the observations to date could be explained if bruce ohr is technically innocent.

by technically innocent i mean at the least in a plausibly deniable way, and at the most, in a stupid way.

plausibly deniable / stupid— bruce ohr is politically naiive. he meets with fusion gps folks but does not recognize the potential impact if the election were to go to trump. to him, they are a consulting company like so many others in DC.

as for nellie ohr, same thing goes. she somehow gets a relatively minor job with fusion gps, and does not realize the potential impact if the election were to go to trump. then she gets bad advice to dabble in ham radio, again not realizing how bad it could look in public.

bruce ohr would not be required to disclose any of this to the fbi because it is not illegal and/or his clearance is not up for renewal.

involvement by fusion gps in the trump dossier seems to be public knowledge from about 1/12/2017 (using fr):

around that time, bruce and nellie ohr can be reasonably expected to become concerned about their careers. bruce ohr either did or did not disclose involvement to his fbi bosses.

let’s say that bruce and nellie ohr have no other realistic job prospects. then their calculus would include the possibility that they both get pushed out, and never work in DC again in their respective professions. in that scenario, they could be tempted to keep quiet, hoping for the best and paying the mortgage or whatever.

the fusion gps documents could have come to light via the buzzfeedlawsuit by Aleksej Gubarev, the CEO of Webzilla and XBT Holdings:
