Hillary Clinton is in deep with the wrong people.
Clinton was once the subject of several investigations herself.
But now, one of her close friends may be facing a felony.
Clinton’s Suspicious Allies
Trump’s new attorney Rudy Giuliani thinks that a Clinton favorite should be investigated.
Giuliani wants Department of Justice employee Bruce Ohr investigated for possible collusion.
He is also under fire for hiding the truth from the Department of Justice.
Bruce Ohr’s wife received money from a suspicious source—and Bruce said nothing.
His wife received payments from Fusion GPS.
Fusion GPS was the opposition research firm that paid for the Steele dossier.
The Steele dossier was released in 2016 and became a topic of debate during the election.
The dossier targeted Trump and his colleagues.
It also led to Robert Mueller’s Russian collusion probe being launched.

Rudy Giuliani Fights Back
Giuliani took to Twitter to question the Department of Justice.
He wanted to know if the department had investigated the payments made to Ohr’s wife.
Giuliani also questioned if Ohr had written a waiver for his wife’s work at Fusion GPS.
What are the odds the DOJ or Mueller have begun an investigation of Bruce Ohr for violating 18 USC sec. 208? That’s a federal felony unless he disclosed all facts to the DOJ and has a written waiver. How many of you know what that is?

Ohr’s wife was financially benefitted by Ohr, a DOJ official, advancing the Steele phony dossier. Her firm got some part of the $1.02 million paid by Hillary and DNC. A crime unless he has a written waiver from Obama’s politicized DOJ which is possible.

Mrs. Ohr’s Distrustful Russian Connection
Ohr’s wife is a Russia expert named Nellie Ohr.
She worked for Fusion GPS as part of its investigation.
The investigation was into collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.
This investigation was Democrat-funded.
More specifically, a large portion of it was funded by Hillary Clinton herself.
The law firm that represented the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid Fusion GPS over $1 million to investigate Trump.
Fusion GPS was founded by three former Wall Street Journal reporters.
The company paid Steele nearly $200,000 for his work.
Nellie Ohr was paid $44,000 for her contributions.

Bruce Ohr is in Too Deep
This was revealed during Bruce Ohr’s testimony earlier last week.
But it has been reported that Bruce Ohr did not obtain a conflict of interest waiver from the Justice Department for his wife’s work.
He hid his wife’s payments from Fusion GPS from the Department of Justice.
And according to Trump’s lawyer, Ohr’s wife receiving money on the dossier project was a crime.
Giuliani claimed it was a crime “unless he has a written waiver from Obama’s politicized DOJ which is possible.”
But he refuted that fact on Twitter.
“What are the odds the DOJ or Mueller have begun an investigation of Bruce Ohr for violating 18 USC sec. 208? That’s a federal felony unless he disclosed all facts to the DOJ and has a written waiver. How many of you know what that is?”
The Justice Department would not comment on the matter.
A spokeswoman for the department referred the issue to the DOJ’s office of the inspector general.
One thing is certain.
Hillary Clinton had her hands in deep with Fusion GPS.
And now, one of her close allies will be paying the price.
Do you believe Clinton’s lawyer funded the Fusion GPS project?
Do you believe Bruce Ohr and his wife are guilty of hiding information from the DOJ?
