Speaking during his opening monologue on ‘Hannity’ Thursday night, Sean called-out Barack Obama’s Department of Justice; saying new evidence shows a blatant two-tier justice system inside the DOJ.
“Newly unearthed, hand-written notes that we now have, senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr knew about the effort to leak the dirty dossier to the press prior to the election… It gets even worse,” said Hannity.
“Bruce Ohr also wrote that Glenn Simpson gave him a memory stick during a meeting at a coffee shop. Where’s this memory stick? To put this simply: this new clear evidence is showing Hillary Clinton’s research team was working with the Department of Justice to malign an opposition party candidate,” he added.

DOJ DISGRACE: DOJ Official Concealed FUSION GPS PAYMENTS from Department
Newly released documents show Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr failed to disclose payments made from shady opposition firm Fusion GPS to his wife; neglecting to obtain the necessary “waiver” that a member of his family was acting on behalf of the Democratic party in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
According to the Daily Caller, Ohr didn’t disclose his wife’s relationship with Fusion GPS -which was conducting research on behalf of the Democratic National Committee- to the Justice Department’s ethics panel; raising serious questions over his role behind the organization’s infamous ‘Trump Dossier.’
“The omission may explain why Ohr was demoted from his post as associate deputy attorney general after the relationship between Fusion GPS and his wife emerged and Fusion founder Glenn Simpson acknowledged meeting with Ohr. Willfully falsifying government ethics forms can carry a penalty of jail time, if convicted,” writes the Daily Caller.
Ohr’s omission comes as Congressional leaders struggle to determine the extent to which Fusion GPS, dossier author and former British spy Christopher Steele, and senior Obama officials interacted in the weeks leading up to the 2016 race for the White House.

FAMILY TIES: Fusion GPS Hired WIFE of DOJ Official to SNOOP on Trump
The co-founder of the shady opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted to Congressional investigators that his organization hired the wife of a top DOJ official to help investigate President Trump; raising new questions over how the infamous ‘Trump Dossier’ was compiled and who financed the phony report.
According to recently obtained court documents, Glenn Simpson told federal authorities that his firm held high-level meetings with Bruce Ohr –who was recently demoted from the Department of Justice for failing to disclose his meetings with Fusion GPS- and hired his wife, Nellie Ohr, to help investigate then-candidate Donald Trump last year.
“Fusion GPS has attracted scrutiny because Republican lawmakers have spent the better part of this year investigating whether the dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, served as the basis for the Justice Department and the FBI to obtain FISA surveillance last year on a Trump campaign adviser named Carter Page,” reports Fox News.
On Tuesday, senior Trump attorney Jay Sekulow called for a second special counsel to investigate possible conflicts of interest surrounding Ohr and other Department of Justice officials.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he was “aware” of Sekulow’s request, adding that he will pursue the “appropriate course of action.”
“I’ve put a senior attorney, with the resources he may need, to review cases in our office and make a recommendation to me … if things aren’t being pursued that need to be pursued, if cases may need more resources to complete in a proper manner, and to recommend to me if the standards for a special counsel are met,” said Sessions.
