Glenn Simpson and Bruce Ohr
First Rosenstein was a no-show for a Thursday interview with GOP lawmakers, now Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson is refusing to testify to the House Judiciary Committee.
GOP lawmakers were seeking more testimony from Glenn Simpson to iron things out after Bruce Ohr gave a conflicted testimony to Congress in August.
Glenn Simpson hired Christopher Steele to compile the 35-page salacious Russia dossier during the 2016 election–to this day, the allegations in the dossier have not been verified yet the FBI still used the dossier to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump’s campaign.
Hillary Clinton and the DNC ultimately paid Simpson and Steele for the dossier and tried to hide the payments by funneling them through the swamp law firm, Perkins Coie.
It is also alleged by many GOP House members that Nellie Ohr may have passed the dossier along to her husband twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
Nellie Ohr also refused to testify and it is being reported GOP lawmakers are gearing up to issue her a subpoena to compel a testimony.
On Thursday night Catherine Herridge on FOX News reported that Simpson likely lied under oath. Simpson told Congress he did not have contact with Bruce Ohr before the election. Bruce Ohr’s communications tell a different story.
Maybe that’s why Simpson won’t show up?
Freedom Caucus members Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) slammed Glenn Simpson Thursday evening.
MEADOWS: Rod Rosenstein doesn’t show today. Now Fusion’s Glenn Simpson reportedly takes the Fifth. At some point, we have to realize: the problem has never been President Trump. The problem is the coordinated effort to undermine him… and those who will stop at nothing to cover it up.

JORDAN: You know we’re getting close when first Rosenstein is a no-show, and now Glenn Simpson is taking the 5th.
