re: Bruce Ohr testimony blows up Dem narrative

Gowdy also asked Ohr about how he first met with and delivered information regarding Steele to the FBI.

“How did you find out to meet with? Who did you call to find out,” Gowdy asked during the hearing.

“After the July 30thmeeting with Chris Steele, I wanted to provide the information he had given me to the FBI,” said Ohr. “I reached out for Andrew McCabe, at that time, Deputy Director of the FBI and somebody who had previously led the organized crime, Russian organized crime squad in NY and who I had worked with in the past, and asked if he could meet with me.”

Ohr went onto say, “I went to his office to provide the information, and Lisa Page was there. So, I provided the information to them. And some point after that, I think, I was given Peter Strzok, or somehow put in contact with Peter Strzok.”

Gowdy follows up with “when was that?”

“I don’t recall the exact date,” said Ohr. “I’m guessing it would’ve been August since I met with Chris Steele at the end of July, and I’m pretty sure I would have reached out to Andrew McCabe soon afterwards.”

Ohr’s testimony is contrary to statements made by House Democrats last year. In an unclassified memo from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-CA, they notes that Ohr’s contact with the FBI began “weeks after the election and more than a month after the Court approved the initial FISA.”

Sources who spoke to this reporter say that argument has now been “turned on its head.” It is clear he spoke to FBI and DOJ officials before the FISA warrant or election had occurred. LINK
