Changes

*'''7 December.''' Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce G. Ohr stripped of his post and demoted. Ohr met during the 2016 campaign with Christopher Steele, author of the ''Steele dossier''. Ohr also met shortly after the election with Glenn Simpson, founder of FusionGPS – the opposition research firm that hired Steele to compile the dossier with funds supplied by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. By then, the dossier had been in the hands of the FBI for some five months, and the surveillance on Carter Page, an adviser to the Trump campaign, had started more than two months prior. Attn Gen. Loretta Lynch used the paid opposition research to justify a foreign surveillance warrant (FISA) against Page. DOJ and FBI have “stonewalled” a House investigation Speaker [[Paul Ryan]] stated in a rare public statement in October. The demotion of Ohr marks the second time the Justice Department and the FBI have disciplined for misconduct a senior official connected to the Trump-Russia hoax. Simpson and Ohr met sometime around Thanksgiving 2016 when President-elect Trump was in the process of selecting his cabinet, and discussed the Clinton  campaign's ''Steele dossier'', the Russia meddlng investigation, and what Simpson considered the distressing development of Trump’s victory. Evidence suggests Ohr and Simpson were placed in touch by Steele, whose contacts with Ohr are said by senior DOJ officials to date back to 2006. Chairman Nunes, who has instructed staff to draft contempt-of-Congress citations against Rod Rosenstein and the FBI issued a fresh subpoena on Thursday specifically covering Ohr and his files.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/07/top-doj-official-demoted-amid-probe-contacts-with-trump-dossier-firm.html </ref>
