On Thursday, Judicial Watch<\/a> posted the following Press Release:<\/p>\n

(Washington, DC)<\/span> \u2013 Judicial Watch today released an email revealing that Nellie Ohr, wife of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, informed him that she was deleting emails sent from Bruce Ohr\u2019s DOJ email account.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From<\/span>: Nellie Ohr<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sent<\/span>: Wednesday, April 20, 2016 12:49 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

To: Ohr, Bruce (ODAG)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subject<\/span>: Re: Analyst Russian Organized Crime \u2013 April 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks! I\u2019m deleting these emails now<\/strong><\/p>\n

The full email exchange<\/a> is between Bruce Ohr, Lisa Holtyn, Nellie Ohr, and Stefan Bress, a first secretary at the German Embassy, and is part of 339 pages<\/a>\u00a0of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request\u00a0(Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(No. 1:18-cv-00490)).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nellie Ohr\u2019s email has the same subject line as an email exchange with the subject line \u201cAnalyst Russian Organized Crime \u2013 April 2016\u201d in which Bress initiates a discussion with Bruce Ohr and his top aide, Lisa Holtyn, proffering some \u201cRussian analysts\u201d to discuss a variety of topics with Ohr, Holtyn, and other DOJ officials. Among those topics to be discussed is \u201cImpact of Russian influence operations in Europe (\u2018PsyOps\/InfoWar\u2019).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holtyn responds with, \u201cI haven\u2019t had a chance to confer with Bruce yet, but would certainly love to meet with the \u2018A Team\u2019!\u201d Bruce Ohr then says, \u201cThat time works for me as well.\u201d Bress then provides the personal details\/passport numbers of the German analysts who will be meeting with Holtyn and Ohr. Holtyn tells Bress that the Ohr\u2019s would like to host the German delegation for dinner and notes that Joe Wheatley and Ivana Nizich (a husband\/wife team of DOJ Organized Crime prosecutors and friends of the Ohr\u2019s) would join them as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until he was demoted for his connection to the anti-Trump dossier, Bruce Ohr was a top official at DOJ. A House Intelligence Committee\u00a0memo<\/a>\u00a0released by Chairman Devin Nunes said that Nellie Ohr was \u201cemployed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump\u201d and that Bruce Ohr passed the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI. The \u201csalacious and unverified<\/a>\u201d Dossier was used to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance warrant to spy on Carter Page.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These documents are part of Nellie Ohr\u2019s and the DOJ\u2019s communications<\/a> about Russia. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) recently wrote up a criminal referral<\/a> concerning her testimony before Congress that she had no knowledge of what was going on during the Russia investigation at DOJ.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis email is disturbing and suggests documents relevant to the improper targeting of President Trump were destroyed,\u201d said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This production of documents also revealed<\/a> that Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele\u00a0was terminated<\/a>\u00a0by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans just spent upwards of $30 million and two years investigating Russian collusion and obstruction of said investigation. Why weren’t deleted emails from key players in the investigation looked at?<\/p>\n

The investigation into the investigators has something in common with many Clinton scandals. Although the Clintons are only tangentially involved in this scandal, it bears one of their trademarks–keep the scandal in the news until people are sick of it. At that point, reveal the truth. The public will be so bored with the basic scandal that they won’t even notice or process the truth. I hope I am wrong about this–people involved in the abuse of government power need to go to jail, but I am afraid that by the time the truth comes out, no one will care.<\/p>\n
