1) Sometimes a simple picture can tell you quite a bit.
I sent a tweet out a short bit ago on timing that didn't get the attention it should have.

2) Ohr's First FBI Interview took place on 11-22-16.
The reason for this is simple.
Steele had been terminated by the FBI in early November 2016 after his 2nd leak to the media.

3) The FBI's hand was forced after the second leak.
One might be forgiven. A 2nd was maybe a bit too much.

4) Steele was also suddenly expendable.
The FBI already had the FISA Warrant on Carter Page - granted on October 21, 2016.

5) But Steele's information could still be useful - FISA Renewals would be needed.
A conduit was needed.
Enter Bruce Ohr.

6) Ohr would have 12 meetings with the FBI.
Information was transmitted to the FBI from Steele at each interview.
This information would be formally transcribed via FD-302's

7) At first there was a lag between interviews and formalized documentation via FD-302's.
But suddenly - on 12-19-16 - the FBI decided to play catch-up.
3 FD-302's would be filled out on this date.

8) From this point forward, the lag between Ohr interviews and FD-302 documentation would be minimal.
Why would this change?

9) The answer is two-fold. And important.
1) Obama's NSA Data-sharing Order was effected on 1/3/17 - allowed for broader intelligence dissemination.
2) 1st Renewal of Carter Page FISA was upcoming on 1/12/17.
This is why those FD-302's were suddenly caught up.

10) These points are actually fairly significant.
Point 1 tells the story of Obama Administration's efforts to disseminate intelligence.
Point 2 tells the story of FISA Abuse.
Both are critical to what happened.

11) Information passed from Steele to Bruce Ohr was then passed to the FBI.
This information then made its way into unofficial intelligence channels.
It may also have been used in Page's FISA Renewals.
Let that sink in for a minute.

12) Now consider this.
What's going to happen when those FD-302's are fully declassified?
Imagine the lines that are drawn outwards from that information.

13) Follow the information flows from the Bruce Ohr 302's and you uncover the participants.
Those 302's may prove critical to unveiling the coup players.
Perhaps I should say proving the participants. We already know who most are.

14) This is why CNN, NYT, WAPO would have you believe Ohr is nothing more than a bit player.
A poor targeted DOJ employee.
Never-mind the fact he was the fourth highest-ranking DOJ Official.
Or that he reported directly to Sally Yates.

15) Ohr's last known interview takes place on 5-15-17.
Two things occur around this time.
Mueller appointed SC on 5-17-17.
IG Horowitz discovers Stzok/Page texts in late May/Early June.

17) Bruce Ohr's scheduled testimony is on August 28, 2018.
Goodlatte & Gowdy have already requested any additional FD-302's.
Tick. Tock.
