Nellie Ohr sought out Glenn Simpson for the job in 2015, not vice-versa. Fusion GPS and the dossier were part of a sting operation from within the CIA (John Brennan) that was already underway and had been long planned.
This set-up and design would align with what we already know about the CIA using foreign intelligence assets (Five Eyes etc.) overseas to run against Trump campaign people to dirty them up and give the impression needed to initiate the FBI counterintelligence operation known as Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016.
If Nellie Ohr approached Glenn Simpson, and was part of a process of using that cover to plan the corrupt CIA dossier for Christopher Steele, then it makes sense Nellie Ohrs communications with government officials, and the usurping intelligence community, would be a risk; a very serious risk.
This would necessitate some very unusual communication safeguards.
The Ham radio license corresponds to the timeline when the Clinton campaign officially hired Fusion-GPS as for the Trump Dossier research.
And it is immediately after when NSA Director Mike Rogers discovered FISA abuse, and shut down contractor access to the NSA database.
I think we will learn that Steele had little to do with the dossier other than allowing his name to be attached to it, in order to make it appear to be an actual intelligence product.
Nellie Ohr and Glenn Simpson should turn out to be the actual authors.
We still haven’t learned whether or not there was a mole inside the Trump campaign collaborating with the dossier plotters. If so it could be someone who was dirtied up on purpose by contact with a “Russian”.
Did anyone ask her about the Ham radio license ?
To me it’s pretty clear that Bruce Ohr put his wife up to this! When Meadows was pressing her on how she knew which communications from Simpson were for him or herself, she began to obfuscate pretty hard. No way did she just look Simpson up and ask him for a job! That’s the most glaring of her BS!
