Good post. The article also briefly mentions Nellie Ohr, who may have had previous ties to Baumgartner in addition to being a Soviet sympathizer: "Even Christopher Steele may have tried to keep Nellie Ohr 'under cover.' Steele, put forth as the 'dossier' author ever since its January 2017 publication in BuzzFeed, does not appear to have let on to his many media and political contacts that he had 'dossier'-assistance from at least two fellow Fusion GPS Russian experts, Nellie Ohr and Edward Baumgartner. Baumgartner, interestingly, was a Russian history major at Vassar in the 1990s when Nellie Ohr taught Russian history there. . .Nellie Ohr has a paper trail.This paper trail is comprised of a Stanford Ph.D. thesis and a series of academic book reviews, all published between 1990 and 2004 when Nellie Ohr, Harvard Class of 1983, was probably between the ages of 29 and 43. I mention her seasoned age because in the course of my own detailed analysis of Ohr and her writings here, here and here, I discovered something shocking that cannot be put down to or dismissed today as youthful inexperience: Nellie Ohr follows in the academic tradition of 1970s and 1980s 'revisionism.'. ..Did I mention Nellie Ohr’s Ph.D. thesis is titled 'Collective farms and Russian peasant society, 1933-1937: the stabilization of the kolkhoz order”?. .. 'Speaking “revisionist” lingo, Nellie Ohr turns the millions killed by Stalin into “excesses,” which, in Ohr’s words, “sometimes represented desperate measures taken by a government that had little real control over the country.” (Poor Stalin.) She depicts purges as representing 'to some degree a center-periphery conflict in which the "state-building" central government tried to bring headstrong local satraps under control.'. . .: Nellie Ohr: Woman in the Middle

Even Christopher Steele may have tried to keep Nellie Ohr 'under cover.' Steele, put forth as the 'dossier' author ever since its January 2017 publication in BuzzFeed, does not appear to have let on to his many media and political contacts that he had 'dossier'-assistance from at least two fellow Fusion GPS Russian experts, Nellie Ohr and Edward Baumgartner.

Good info on Nellie Ohr and Baumgartner. Nellie applied for a ham radio license not long after being employed by Fusion GPS. No doubt she used it to communicate with Steele and others knowing that NSA does not usually monitor such communications. IMO Nellie Ohr was not only a conduit to furnish information to the FBI and DOJ, I believe she was supplying FBI information to Steele using whatever was in Trump's FBI file, which must have existed for at least five years when he began his birther attacks against Obama in 2011.
