The report was titled “Findings of Misconduct by Two Current Senior FBI Officials and One Retired FBI Official While Providing Oversight on an FBI Contract” That means that senior, high level FBI officials were providing oversight of an FBI contractor (cont)

and while under their guidance, they were breaking the rules. It also states the contractor was performing “inherent governmental activities” What is an inherent governmental activity? An inherent governmental activity is an activity that is SO intimate (cont)

in relationship to the government, that contractors shouldn’t be performing it. There are lots of them, but the one I identified that fit with the other criteria was defined as “The direction and control of Intelligence and Counterintelligence operations.”

Crossfire Hurricane was a counterintelligence investigation being run by the FBI and also being investigated by Horowitz at the time this summary report was released. Now that the basics of the summary report are detailed, here is where we put the pieces together With a major hat tip to
@themarketswork
and his excellent reporting on the abuse of the 702 database, lets begin.
************
On April 18, 2016 Rogers shut down all outside contractor access to raw FISA info, specifically outside contractors working for the FBI. This is likely why Rogers ordered the full compliance review- the review that led to the 4/2017 report by the FISC, which identified (cont)
Also from Jeff’s piece, take a look at the timeline:
1. October 15, 2016: Carlin formally left the NSD
2. October 20 2016: Rogers was briefed by the NSA compliance officer on findings from the 702 NSA compliance audit. The audit had uncovered numerous “About” Query violations
***************
3. On October 21, 2016, Rogers shut down all “About Query” activity. He reported his findings to the DOJ (Senate testimony & inferences from Court Ruling). 4. On October 21 2016, the DOJ & FBI seek and receive a Title I FISA probable cause order authorizing electronic (cont)

...surveillance on Carter Page from the FISA Court. At this point, the FISA Court is unaware of the Section 702 violations. So all along, the FBI and their contractor(s) are happily abusing the most sensitive data on US citizens on planet earth, when all of a sudden
Rogers blows the whistle, and HALTS their access to the database, right in the middle of spying on Trump. What do they do? GET A FISA WARRANT on Page. But WHO is the contractor?!?! From what we are given in the summary report, I strongly suspect it is none other than FusionGPS.
*****************
Although not publicly reported to date, it has long been speculated that FusionGPS was, in fact, a government contractor. There was significant legal push back from the firm against

on the House Intelligence Committee, which had subpoenad
FusionGPS argues that HPSCI shouldn’t have such unfettered access to their bank records since they are looking only for payments to Steele.
HPSCI lawyer states, “not so fast” and mentions what they are looking for:
************
Christopher Steele was a paid contractor with FusionGPS, and also a paid confidential informant for the FBI. Nellie Ohr was also an employee of FusionGPS working on the Trump opposition research, and was wife of high ranking DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
******************
We also learned in the testimony of Bruce Ohr that Nellie Ohr handed her husband a thumb drive with her research so that she could provide it to the FBI. We also know that FBI Agent Pientka, who worked closely with disgraced agent Peter Strzok, was responsible for funneling(cont)
*************
The relationship between FusionGPS and Nellie Ohr gives us even more compelling evidence that Fusion GPS was the contractor engaging in this abuse of 702, in that the last sentence states: “Further, the OIG found that the FBI contractor failed to adhere to personal conflict
of interest rules under the FAR”. The details which surround Nellie Ohr in regards to her work for Fusion, as well as providing her husband Bruce Ohr with information, represent a clear personal conflict of interest.

*****************
So while it was difficult to get here, conclusion is as follows: high ranking FBI officials, two of whom were still with the Bureau in Jan 19, were working with a government contractor and allowing them to perform Inherent Governmental Functions, like work on counterintelligence.
******************
The FBI has contractors abusing the 702 database against all rules and regulations. Even though the “official” start of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was July 2016, we have evidence they were “spying” much earlier. Think about this for a moment-
***************
If what I am reporting is correct: FusionGPS was taking money from the FBI and was working on a counterintelligence investigation, while being paid by the Clinton campaign and the DNC, and also paying Steele, who was ALSO working for the FBI as the MAIN SOURCE for THAT investigation, WHILE the contractor had the wife of a high level DOJ official ALSO sending the SAME INFO to her husband, ignoring ethics rules. Here is why I think this is the case. The abuse of the 702 Database explains the Cohen/Prague snafu. Look:
