Why Russian Expert, CIA Advisor and DOJ Spouse Nellie Ohr Working for Fusion-GPS in 2015 Matters
conservative treehouse ^ | September 2, 2018 | sundance

Posted on 09/02/2018 5:13:46 PM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Regardless of how far into the DOJ and FBI investigative network/timeline you get with the story it always circles back to the 2015/2016 abuse of the NSA and FBI database. The origin of “spygate” or the myriad of downstream issues all come back to a network of government contractors who were exploiting their database access for political opposition research. Not only is this a reality, it’s also where the deep swamp doesn’t want the focus.

Other than a few intrepid researchers who keep drawing attention to this issue, no-one within mainstream media -or even allied media- can touch this third-rail of intelligence corruption which lies at the heart of FISA abuse. One of those intrepid truth-tellers, Jeff Carlson, draws attention to it again today [SEE HERE]. If President Trump wants to dismantle the deep state, declassifying the April 2017 FISC ruling IS the place to start.

One of the bombshell admissions from a closed-door testimony by DOJ official Bruce Ohr was that his wife, Nellie Ohr, was working for opposition research firm Fusion GPS already in late 2015.

Previously, it had been reported that Nellie Ohr was hired to find dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump in the spring of 2016.

“Ohr testified that Fusion approached his wife for a job and that she began working for the research firm in late 2015,” the Daily Caller reported. (read more)

Remember, the New York Times even tried to lie about Nellie Ohr working on the dossier.

However, perhaps unexpectedly for the journalists who participated in the scheme, Bruce Ohr told congress the truth about his wife’s work history. Yes, Nellie Ohr worked on the Dossier:

Kim Strassell – Congressional sources tell me that Mr. Ohr revealed Tuesday that he verbally warned the FBI that its source had a credibility problem, alerting the bureau to Mr. Steele’s leanings and motives. He also informed the bureau that Mrs. Ohr was working for Fusion and contributing to the dossier project.

This is a key point {GO DEEP} and one that highlights the severity of how far the media is willing to go in their effort to protect the deep state enterprise and engagements in 2015 and 2016. Mrs. Nellie Ohr was not only a Fusion GPS contracted employee, she was also part of the CIA’s Open Source Works, in Washington DC (link)

Both Mr. and Mrs Ohr worked on a collaborative CIA group project surrounding International Organized Crime.

When you overlay the timeline with the demonstrable activity, it becomes transparently easy to see exactly what was taking place.

Fusion-GPS contracted with Nellie Ohr in “late 2015”. This is the exact same time when thousands of unauthorized “contractor searches” were taking place within the NSA/FBI database. The FISA Court reviewed the activity and the self-reporting forced upon the DOJ National Security Division. This included willing testimony of NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers who informed the court about the scale and scope of the abuse.

Any reviewer of the information would need to be intellectually dishonest not to see exactly what this was about. The thousands of unauthorized searches, 85% of them violations of FISA laws, were transparent political opposition research being done during the primary season of the 2016 Presidential Election.

In June/July 2016 an initial DOJ FISA request is denied. This is simultaneous to FBI agent Strzok direct contact with Christopher Steele and the preliminary draft of the Russian dossier.

Then in August 2016, Christopher Steele goes to Sir Andrew Wood to ask him to act as a go-between to reach Senator John McCain. [Trying to give his dossier credibility]

Meanwhile throughout July, August and Sept 2016 Fusion GPS is paying journalists (NYT, ABC, NBC, Washington Post and Mother Jones, etc.) to listen to Christopher Steele and simultaneously shopping the dossier to them.

Soon thereafter, October 2016 – The Obama administration, through FBI Agent Peter Strzok and DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr, submits a new, more narrow application to the FISA court, now focused on Carter Page who the FBI claim is an agent of a foreign government. The second FISA application is accepted, designating Carter Page as a spy, and a surveillance warrant is granted by presiding FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer.

Here it is important to note that, despite the FBI specifically calling Carter Page “an agent of a foreign power”, Carter Page was never charged with anything.

The issuance of the October 26th, 2016, FISA Title-1 Surveillance Warrant applied retroactively toward all of Carter Page’s electronic communication, travel, emails, text messages, metadata and authorizes wire-taps and active surveillance. This level of surveillance encompasses anyone Page contacted within two-hops of his origination. Because FISA warrants apply retroactively all of the unlawfully obtained prior search information now became lawful and subject to further exploration.

Additionally this FISA process meant the entire Trump Campaign, and Trump-transition team, and Trump administration, was under full, active, FBI electronic surveillance forward from October 26th, 2016, through three renewals, until the surveillance warrant finally expired in October of 2017.

All of this originates back in late 2015 when the FBI and DOJ-NSD were allowing political contractors, many of whom were likely also journalists, to have access to the databases within the NSA and FBI. This is not conspiracy theory, this is a factual conspiracy.

Sundance either is a workaholic or someone is telling him where to look. I know of no others who have noticed that Nellie Ohr began working for Fusion in 2015 and not 2016.

When they bring Nellie in to testify, I hope she spills the beans on who she was communicating with on her ham radio.

She had a technicians license. Almost no HF priviliages. You do not learn morse quickly. Although is is not difficult to get a higher license.

It is possible she used a VHF or UHF to web portal to talk through the internet.

OR she might have simply done here talking on simplex, which could have gone undetected for short distances.

I’ve yet to see anyone make a good argument for how Ham Radio could help her. (I hold an Amateur Extra and Commercial Radio license)

It will be interesting to learn what the HAM radio thing was all about

it's very probable Nellie and Bruce Ohr are highly motivated to help inform investigators about the extent of the conspiracy to frame Donald Trump and his team to remove them from office.

Why?

Each one of those NSA searches was illegal and under many circumstance the penalty for illegally abusing the NSA surveillance system is a mandatory 10 years PER OCCURENCE. If Nellie's was performing even a small fraction of those illegal searches and even if only a small number were covered under the 10 year jail penalty, it only takes three to put here in jail for what is effectively the rest of her life

Thank you for linking the Federalist article. I suspect Nellie Ohr believed HAM was not monitored by NSA and that she was therefore safe to conduct Fusion One business in her fluent Russian. I also suspect she was wrong and that Trump already has everything. The key is getting what you already know into evidence. My guess is that Bruce and Nellie Ohr are cooperating witnesses. Time will tell...

If it was no help. Why did a middle aged lady get a ham license? She didn’t need a license to listen.

Cooperating with whom? I don’t see any “righteous” prosecutors working on anything related to anything tied in to anti-Trump activities.

When real prosecutors are working, you aren't supposed to see them. The US Attorney's name is John Huber and he isn't talking. Time will tell what he's been doing, but President Trump's enemies seem quite panicked about it.

an excellent resource:

Conservapedia: FusionGPS
The Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million in legal fees from June 2015 to December 2016, according to campaign finance records, and the DNC paid the firm $3.6 million in “legal and compliance consulting” since November 2015...

btw who will investigate the FakeNewsMSM involvement in all of this? and that includes all the ex-WSJ mob at FusionGPS.

14 Jan 2017: Daily Mail: Meet the espionage firm which ordered Trump ‘dirty dossier’ - a secretive D.C. firm which has aided Planned Parenthood and attacked Mitt Romney’s friends
Fusion GPS is run by three former Wall Street Journal reporters: Glenn Simpson; Tom Catan; and Peter Fritsch.
Simpson was educated at George Washington University, and worked for Roll Call in Washington and the Wall Street Journal.

***He left there in 2009, and later spoke of his discontent at the paper after it was bought by Rupert Murdoch...

Do they own a boat? Many people use amateur radio VHF/UHF hand helds instead of marine radios. Cost much less, Licensing is easy now.

Unless she made connections via web portal from VHF or UHF transceivers she would not be able to make contact with England. (Steele)

Here is the archive of her license:

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/LicArchive/license.jsp?archive=Y&licKey=12382876

It is no longer active, if you search for that call sign on the FCC website it is no longer found. Only on the archive portion. Generally, they don’t re-issue licenses.

Unnamed "multiple sources" claim that Huber has not interviewed Bruce Ohr, and we accept that as fact? It is highly unlikely that Ohr - the most senior career officer at DOJ - has not given multiple interviews to DOJ IG Horowitz as well as to USA Huber. That sounds very much like fake news. Time will tell...
