| 2017-12-13 |
| [Gateway Pundit] Nellie Ohr, the wife of demoted Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr, who worked at Fusion GPS last year when the firm was working for the Clinton presidential campaign compiling the controversial anti-Trump Russian dossier, is listed as working for the CIA’s Open Source Works department in a 2010 DOJ report. The report lists Nellie and Bruce Ohr as expert participants along with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson. Bruce Ohr met secretly with Simpson last year, as well as dossier author Christopher Steele, according to a Fox News report last week. Fox News’ James Rosen broke the exclusive news on Monday that Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion GPS while her husband held the surreptitious meeting with Fusion GPS last year. A senior Justice Department official demoted last week for concealing his meetings with the men behind the anti-Trump "dossier" had even closer ties to Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for the incendiary document, than have been disclosed, Fox News has confirmed: The official’s wife worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 election. Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr’s duties ‐ including whether she worked on the dossier ‐ remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016." The Fox News report also notes Nellie Ohr "was described as a Russia expert at the Wilson Center, a Washington think tank, when she worked there, briefly, a decade ago. The Center’s website said her project focused on the experiences of Russian farmers during Stalin’s collectivization program and following the invasion of Russia by Nazi forces in 1941. She has also reviewed a number of books about twentieth century Russia, including Reconstructing the State: Personal Networks and Elite Identity in Soviet Russia (2000), by Gerald Easter, a political scientist at Boston College, and Bertrand M. Patenaude’s The Big Show in Bololand: The American Relief Expedition to Soviet Russia in the Famine of 1921 (2002)." A June 2010 report posted by the DOJ entitled, "Expert Working Group Report on InternationalOrganized Crime", lists Nellie Ohr as a participant representing "Open Source Works" Bruce Ohr is listed, right above his wife, as "Chief, Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, Criminal Division, U.S. Department of Justice" Glenn Simpson is listed as, "Senior Fellow International Assessment and Strategy Center". (The Daily Caller reported the think tank apparently cut ties with Simpson earlier this year.) |

| #6 They have a Russian connection and collusion with the phony dossier. They should be hanging Democrats for the phony dossier which is essentially a "October Surprise" by the Dems, courtesy the Russians. |

| #5 Nel Ohr is a Russian expert and writer. She undoubtedly has many Russian contacts. Nellie is undoubtedly short for Natalya, i.e. born in the former Soviet Union. Can the FBI and CIA find a Russian Connection? |

| #1 Skid posted the initial Gateway link yesterday. Gateway ran it again this morning. Running it here again today. The facts that James Rosen and others are uncovering here will likely form the basis of follow-on revelations. To say it's all very difficult to follow is an understatement. Nel Ohr is a Russian expert and writer. She undoubtedly has many Russian contacts. It will be interesting to see if there is a Natalia Veselnitskaya (beltway insider) connection. The Christopher Steele connection should also be very interesting. Lastly, perhaps someone should ask 'if Fusion GPS is just a 'front' for another three letter agency?' |
