1) Bruce Ohr’s relationship with Christopher Steele via texts and emails has been thrust into the spotlight recently.

The texts and emails are between Ohr and Steele but involve other parties as well.

2) Ohr is a long-time friend of Steele w/relationship going back to at least 2006 (includes Ohr’s wife Nellie).

Adam Waldman represented Oleg Deripaska & Sergey Lavrov.

Waldman also represented Christopher Steele & Julian Assange.

3) Steele appears to be lobbying on behalf of Oleg Deripaska – raising questions of Deripaska’s role in the Dossier.

It’s not clear if Steele was employed by Deripaska – but it feels that way.

This question was first raised by Grassley in February 2018.
