Witness accused of lying about Russian collusion

Blaze:

Newly declassified records reportedly show that a key figure in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation lied to Congress about her involvement in the scheme to accuse Donald Trump of Russian collusion during his first presidential campaign.

The documents were released by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa as a part of the Senate Judiciary Committee probe into the origins of the collusion narrative.

The FBI analysis from 2019 was declassified at Grassley's request, through his role as the chair of the Judiciary Committee.

It documents the evidence that Nellie Ohr, researcher for Fusion GPS, had lied during sworn testimony before Congress about the opposition research firm that had been hired by the Democratic National Committee as well as the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

Grassley said the FBI analysis concluded that Ohr had lied but that the DOJ declined to prosecute her at the time. He also claimed the FBI prevented agents from "reviewing all relevant information necessary to perform a full analysis" of Ohr's allegedly criminal testimony.

In addition to several alleged lies Ohr told in her testimony, the analysis found reasonable evidence to conclude that Ohr "may have been involved" with drafting parts of the infamous Steele dossier, as well as conspiring with her husband, Bruce Ohr, who worked as an associate deputy attorney general at the Justice Department, to pass her work on to FBI officials.

“By lying to Congress, Nellie Ohr showed contempt for congressional oversight and the American people. What’s more, the FBI and DOJ’s failure to hold Ohr accountable for appearing to commit multiple felonies and its obstructive conduct against agents that sought additional information reveals the agencies’ deeply disturbing political bias," said Grassley in a statement released Wednesday.

 The Russian Collusion Hoax was one of the biggest political frauds in US history.  It was completely without merit.  It was an attempt by Hillary Clinton and her supporters to attack Trump and his supporters with bogus charges.  There should have been consequences for those responsible for the bogus allegations.
