'Duty as a citizen': Bruce Ohr concealed efforts to spread Steele dossier

Bruce Ohr, the highest-ranking Obama Justice Department official to involve himself in distributing the anti-Trump dossier, carried out his freelancing through numerous meetings, phone calls and emails as a link between the FBI and Hillary Clinton forces.

He told a colleague that the Russia election scandal reached the top � Donald Trump. It was his �duty as a citizen� to spread the unverified allegations around town, he said.

During all of Mr. Ohr�s maneuverings, from the summer of 2016 to Mr. Trump�s election to the fall of 2017, he hid the operation from his bosses.

Mr. Horowitz�s 434-page report on FBI abuse of wiretap laws to target Trump campaign associate Carter Page includes scores of pages on Mr. Ohr and his one-man Washington operation. The inspector general concluded that Mr. Ohr had committed �consequential errors in judgment� and �lapses in judgment.�
