Criminality Of Deep State Investigation Of Trump Confirmed — Has U.S. Become A Banana Republic? (https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/deep-state-fbi-justice-criminality/)
The interesting thing about Ohr's testimony is that he was not represented by FBI lawyers like McCabe, Strzok, Priestap, and others and it turns out he was much more forthcoming with answers.

Both the Justice Department and FBI have maintained they didn't really know that Trump Dossier compiler Christopher Steele had any bias at all against Trump (https://thefederalist.com/2019/01/17/top-mueller-officials-coordinated-with-fusion-gps-spouse-in-2016/). And, even when they got their hands on Steele's unverified dossier on Trump, they claim they didn't know that Steele's employer, Fusion GPS, had any conflicts of interest.

As John Solomon reported in The Hill, "The then-senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official (Ohr) briefed both senior FBI and DOJ officials in summer 2016 (https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/425739-fisa-shocker-doj-official-warned-steele-dossier-was-connected-to-clinton) about Christopher Steele's Russia dossier (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html), explicitly cautioning that the British intelligence operative's work was opposition research connected to Hillary Clinton (https://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton)'s campaign and might be biased."
