Bruce Ohr, a key figure in the Russian investigation conspiracy, was given a substantial “performance” bonus by the DOJ the same year he helped the Steele dossier be given to the FBI. Fox News reports:
Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department official whose connection to the opposition research firm responsible for the anti-Trump “dossier” led to his eventual demotion, was awarded a $28,000 performance bonus while the Russia probe was ongoing, according to newly released DOJ documents.
The records do not indicate why Ohr was given the bonus in November 2016, though they show he also received a $14,520 bonus a year earlier, totaling $42,520 over a two-year period.
A Justice Department spokesman on Friday did not immediately return an inquiry from Fox News about the bonuses.
The conservative group Judicial Watch, known for suing for public records, released the documents related to Ohr’s salary Friday, saying they obtained them from the Justice Department through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Did nefarious actors pay Ohr with tax dollars for his role in hurting President Trump? It remains inconclusive so far, but Bill Barr’s investigation is only the beginning of Ohr’s troubles.
What the hell is with bonus payments for government workers. They should never be incentive based because you can not measure their productivity. If you could there would be a hell of a lot less of them. This is despicable. They are highly paid with a great pension and health benefits. Kill the damn bonuses on government workers. It is nothing but a pay raise for those who kiss ass especially when they follow leadership that is corrupt and crooked like Comey, Mueller, et al.
Yeah right…like that’s going to happen. lol
If So? I demand my money to be returned!!!
Anyone know who I would speak to?
Yeah right…like that’s going to happen. lol
You Americans would do NOTHING about it anyway because of blind patriotism to a corrupt system!
It is totally amazing when some wish to publish part of something to make a point which can only be made when ALL the facts are known,
Why is no one paying attention to the budget-busting, deficit-exploding tax breaks given to all the billionaires by Trump and the plutocratic Republican Congress?
Get real… Money comes for the House of Representatives and the only money being appropriated there is for Pelosi’s pet projects. And of yeah, your lovey House Democrats are trying to secretly give themselves a raise. As if the useless scum are even worth what they are currently paid.
So true, Cut their pay in half and no more benefits and than that would be too much pay. They have more vacation days than work days.
Arrest Ohr and his corrupt Polical wife . These deserve 50 years . Screw the tax payers you corrupt bastards .close down GPS and the corrupt owner who was paid by D N C and Clinton campaign . I have come to the conclusion there are more corrupt politicians and untrustworthy people in DC than honest ones . Strock page Obama’s brenner rice Comey mueller , should I go on . Arrest these whores and put in to penetentary general population where they can screw each other .
you go that right. We can only change it at the ballot box, but too many liberals and illegals are voting.
Time to eliminate ALL bonus pay. That is our tax dollars being given away to cronies.
There is nothing we can do they call all the shots. I wish I could have worked for somebody where I could give myself raises, benefits and vacation time plus get security details.
