I just read an AP article on what Bruce Ohr told the House committee when he testified behind closed doors the other day. The big headline, according to the AP, is that Ohr said he had been told in the summer of 2016 by a former British spy that the Russians "had Donald Trump over a barrel". Oh my, that sounds ominous, right? Indeed, this is the headline of the article.
If you read the article, however, you learn that, not surprising, the former British spy is Christopher Steele. Steele, of course, is the fellow who was hired to put together the bogus Trump dossier. He was insulated by working for Fusion GPS which in turn worked for the Perkins law firm which worked for the DNC and Clinton campaign. That was the Democrats plan to avoid being discovered getting this guy to spread phony stories about Trump during the campaign. They spent $13 million on this plan to put false stories about Trump into play.
Ohr must have known what the Democrats were doing. After all, his wife Nellie was a high level employee of Fusion GPS and actually worked on the Clinton - Trump dossier matter. So Ohr must have known that Steele was a paid operative of the Clinton campaign.
The AP story, however, says nothing about all this. They do say that the former British spy was Christopher Steele, but they somehow manage to leave out that he was working for the Clinton campaign spreading disinformation. They somehow leave out that Ohr's wife worked for Fusion. In fact, the AP leaves out that the supposed information that the Russians had on Trump turned out to be a totally phony story made up by Steele to stick in the Trump dossier. In other words, the AP is still spreading the phony story planted by the Clinton machine even after the AP learned that the whole story was false.
Even the AP reporters here can't be that dense. They must be doing this knowingly. It truly doesn't matter, however. Either we are dealing with reporters who are so lazy that they couldn't bother to look at background info, or they are just dishonest hacks trying to create Fake News.
