Wife Of Demoted DOJ Official Bruce Ohr Worked For Fusion GPS During The Campaign
2017-12-12
[Daily Caller] New details are emerging about a Justice Department official who was demoted last week after it was discovered that he met during the presidential campaign with the author of the anti-Trump dossier.

The wife of Bruce Ohr, the demoted DOJ official, worked during the campaign for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that commissioned the dossier as part of a project financed by the Clinton campaign and DNC.

Fox News broke the news on Monday. A source familiar with the matter confirmed the discovery to The Daily Caller.

Bruce Ohr held two positions at the Justice Department until last week, when Fox News inquired about his encounters last year with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson.

Steele is the former British spy who wrote the dossier. Simpson is a co-founder of Fusion GPS. Ohr met Steele at some point during the presidential campaign and met Simpson several weeks after the election. He was stripped of his title as deputy assistant attorney general, a job that put him directly under Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is overseeing the Russia investigation.

According to Fox, Ohr’s bosses at the Justice Department were not aware of his meetings with Steele and Simpson.

Ohr still holds his position as director of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

#29  The Morse Code test was dumped back in the early 2000s after the 'no-code' campaign by Bruce Perens.

#27  The entry-level Ham Radio 'Technician' classification does not require the Morse Code test, Besoeker.

It only requires a 35-question written test on basic radio theory, regulations and operating practices.

Skidmark is correct, too. Analog encrypted data streaming would be allowed for that license on certain frequencies, and not generally monitored.

#26  This whole operation seems like chemotherapy. Let the deep state attack and hope its corruption is completely exposed and can be rooted out before it can kill the host.

#25  Connecting the dots and the line leads back to hard core true believer supporters of Hillary Clinton burrowed in to DoJ and the FBI.

Someone is doing a good job of finally tying this all back to Clinton.

Methinks the Democrats and the Mueller investigation will wish they had never heard of the "dossier"

#24  ......Wife of DOJ Deputy Was Fusion GPS Employee, CIA Research Aid, and Applied for HAM Radio License Month After Contracting MI6 Agent Christopher Steele…

What? No one believes in a simple coincidence? How many words per minute could she send ?

#19  Mr. Ohr is also published: EFFECTIVE METHODS TO COMBAT TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESSES (p. 40) and spent some time traveling to the Far East pitching his process for the UN (UNAFEI) as early as 2000.

#18  Seems to me that someone is beginning to collect the dots on all of the stuff surrounding the dossier and who sponsored it and why.

The why part is deeper and more troubling than the who. Because, someone or some group knew pretty early on that Hillary was toxic and would not be elected and decided to find a way to defang and eventually impeach whoever was elected.

More than that, Berserker. I'm beginning to understand she's an asset.

#11  Or neither Grom.
From Easter: "In this way the diffusion of power along informal lines was a precondition of state collapse. From this perspective it can be argued that the Soviet state eventually fell apart along the same lines upon which it had been built six decades earlier"

and Thurston: "it was not necessary to use terror to gain cooperation, nor did the regime exercise rigid and total control over the population; citizens had some room to criticize aspects of the system. Indeed, even if it had intended to impose order through terror, the regime failed miserably: low officials spent more time covering their rears than doing good work, people resisted being promoted to vulnerable positions of responsibility in the first place, and, as Thurston sums it up, "The Terror was not a logical system, and it did not systematically produce desirable behavior from the standpoint of the regime."

I see a glimpse this woman's engagement in the long con strategy built upon analyses of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Perhaps she can help us contact Christopher Steele.

#5  Amateur License - KM4UDZ - Ohr, Nellie H

Interesting micro-fact:
FCC granted Nellie an amateur radio operator's license in May of 2016. Ham radio is of course open channel voice but may also be used to pass an encrypted digital bit stream as analog. As such it is generally unmonitored and OCONUS receivers are not regulated by the FCC.

#4  "Ohr still holds his position as director of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force."

Yeah, HR is now a little over-staffed.

#3  Bruce Ohr held two positions at the Justice Department until last week, when Fox News inquired about his encounters last year with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson.

So if Fox News hadn't said something, the SOB would still be in those positions? Difficult for me to believe no one at DoJ was aware of this fellow's activities, or those of his wife. Could we have a bit more on the Fox News discovery please ?

#2  No one will be shocked until the media has to pick up the story of their beloved scumwhores running interference against our System of Government.

Even then, they will focus on some other petty bullshit.

It is ending the Family discussion with me.


Side with this disgusting leftist whorehouse or side with me.
There will be no compromise or "bi-partisanship" in the end.

Ask yourselves why we hate you

I did not come to unite you.

We become one after the Chaff is cut or pulled by the root.
