Allegations of FBI and DOJ officials concealing Steele dossier bias and Fusion GPS links from FISC
Allegations of FBI and DOJ officials concealing Steele dossier bias and Fusion GPS links from FISC The passage provides specific names (Bruce Ohr, Bill Priestap, James Comey, Deputy Director McCabe) and alleged actions (concealing Steele's anti‑Trump bias, sharing opposition research paid by the DNC/Clinton campaign, and misrepresenting dossier credibility to the FISA court). These details suggest concrete follow‑up steps such as reviewing FBI and DOJ communications, FISA applications, and Fusion GPS contracts. The claim is highly controversial and could provoke public outcry if verified, but similar allegations have appeared in prior reporting, reducing novelty. The linkage to senior DOJ and FBI officials raises the power factor, though no direct evidence of illegal financial flow is presented. Key insights: Bruce Ohr, then‑Associate Deputy Attorney General, communicated regularly with Christopher Steele and documented Steele’s anti‑Trump bias.; Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS, which was paid by the DNC and Clinton campaign for opposition research on Trump.; FBI allegedly failed to disclose Ohr’s and his wife’s connections to Steele and Fusion GPS in the FISA applications to the court.
