EITHER OHR

The Daily Caller is reporting that Bruce Ohr received a phone call from Christopher Steele on May 10, 2017. Allegedly Steele said he was “afraid they will be exposed.”

The timing is significant.  This was the day after Trump fired Comey.  On May 17, 2017, Rosenstein announced the appointment of Robert S. Mueller to serve as Special Counsel.

I determined that a Special Counsel is necessary in order for the American people to have full confidence in the outcome. Our nation is grounded on the rule of law, and the public must be assured that government officials administer the law fairly.

The MSM instantly assumed that the Special Counsel was out to get Trump. But what if the real objective was how: “government officials administer the law?” So far, Trump has not been accused of anything. Both the Special Counsel and Rod Rosenstein have repeated said the President is not under investigation. Mueller hired a lot of highly partisan Democrats to conduct the investigation. If he was out to get Trump, he should have included Republicans to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. Mueller knows that. So does Rosenstein. However, if the real target was not the Trump campaign, but rather people within the FBI and the DOJ, then this makes sense.

Look at how the MSM responded to the firing of Comey, McCabe and Strzok. Observe how they responded to Trump stripping John Brennan of his security clearance. Any investigation by someone appointed by Trump would have been debunked. Without regard to the facts, the MSM always portrays the FBI, the DOJ, and the Intelligence Services as above reproach and they express outrage at any hint of criticism. But no one objected to the Mueller investigation because they were so sure Trump was the target.

After all this time there still isn’t even a hint of collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia. None of the indictments by Mueller even mention Trump. But the players within the FBI, the DOJ and the Intelligence services are all out of power. Some of them have been fired and some of them are facing the real possibility of indictment. All of this happened after Mueller was appointed Special Counsel. Coincidence? Some of the worst offenders were assigned to Mueller’s team. Was that to catch Trump or to catch them?

Richard Burr, Chairman of the SSCI, has consistently backed the FBI, the DOJ and the intelligence agencies. That all changed yesterday when he issued the following statement:

“If Director Brennan’s statement is based on intelligence he received while still leading the CIA, why didn’t he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment released in 2017?”

“If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach. If he has some other personal knowledge of or evidence of collusion, it should be disclosed to the Special Counsel, not The New York Times.”

“If, however, Director Brennan’s statement is purely political and based on conjecture, the president has full authority to revoke his security clearance as head of the Executive Branch.”

The SSCI has been very careful to protect the reputation of the FBI, DOJ and CIA. Burr has access to all the documents. Unlike Devin Nunes, he has not been critical of people like John Brennan. That makes this statement all the more powerful. Wise people will recognize this and respond accordingly.

The Russian Collusion myth has not only collapsed; it has turned into a world class backfire. Instead of closing in on Trump, the investigators are closing in on those who started all this with a patently false narrative. This is so obvious that at some point even CNN may notice.
