Revision as of 07:53, April 11, 2018
Nellie Ohr is the wife of former Obama Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. Both Ohr's have been heavily implicated into the Obama administration's FISA abuse scandal to spy on the Trump campaign during the 2016 Presidential election and soft coup attempt to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump.
The Clinton Campaign and DNC hired Fusion GPS to conduct ‘Opposition Research’ against Donald Trump. FEC records show Obama for America also paid $972,000 to the law firm of Perkins Coie, the surrogate intermediary for FusionGPS and Hillary Clinton, beginning in April 2016. Mary Jacoby, wife of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, visited the White House at the same time. FusionGPS then hired Nellie Ohr who specializes in Russian-centric counterintelligence. Nellie Ohr worked for both FusionGPS and CIA.[1]
The Obama FBI had been allowing contractors access to FISA data since 2012, and in July 2015 Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates issued a legal opinion denying the Office of Inspector General oversight of the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). DOJ-NSD is the division in the Justice Department that applies for FISA warrants. The opinion was adopted as DOJ policy a month after Donald Trump declared his candidacy.
In the following months, FBI contractor access (FusionGPS) accelerated illegal FISA searches of upstream and downstream information on American citizens. NSA Dir. Mike Rogers discovered the FBI and it's contractors misuse of the NSA electronic monitoring systems, and ordered a compliances the audit. The audit reported back to Dir. Rogers on the violations of American citizens Fourth Amendment rights, and Dir. Rogers cut off the FBI contractors access.
After being contacted by the Clinton campaign and shut out from access by the FISA Compliance Audit in April 2016, FusionGPS needed a work around for continued access to FISA information. FusionGPS hired Russian expert Nellie Ohr, wife of DOJ Assoc. Dep. Attn. Gen. Bruce Ohr. Nellie could use Bruce’s high level DOJ-NSD access to continue gathering FISA-702 data? Nellie, Bruce and Simpson collaborated on other projects in the past.[2]
Nellie collaborated with former MI6 officer Christopher Steele to write the Steele dossier. In May 2016, Nellie Ohr’s husband Bruce was working with FBI counterintelligence deputy Peter Strzok from inside the DOJ. In late May Nellie Ohr applied for a HAM radio license, a communication tool that would allow Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele to communicate outside normal electronic communication intercepts.[3] 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 and received a preliminary draft of Steele's memo.[4]
Also in June 2016 Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr and DOJ Attorney Lisa Page applied for FISA approval against the Trump campaign, a month before the FBI's Russia investigation began. The initial FISA warrant application was denied.
