Nellie and Bruce Ohr
In December 2017 the head of opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted in a court filing that his firm paid Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, to help dig up damaging information on then-candidate Donald Trump.
The connections between Nellie Ohr and the ‘Spygate’ scandal were hidden at a distance for months.
As noted previously at TGP, Nellie Ohr is a Communist sympathizer connected to Russia as well as a corrupt Never-Trumper.
Author Diana West at the American Spectator posted an article on Nellie Ohr last year. Nellie Ohr is “the “dossier” spying scandal’s woman in the middle.”
To one side of Ohr, there is the Fusion GPS team, including fellow contractor Christopher Steele. To the other, there is husband Bruce Ohr, who, until his “dossier”-related demotion, was No. 4 man at the Department of Justice, and a key contact there for Steele.
What’s more revealing about Nellie Ohr is the men in her life are protecting her involvement in the Russia scandal:
Notably, the “dossier” men in her life have tried to shield Ohr from public scrutiny, even at professional risk. Her husband, as the Daily Caller News Foundation reports, failed to disclose his wife’s employment with Fusion GPS and seek the appropriate conflict-of-interest waiver, which may have been an important factor in his demotion from associate deputy attorney general late last year.
Under Senate and House questioning, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson consistently failed to disclose Nellie Ohr’s existence as one of his firm’s paid Russian experts, let alone that he hired her for the red-hot DNC/Clinton campaign Trump-Russia project.
Even Christopher Steele may have tried to keep Nellie Ohr “under cover.” Steele, put forth as the “dossier” author ever since its January 2017 publication in BuzzFeed, does not appear to have let on to his many media and political contacts that he had “dossier”-assistance from at least two fellow Fusion GPS Russian experts, Nellie Ohr and Edward Baumgartner. Baumgartner, interestingly, was a Russian history major at Vassar in the 1990s when Nellie Ohr taught Russian history there.
It appears that the men in Nellie’s life did all they could to prevent Nellie Ohr from being outed for being involved in the dossier because she also has links to the CIA and therefore to John Brennan.
Now this…
New evidence suggests Nellie Ohr was working for the CIA and Fusion GPS when she passed on the junk Trump-Russia dossier and information on the Trump Children to the DOJ-FBI.

2) No-one spends that much time gathering, formatting and distributing that much information for free. She had/has to be a government contracted employee for the DOJ. [At least she was in 2015 and 2016] pic.twitter.com/uc7GVGKwGC

The latest FOIA requests indicate Nellie Ohr was working for the DOJ in 2015-2016.
4.) We already knew Nellie Ohr worked for the CIA as an open source analyst in years past (see below), together with Bruce and Fusion's Glenn Simpson.
But the latest FOIA documents seem to indicate she was working for the DOJ-NSD in 2015 and 2016. pic.twitter.com/6m0KfPILMT

This means Nellie Ohr was working for Fusion GPS AND the DOJ at the same time.
6) And after Fusion GPS got the $$ contract from Clinton to create the Steele Dossier [April 2017]; which became Nellie's primary assignment at Fusion; was exactly when Nellie got the Ham Radio License. pic.twitter.com/7W6LUE2sp4

This implicates Rod Rosenstein.
8.) Which puts this (from last year) into an entirely new light. [Rosenstein refusing to say when he became aware that Nellie Ohr was working for Fusion GPS]https://t.co/9LvKiHsnhq

In September 2018, Nellie Ohr, wife of twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr, refused to appear for a Congressional deposition that was supposed to be conducted in a closed-door session.
