for him it may in a sense playing hard ball. i guess it depends who in washington you ask what could ultimately mean for national security. eric: it is very partisan too. meanwhile bruce ohr shgs we are hearing a lot about him. he was the former associate deputy attorney general. his wife nelly worked for fusion gps, you know, and meanwhile those e-mails show that ohr was in contact with christopher steele and glen simpson, the head of gps. what was he doing? he wasn t apparently on the russia investigation. he s having e-mails and/or meetings and breakfast. what s going on? they even had an e-mail that said there was concern they will be exposed. how does that fit in? is the president on solid ground when he s going after bruce ohr? we know they haven t found any real evidence that what bruce or his wife were doing had an effect on the russia investigation. but again, like you said, he has kind of been tied up in these
john brennan. why is the president focusing on bruce ohr we have heard a lot about and especially his wife in connection to the investigation? they have tried to paint a picture of bruce ohr and his wife as key players behind the conspiracy to taint the president with the russia investigation. he worked in counternarcotics and in the organized crime division. newly texts reportedly show he was in touch with christopher steele the former british spy who compiled the dossier that included unverified allegations that russia had dirt on president trump. ohr s wife worked for fusion gps an opposition research firm hired by the washington free beacon and later the clinton campaign to investigate any ties trump had to russia. ohr was not involved in the russia probe. the president has tweeted about them repeatedly. quote, he s in legal jeopardy, it s astonishing he s still
