By the FBI/DOJ in order frame Trump. Even the MSM is having to write stories explaining away planning sessions between Fusion GPS and the DOJ prior to the election.

One quote:
One of the meetings he recounted was a Washington breakfast attended by Steele, a Steele associate and Ohr. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, who worked for the political research firm, Fusion GPS, that hired Steele, attended at least part of it.
That breakfast took place amid ongoing FBI concerns about Russian election interference and possible communication with Trump associates.
That revelation prompted the FBI to open the counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016, one day after the breakfast but based on entirely different information.
That “Steele associate” was none other than Glenn Simpson. Why don’t they name him? Maybe because Simpson swore under oath to Congress that he never had a meeting about the Steele dossier with anyone associated with the DOJ prior to the election. Whoops!
Then The NY Times jumps into the fray this weekend in order to soft pedal a Russian oligarch’s dealings with the FBI/DOJ. They were trying to “flip” him. Very cute.

They gave Deripaska multiple visas to enter the U.S. and conduct business because they wanted to “flip him”....and the FBI asked him to help them with the Trump investigation in September 2016 because they wanted to “flip him”…. and they took the Steele Dossier for use in their political opposition research because they wanted to “flip” him… or something.
What happened to the $25 million in ransom money that Deripaska put up back in 2009 during that botched attempt to pay a ransom for an FBI agent held by the Iranians? Did I mention that operation was led by...wait for it...Andy McCabe and Bob Mueller! The Dream Team!
DOJ/FBI were using Russian-originated propaganda to create a ridiculous false optic that Trump was engaged with Russians during the 2016 election. Oh the irony...
Now that the relationship between Deripaska and the FBI is in the open, and connections are being made, the NYT needs to hide what was going on and spin the relationship.
The story is now Bruce Ohr and FBI officials were in contact with Oleg Deripaska because they were trying to flip “Putin’s Oligarch”, and apparently that’s why they were so willing to accept the work product from Deripaska’s contracted employee, Christopher Steele.
Great story!
