Nellie Ohr's 'Hi Honey' emails to DOJ about Russia collusion should alarm us all
The Hill ^ | 05/01/19 | John Solomon

Posted on 05/01/2019 2:39:36 PM PDT by detective

First came the text messages between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, which gave us a painful glimpse at potential political bias inside America’s most famous crime-fighting bureau.

Now, a series of “Hi Honey” emails from Nellie Ohr to her high-ranking federal prosecutor-husband and his colleagues raise the prospect that Hillary Clinton-funded opposition research was being funneled into the Justice Department during the 2016 election through a back-door marital channel. It's a tale that raises questions of both conflict of interest and possible false testimony.

Ohr has admitted to Congress that, during the 2016 presidential election, she worked for Fusion GPS — the firm hired by Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to perform political opposition research — on a project specifically trying to connect Donald Trump and his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to Russian organized crime.

The memos raise serious questions of a conflict of interest hidden behind a marriage: “The documents show that Nellie Ohr had extraordinary access to the Justice Department. Nellie Ohr may as well as have had a desk at DOJ."

Whatever transpires, it is clear Nellie Ohr was no ordinary spouse during the 2016 election. She was a robust source of Russia information for her husband and his colleagues inside the DOJ, at the same time her employer was trying to smear Trump.

Yes, the FBI was weaponized by obama and no doubt helped by Clinton’s contacts within the deep state, but the real question is and has been; when do they do the perp walk along with all their cohorts in crime?

What I don't understand is how Schumer's threat of 3 January 2017, "Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you" has been ignored, been dropped into the memory hole.

The unmistakable meaning of Schumer's threat is that the intelligence organizations of the United States — and other Western countries — are independent of the rule of law, are unaccountable powers unto themselves.

A Republican leader of national stature who said such a thing would be called upon to explain himself, and could well touch off a vicious round of attacks against the entire intelligence establishment, as happened in the 1970s after Watergate.

And this clearly shows she lied under oath to Congress. When will she be prosecuted?

Two months earlier, in March 2016, Holtyn asked Bruce Ohr for permission for Wheatley and another DOJ prosecutor to speak to Nellie Ohr. “Do you think she would be comfortable with talking to them, and would it present any conflict of interest issues for her or for you?” Holtyn wrote.

This was March 2016, just before Admiral Rogers terminated the access by contractors to the NSA database because of abuse. Was Nellie one of the contractors making use of the NSA database to do research on Hillary's political opponents?

There was a very good column in today's Wall Street Journal explaining the whole business as Russian disinformation--written by someone who appears to know what he is talking about. The Democrats and the media have been playing the role of useful idiots in their eagerness to destroy Trump. The country has been harmed and only Russia has benefited.

If that were the case it would be the 1st election in over a half century that they didn’t meddle in.

Red Badger that’s brilliant. The lovely Miss Nellie as the ham operator. And author of the piece of crap. There is very high possibility and 75% probably. Red Badger great thinking I’m truly impressed. Man it fits.

I have no doubt that Nellie Ohr was one of the contractors given access to the NSA database. It must also be remembered that she was the one who initiated contact with Fusion GPS in November 2015 to get a job researching Trump and Flynn.

2016 was not Obama first rodeo. Romney I believe was a target and so was Ted Cruz. Obama was spying on Angela Merkel. The guy was paranoid far worse then Nixon was supposed to be.

Kerry bragged about his foreign connections when he ran...but refused to name them.

Remember Obama had foreigners walking neighborhoods for him in Ohio and call center in palestine.

And Brennan’s company employees in the following election got caught looking into passport files. Also as I recall there was a case of identity theft where some rats obtained Republican officials’ SS# and ID...

“I have said it before and I’ll say it again:

SHE WROTE THE DOSSIER!
SHE GAVE IT TO STEELE!
IT DID NOT COME FROM RUSSIA!.”

The so called dossier was actually written by several authors. It is in no way an intelligence report. It is a collectin of pages often with poor grammar and easily refuted claims.

Steele was not in Russia when it was compiled.

Clinton operatives Sid Blumenthal and Cody Shearer were involved. Ohr and other Fusion GPS people were too.

I would not call it paranoia. He simply had no concern for the Constitution, separation of powers, or any limit on his power.

He knew the media were behind him, yet he held them in contempt.

He just did what leaders in socialist h*llholes always do: use the intellegence apparatus against their political opponents.
