The family secret Bruce Ohr told Rod Rosenstein about Russia case
The Hill ^ | 2/20/2019 | john Solomon

Posted on 02/20/2019 8:32:24 AM PST by bitt

Who would have thought that, this deep into the Russia collusion probe, we'd be learning about yet another dossier connected to Hillary Clinton? And, as it turns out, it was sort of a family secret.

By his own account, senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr played an essential — and unorthodox — role, carrying politically tainted allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion to the FBI during the 2016 election.

First, it was unverified intelligence starting in July 2016 from Trump-hating former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous Russia dossier.

Next, it was sketchy intelligence starting in August 2016 from Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, an opposition-research contractor who hired Steele and was paid to help Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign develop political dirt on Trump.

And now we learn, from testimony that is still being kept secret from the public, that Ohr admitted to Congress last year that he also took Russia information that his wife, Nellie, assembled against Trump on a computer drive and delivered that to the FBI in 2016 — a revelation that has raised fresh concerns in Congress about a possible conflict of interest.

So .... why did Nellie Ohr have a ham radio license?

Did Fusion GPS’s Anti-Trump Researcher Avoid Surveillance With A Ham Radio? [March 2, 2018 article]
http://thefederalist.com/2018/03/02/fusion-gpss-anti-trump-researcher-avoid-surveillance-ham-radio-license/

It seems Nellie Ohr was well aware the National Security Agency can intercept and store every communication on the Internet. Did that affect her decision to become a ham radio operator?

Was she under the delusion that the NSA lacks the ability to monitor and record transmissions on HAM frequencies? Hope so. Because she screwed up.

Short answer is yes.

Or maybe she wanted to chat with Priscilla Presley, who is suppose to be a ham radio aficionado.

Notice how every bit of this law breaking, Russian collusion and deceit always finds it way back to Hillary and BO? Those 2 are so corrupt, I hope that get everything they deserve, which would be enough to keep both of them in prison for the rest of their lives.

Until the traitors are hanged, this is just another ho-hum revelation. NOBODY in the Fake Congress is interested in holding any of the traitors accountable.

We are watching a repeat of the Roman Empire - bread and circuses, debased currency, Praetorian Guards, etc. Soon the barbarians will be at the gates.

Which is why we have auto ship for our popcorn supply! This calls for even more popcorn! We are getting a really big auto ship order with Costco's Home Delivery!

Popcorn sales will be epic with the democrat clown car primary... This calls for more popcorn! We will be getting a really big auto ship order with Costco's Home Delivery or Amazon Prime.

And Nellie was CIA until 2015. Working for...

Brennan.

He’s behind much, much more.

And Nellie was one of the “contractors” allowed to access the NSA databases while employed by Fusion GPS. See tagline.
