After being hired by the Clinton campaign in April 2016 and shut out from access by the FISA Compliance Audit, FusionGPS and the DOJ needed a work around for continued access to FISA information. Russian expert Nellie Ohr was hired. Nellie could use Bruce’s high level DOJ-NSD access to continue gathering FISA-702 data. Nellie and Bruce Ohr and Simpson collaborated on other projects in the past.<ref>[https://t.co/u5HPgJwvWd Expert Working Group Report on International Organized Crime, John T.

Nellie worked with former [[MI6]] officer [[Christopher Steele]] to write the ''[[Steele dossier]]''. By May 2016, Nellie Ohr’s husband Bruce was working with FBI counterintelligence deputy [[Peter Strzok]], and Nellie applied for a HAM radio license which would allow Nellie to communicate with Christopher Steele outside normal NSA electronic communication intercepts.<ref>http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/LicArchive/license.jsp?archive=Y&licKey=12382876</ref> Steele filed his first opposition research report, the infamous 'pee-pee memo', entitled ''Company Intelligence Report'', on June 20, 2016. Days later Peter Strzok of the Obama FBI Counterintelligence  Division met with Steele personally and received a preliminary draft of Steele's memo.<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/lifting-the-steele-curtain-1510274070</ref> Receiving the information from outside the government was intended to give the FBI and DOJ deniability of illegal domestic spying.
