr was working for Fusion and contributing to the dossier project. The admission that Nellie Ohr was contributing to the dossier is a really important specific point. We always suspected some of the dossier content was attributable to Mrs. Ohr, this confirms that suspicion. Additionally, on the day before Mr. Ohr testified to congress, embarrassingly the New York Times launched a proactive defense surrounding his predicted testimony; within the August 27th article they cited Fusion GPS as a source saying Nellie Ohr never worked on the dossier...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/31/oh-dear-more-devastating-leaks-from-bruce-ohr-testimony/

Making Iran Sanctions Hit Harder This Time

{ bloomberg.com } ~ While the Trump administration’s reimposition of U.S. sanctions on Iran earlier this month grabbed the headlines... a more significant date is Nov. 4, when the truly crippling penalties — including those on Iranian oil — are slated to return. If the sanctions are to have the desired effect on Iran’s economy and behavior, Washington has just weeks to lay the groundwork by issuing clarifications, plugging loopholes, and more actively helping U.S. partners find alternatives to Iranian oil. One of the primary challenges involves Iran’s high-volume sale of a type of ultralight oil known as condensates, which are byproducts of oil and natural-gas production. There are two types:  Lease condensates are derived from the production of crude oil during the fracking process, while plant condensates come from natural gas processing plants and crude oil refineries. Both types are termed “petroleum products” by the U.S. for the purposes of Iran sanctions, but are not considered crude oil. Iran produces and exports a large amount of plant condensates that it often classifies as crude oil. Yet when the Barack scumbag/liar-nObama administration cranked up oil sanctions, a loophole allowed nations to buy Iranian condensates without violating them, which provided the regime with additional cash even as its crude-oil export revenues declined. As reported in the New York Times, this scheme yielded Tehran an estimated $1.5 billion in a three-month period of 2014 alone...

Why Do Ex-liar-Clinton Attack 
Dogs Davis and Stephanopoulos Get a Pass?

{ townhall.com } ~ Lanny Davis represents Michael Cohen, the lawyer who secretly taped his then-client, now-President Donald Trump.

If you're keeping score, Davis is the same defense lawyer who represented President liar-Bill Clinton during the investigation by special prosecutor Kenneth Starr. To defend liar-Clinton, Davis employed what at the time seemed audacious: a grab-him-by-the-throat-and-rip-his-head-off strategy to vilify Starr. Starr's poll numbers dropped. Davislater admitted, "Whenever I went off the facts and into attacks on Starr, I felt very uncomfortable."

To defend his current client, Davis went on television and said that Cohen has the goods on Trump and can prove Trump directed him to break campaign finance law to pay off Stormy Daniels. Or something like that. Davis' interviewer? George Stephanopoulos.

Yes, this would be the same Stephanopoulos, now ABC News' "chief news anchor," who worked as communications director during the liar-Bill Clinton presidential campaign and as liar-Clinton's senior adviser in the White House. Stephanopoulos worked with Davis to employ the aforementioned scorched-earth, attack-Starr strategy. Shouldn't there have been some sort of disclosure by ABC?

But, hey, today's today. Davis insists he only wants "the truth" to come out about Trump's misdeeds. Davis then went on a one-day whirlwind tour of every news and broadcast network where he pitched a crowdfunding campaign to help pay Cohen's legal bills. The "truth" may set you free, but it is not delivered for free.

Watching Davis and Stephanopoulos discuss the Trump/Cohen/Robert Mueller affair was surreal. These men, while defending liar-Clinton 20 years earlier against an investigation they thought illegitimate and charges they thought bogus, designed the very strategy Trump is employing that Davis and Stephanopoulos now decry. Trump is simply following it, only with far more legitimate reasons to question rationale for the investigation and the goals and biases of some of the investigators and lawyers involved.

In June 1998,Tucker Carlson described the way Davis, Stephanopoulosand others "trashed" Starr to defend liar-Clinton. Carlson wrote: "liar-Clinton campaign chairman James Carville may have been the first liar-Clinton partisan to attack the independent counsel publicly, but it's clear that the anti-Starr propaganda machine had been under construction for some time. As early as 1995, says formerliar-Clinton confidant Dick Morris, George Stephanopoulos and other administration strategists were devising ways to discredit Starr."

Today, Davis and Stephanopoulos just want "truth."

Remember, the Mueller investigation started with a search to determine whether Trump illegally colluded with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. Will Stephanopoulos tell his viewers about a story uncovered by the Conservative Review's Jordan Schachtel and One America News Network correspondent Jack Posobiec? Based on their research, BizPac Review reported in a headline, "Lanny Davis Reportedly Making Bank as a Registered Foreign Agent for Putin-Tied Oligarch." The law firm Davis co-founded, Davis Goldberg & Galper, according to Schachtel, "is a registered ACTIVE foreign agent for Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash, who is a close ally of Russian pres Vladimir Putin." Schachtel also said Foreign Agents Registration Act documents "show Lanny Davis personally lobbied for Firtash."

One more thing about Davis, Cohen and the infamous dossier. Law professor Paul Butler recently claimed on MSNBC: "The Steele dossier keeps getting corroborated by Mueller and reporters. It says that there were two go betweens, the Trump campaign and Russia. The first one was Paul Manafort, and when Manafort resigned from the campaign, Michael Cohen took it over. So we know Manafort is now just chilling, waiting to get through the second trial so he can get his pardon from Trump. So Cohen is the man, if you believe the dossier." Exactly, if you believe the dossier that Butler just insisted "keeps getting corroborated." Except it isn't.

On another show, Davis said that Cohen was "never, never in Prague," and added, "the dossier, so-called, mentions his name 14 times, one of which is a meeting with Russians in Prague. Fourteen times false."

Twenty years ago, liar-Clinton defenders Davis and Stephanopoulos claimed the President's lies about sex were inconsequential. Gloria Allred called his denial and later admission under oath a "sex lie."

So we've gone from collusion to an investigation on payments to a porn star and a Playboy model. So Trump, an ex-playboy with a flashy lifestyle, who spent $66 million of his own money on the campaign, directed his lawyer to break campaign laws to conceal a payment of $130,000. Whatever one thinks about these alleged affairs, they were consensual. Respected liberal writer Christopher Hitchens wrote a book in 1999, called "No One Left to Lie To," about the liar-Bill Clinton impeachment. Hitchens writes about "believable accusations of rape and molestation" including three cases he knew of where Clinton had been accused of rape. One might have thought such accusations would have aroused the media's curiosity even more than alleged voluntary payments for alleged voluntary affairs.

Maybe some reporter will ask ABC's "chief news anchor" the following question: Do rumors of rape by your ex-boss warrant at least as much curiosity as Trump's so-called hush money about alleged consensual affairs?
