Nellie Ohr deleted emails sent from husband's DOJ account
Washington Examiner ^ | May 16, 2019 01:52 PM | Daniel Chaitin |

Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, told her husband she was deleting emails sent from his government account.

The revelation comes as both Ohrs remain under intense scrutiny for their ties to Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier that was used to obtain warrants to wiretap a member of President Trump's 2016 campaign.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained a series of April 2016 emails from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Justice Department that show a correspondence between the Ohrs, an aide to Bruce Ohr named Lisa Holtyn, and Stefan Bress, a first secretary at the German Embassy.

They discussed setting up a dinner for the German delegation as well as a meeting to discuss Russian organized crime. Included in a proposed agenda is the “Impact of Russian influence operations in Europe (‘PsyOps/InfoWar’).”

On April 20, responding to the email thread with the subject line, “Analyst Russian Organized Crime – April 2016," came the email from Nellie Ohr about deleting the emails. "Thanks! I’m deleting these emails now," she said.

Bruce Ohr was an associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force while his wife Nellie was an independent contractor and Russia specialist.

Emails previously released by Judicial Watch show Bruce Ohr acting as an unofficial back channel between the FBI and Steele. He was demoted when it was revealed he met with Steele and Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned Steele's work. Ohr also told lawmakers his wife shared a thumb drive with him to hand over to the FBI.

By the time indictment for these two get around to it much of the evidence will have been destroyed. That is why some of us are so damn tired of delays, talk talk talk and no jail.

America USED to have a DOJ.

But now we have Judicial Watch.

“America USED to have a DOJ. But now we have Judicial Watch.”

So well and succinctly stated, and so disturbing when you realize the truth of it.

Well Hillary Clinton did the same thing.

With e-mails sent from Obama’s account.

So, if it’s bad for Nellie, why isn’t it bad for Hillary?

Is there some difference between these two that I should be aware of?

There is already precedent. Destroying evidence is pretty much ok for democrat women. Ask the last democrat candidate for President.

This ‘story’ has been known about for over a year.
When I see Nellie’s name, or that of her husband Bruce, I don’t even finish the article, because it amounts to nothing but more talk.

If the Dems had the White House right now, I can assure you, they would not still be stumblin’, fumblin, and mumblin about the same three year old charges.
They would have thrown many judged to be guilty in prison.
They have already done this in their minority position.

Doesn’t matter what Nellie does to delete these from “her personal account” because the Agency’s servers, and Bruce’s .pst file and personal folder are backed up on a separate server from his log on terminal and thus they are held for compliance with records keeping regulations and statutes. Nellie is dumb and Bruce is even dumber if they believe simply deleting them will do the trick. Additionally, the metadata on the government Exchange Server has hidden copies of all correspondence. This is how we would catch the dumbass’s at the Department of State when Diplomatic Service and Information Management directed us to capture or remove communications completely.

In related news, Nellie Ohr is HOT. She is on the right, I think.

Actually, that was first started by 40’s B movie actor Dick Lane, who later did sports broadcasting.

Unlike HRC, Nellie Orr was a private citizen, not working for the government, and not required by FOIA to preserve her government records.

On the point of deleting e-mails, Nellie Orr violated no law.

HRC, OTOH -- should hang for her damage to national security!
