"Congressional sources tell me that Mr. Ohr revealed Tuesday that he verbally warned the FBI that its source had a credibility problem, alerting the bureau to Mr. Steele’s leanings and motives. He also informed the bureau that Mrs. Ohr was working for Fusion and contributing to the dossier project.

Mr. Ohr said, moreover, that he delivered this information before the FBI’s first application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a warrant against Trump aide Carter Page, in October 2016. Yet the FBI made no mention of this warning in the application, instead characterizing Mr. Steele as a “reliable” source. Nor does the application note that a senior Justice Department official’s spouse was contributing to the dossier and benefiting financially from a document the FBI was using in an investigation. That matters both because the FBI failed to flag the enormous conflict and because Mr. Steele’s work product potentially wasn’t entirely his own.

No reference to Mr. Ohr—direct or cloaked—can be found in any of the four applications for Page warrants, according to those who have seen them. This despite his more than a dozen conversations with FBI agents over the course of the probe that addressed the content in and sourcing behind the surveillance applications. I’m told Mr. Ohr made clear that these conversations variously included all the heavyweights in the FBI investigation—former lead investigator Peter Strzok, former FBI senior lawyer Lisa Page, and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. So senior people were very aware of his role, information and conflict...."

I can't think of one detail revealed since this scandal broke that puts the FBI in a good light. Not one.

The last paragraph pretty-well sums it all up:

Quote:The evidence continues to mount that the FBI didn’t want to know about bias, or about conflicts of interest, or about the political paymasters behind the dossier—and it certainly didn’t want the surveillance court to know. It wanted to investigate Donald Trump.

Can we assume that when a future pub presidental incumbent's FBI is laying land mines for a political rival, the left will be so equally unconcerned about FBI's methods as they are today? Of course not, we know they won't be. No, they'll be screaming bloody murder and rightfully so.

And not one that matters to a dem, truth be damned.

NY Times meanwhile, covers up the Russian collusion by the liberal partisans in the FBI:

Amazing, isn't it? The most we can get out of the hard-nosed reporting from the NYSlimes on this story of the century, is some nibbling around the edges. Imagine if the outgoing W administration's FBI had done the same to the incoming Magic Man's administration. There'd be more Slimes reporters covering the story than there were on flights to Alaska to investigate Palin.
