Judicial Watch Sues U.S. Dept. of Justice Regarding Bruce Ohr & Peter Strzok

The press room at Judicial Watch sent out a Press Release June 7, 2019 wherein JW stated:

DOJ Documents Show Bruce Ohr Was Given a $28,000
Bonus During Russiagate Investigation Plus a Raise.

Holy mackerel! But why?

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, which were filed by JW in January, 2018, were fulfilled recently, and this is what came back:

The documents show that on November 13, 2016, Ohr was given a performance award of $28,000. This was during the time of his deep involvement in the highly controversial Justice Department surveillance of the Trump presidential campaign. The bonus was nearly double the $14,250 performance award he was given on November 29, 2015.

Bruce Ohr was married to Nellie Ohr of Fusion GPS and was removed because of his conflict of interest and role as conduit for Fusion GPS material. The documents show that Ohr was removed from his position as Associate Deputy Attorney General on December 6, 2017. On January 7, 2018, Ohr was reassigned from his position of director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) and shifted to Counselor for International Affairs in the Department of Justice Criminal Division. Ohr received a $2,600 pay increase.

“These documents will raise questions as to whether the conflicted Bruce Ohr, who the FBI used to launder information from Christopher Steele was rewarded for his role in the illicit targeting of President Trump,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. [CJF emphasis]

Judicial Watch has five current lawsuits pursuing information on Bruce Ohr.

Can anyone even imagine what eventual releases of the Mueller investigation documents by Attorney General William Barr will reveal further?
