jwatch.us/oeAbv5
Until his dossier-related demotion, Bruce Ohr was 4th-ranked official at DOJ & a contact for Steele. The House GOP Intel / Nunes memo says Nellie Ohr was employed by Fusion GPS to cultivate oppo research on Trump & that Bruce Ohr gave it to the FBI. (2/8)
jwatch.us/oeAbv5
JW’s FOIA request on Bruce Ohr seeks all records of communication including emails, text messages, & instant chats between Bruce Ohr and Christopher Steele (author of the dossier), Glenn Simpson (owner of Fusion GPS), & any employees of Fusion GPS. (3/8)

JW’s FOIA request on Nellie Ohr seeks all records of communication including emails, text messages, and instant chats, between DOJ officials in the Attorney General’s Office and Fusion GPS employee or contractor Nellie Ohr. (4/8)
jwatch.us/oeAbv5
The Nunes memo notes Steele maintained contact with Bruce Ohr: “Steele admitted to Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump when Steele said he ‘was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.’” (5/8)
jwatch.us/oeAbv5
The House GOP’s House Intel memo / Nunes memo also states: “This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by [Bruce] Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files – but not reflected in any of the [Carter] Page FISA applications.” (6/8)
jwatch.us/oeAbv5
Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: "Bruce Ohr, a top Justice Department official in the Obama administration, had an obvious conflict of interest through his wife Nellie’s work with the Clinton/DNC vendor Fusion GPS on the anti-Trump Dossier." (7/8)
jwatch.us/oeAbv5
Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: "Once again, the Deep State Justice Department is covering up evident misconduct targeting President Trump… The DOJ needs to come clean about this scandal and turn over the documents as federal law requires." (8/8)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This Judicial Watch lawsuit confirmed that Los Angeles County has on its rolls 1.5 million or more potentially ineligible voters. This means over one in every five L.A. County registrations likely belongs to a voter who has moved or is deceased. (2/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

Barack Hussein Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of largest fees ever levied against presidential campaign

Why was this Hidden from #WeThePeople?
👇This Thread explains👇
📢#RETWEET 📢
(2)Barack Hussein Obama fine — laid out in FEC documents that have — arose from an audit of campaign, which was published in April. Which was sent to Sean Cairncross, chief lawyer for RNC, one of groups that filed complaints about campaign’s FEC reporting from 2008
📢#RETWEET 📢
(3)“$375,000 is huge fine,” said Republican election lawyer Jason Torchinsky. “It may be one of their top five- or 10-largest fines”

But he added, “They’re also the first billion-dollar presidential campaign. Proportionally, it’s not out of line”

1. Our system of government is based on checks and balances.
Ever since the beginning of the 20th Century, the Executive has, to one degree or another, been the dominant branch of government in large part due to the explosion of the Federal bureaucracy.
2. Hundreds of agencies, departments, programs, task forces, and commissions are an arsenal that in the wrong hands can be used against the very freedom the government is supposed to uphold, "protect and defend."
3. Rest assured, it’s bn in the wrong hands for waaaaaay too long... until now. @realDonaldTrump walked into our lives with a promise "Drain the Swamp" and WE Said YES.

Scary bc the same FBI agents who changed rules
to avoid indicting 😳Crooked H used flawed & biased oppo research from HER political campaign to launch a counter intel investigation agnst her opponent during a presidential election year.
2. Scary bc mbrs of the @realDonaldTrump campaign were 🎥surveilled by the federal govt, which acquired FISA warrants based on that flawed; biased & FAKE information.
3. Scary bc information obtained by that 📸surveillance was leaked to the media to feed a 💩false Russia-collusion narrative, to give ammo to @realDonaldTrump’s political opponents to sink his nominees for key federal positions,...
