Hopes are high out here in flyover country that the Department of Justice will experience some major reform. Surely there are plenty of people in that department who would like a return to the time when they were held in much higher esteem than now. But that's going to take work.
Judicial Watch has done a lot of the work that that needed doing to pull some of the nefarious activities out of the shadows and into the spotlight. Here's John Solomon's latest at thehill.com, Nellie Ohr's 'Hi Honey' emails to DOJ about Russia collusion should alarm us all:
Now, a series of “Hi Honey” emails from Nellie Ohr to her high-ranking federal prosecutor husband and his colleagues raise the prospect that Hillary Clinton-funded opposition research was being funneled into the Justice Department during the 2016 election through a back-door marital channel. It's a tale that raises questions of both conflict of interest and possible false testimony.
Ohr has admitted to Congress that, during the 2016 presidential election, she worked for Fusion GPS — the firm hired by Democratic nominee Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to perform political opposition research — on a project specifically trying to connect Donald Trump and his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to Russian organized crime.
Now, 339 pages of emails from her private account to Department of Justice (DOJ) email accounts, have been released under a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. And they are raising concerns among Republicans in Congress, who filed a criminal referral with the Justice Department on Wednesday night.
Hat's off to Judicial Watch for doing the work that Americans want done.
