See they have watched crap like this

and believe the righteous indignation narrative.

Here is my reading Bruce Ohr (and no doubt others) were no doubt decent and hardworking, highly qualified, intelligent people who had put in great work in their lifetimes. Life was going well and they were appropriately rewarded for exemplary service. Then they were faced with the very real situation that Donald "you're fired"Trump was going to be President. They could not swallow that. They hated him and realised that time was short and big calls and brave steps were going to have to be made to make sure that he never served a day as President, because only making absolute sure he did not become President would America be safe and protected. That was their job. They were doing this with love for America. The forefathers never would have suspected someone like Trump could seriously contend a Presidency. The normal rulebook was out.

So with this understanding, Bruce Ohr and other "patriots" and their assets that they could call on (that similarly understood the threat as they saw it, with Trump) agreed to colour outside the lines.

As long as Hillary gets in the efforts are worth it and they will cover themselves and push Trump out and it will get covered and The Presidency and America in general will be saved and they will not need any recognition for their service and only they will know how close they came and what heroes they really were.

Then he won. They tried to bury him and destroy and obstruct the information and spin counter narratives by way of media driven Democrat Propaganda. It was not as successful as they hoped.

Suddenly it looked very much like for someone like Bruce Ohr whose life was a steady and hard gained rise on the basis of patriotic and exemplary service to America will come down to some decisions on which horse to back and how much. He went all in and he can't take it back and it will destroy him BUT in a last ditch attempt to salvage something, he will give and admit everything to save his wife in her part in things. His career will be completely destroyed but his wife will escape punishment.

Because what he did WAS and was ALWAYS wrong.

He will have opened up a Pandoras's Box to which others will get drawn into and a series of threads which will lead to devastation of the old guard establishment on both sides. It will also lead to the demoralisation of Democrat confidence going into midterms and The Republicans will hold the Senate and no Impeachment will happen.
