This is a hard and detailed look at some of the NY Times and Washington Post reporting on Trump-Russia. To say that reporting does not hold up well is an understatement. This is a catalog of bad journalism, most of it still uncorrected. https://t.co/MalKfyg84g

Yeah, it is amazing how many times she and her cronies have cried "Russia" against their opponents and everybody still goes for it every time they do it. The one group that has solid bulletproof evidence of Russian collusion against them is the Clinton Foundation, but somehow everybody in the media always believes them when they accuse somebody else of working for Russia.MouthBQ98 said:
So the "legit" part of the Russia investigation was based on…..
The also fraudulent Alfa bank allegations?
The Hillary campaign dropping other hints at collusion separately from the dossier, because they had a history of doing this to opponents?
Other fraudulent DNC operative sources like MS Chalupa?

Also, LOL at politico quietly noting they can't release grand jury information due to 'legal restrictions.' Yeah, there are those pesky legal limits.
These guys had 3 years to smear Trump with anything they could cook up, an open secret mission, a vindictive FBI, and came up with 'well, some fake russian front companies were indicted, until they showed up in court and we moved to dismiss the charges.' Pathetic to dream about revisiting this as some sort of future smear heading toward 2022-2024. Weisman's book should have been 1 page; 'Outside my purview."

In defense, FGPS lawyers claim they were unaware of Joffe's relevance to the case.
Also states Rodney Joffe was "working at Perkins Coie's direction." And had privilege.
So how long before we find out that Mueller was in on it from the beginning? These little isolated circles keep intersecting and it is clear now that he and his people knew almost from the very start that the whole thing was BS. The only reason to keep going as long as he did was to make sure the dems carried the midterms and to see to it that Trump spent most of the time in office under a cloud of suspicion. If they had found anything at all of value to them during all their time and effort spying on Trump, it would have come out in one of the impeachment efforts. The fact that it didn't says more than their report. Trumps tax returns are the same way...we heard all this squawking about them...but now that they have them...nothing. If there was anything in those tax returns to use against Trump, it would have leaked by now and been a front page story.sicandtiredTXN said:
Is it just coincidental that Rodney Joffe a known expert in detecting malware and holder of 10 patents in his field. who has a really cozy relationship with the FBI so cozy that he was the first civilian to be awarded the FBI Director's Award for Cybersecurity, by Bob Mueller.
Now we find out that he was working with Perkin Coie during the time this Dossier garbage appears, through Fusion GPS, who's funding was coming from Hillary Clinton via Perkins Coie, and now since Durham is starting to trot out indictments that hit very close to home, since sussman worked for Perkins Coie, suddenly FGPS remembers files it has from Joffe that it didn't turn over under discovery in the Fridman v. Buzzfeed case.
The water is boiling and the crabs are trying to crawl out of the pot.
Quote:
The origin of the Michael Cohen in Prague is even more convoluted. However, that story connects to the recently highlighted connection between Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann and Rodney Joffe. While working for Perkins Coie, Sussmann also represented Rodney Joffe, a cybersecurity expert referred to in Durham's indictment as "Tech Executive-1." In 2016, Joffe, who has not been previously identified, worked with researchers to collect internet data about the Trump Organization that Sussmann took to the FBI. {Go Deep} You'll see where Joffe surfaces toward the end.
Quote:
In October of 2018 Mrs. Nellie Ohr was questioned by a House committee about her involvement with Fusion-GPS while working as a paid contract agent for the firm. Additionally, she was questioned on: her relationship with the dossier origination; her contacts with Christopher Steele; her role and responsibility within Fusion as it related to the Trump project; and the nature of the communication between herself and the participating players inside and outside of government.
Mrs Ohr invoked spousal privilege to protect any communication between herself and her husband.
We now know that in 2016 a cybersecurity expert named Rodney Joffe was under contract with Perkins Coie and collaborating with researchers to collect internet data about the Trump Organization that Clinton Lawyer Michael Sussmann took to the FBI.
So we know the FBI was getting research information from Nellie Ohr via Chris Steele, and from Rodney Joffe via Michael Sussmann.
What do Nellie and Rodney have in common? They are both HAM Radio operators. What a coincidence.
Quote:
There is every indication the Michael Cohen visiting Prague story originated from Nellie's research and was passed along to Chris Steele becoming a point in his dossier. An unfortunately named art dealer from New York was likely mistaken for President Trump's lawyer.
Former Senate Intelligence Committee lead staffer Dan Jones was working with Glenn Simpson at Fusion-GPS. Fusion-GPS contracted with Nellie Ohr in "late 2015". This is the exact same time when thousands of unauthorized "contractor searches" were taking place within the NSA/FBI database. This is where the Ham radio comes in handy to receive, share and discuss information from database extraction.
Nellie Ohr then sends research outcomes to Chris Steele for the dossier assembly; and the dossier is then laundered back to Bruce Ohr and FBI for use in their operation against the Trump campaign. Meanwhile, Simpson and Jones are leaking to the media who are writing articles. Nellie then captures those articles to validate material in the dossier; puts the citations on a thumb-drive and gives it to Bruce. Again, it's the same damn origin.
Chris Steele is not defending his lies, he is defending the mistaken research of Nellie Ohr.
For obvious reasons, Chris Steele cannot reveal where he got both points of erroneous information without exposing himself to the legal ramifications that accompany a group of political operatives successfully weaponizing the FBI against a U.S. presidential candidate. This is not conspiracy theory, this is a factual conspiracy.
If I, a pedestrian frustrated citizen tracking a few blogs/amateur media sites, could put all of this together a few years ago, I'd like to think our geniuses running the Durham investigation etc. might have figured it all out by now, but I hold out no hope they want to/would admit to it if they did.Quote:
That brings us to Nellie Ohr, holder of amateur radio call sign KM4UDZ. Ohr graduated from Harvard University in 1983 with a degree in history and Russian literature. She studied in the Soviet Union in 1989 and obtained a PhD in Russian history in 1990.
For those of you who may be tempted to read her 400-plus page PhD thesis, here's a spoiler alert: in murdering untold millions, Joseph Stalin may have engaged in some "excesses" which, in her words, "sometimes represented desperate measures taken by a government that had little real control over the country." Translated into simple English, she meant, "Hey, cut the guy some slack. Creating a proletarian paradise can be tough and anybody can get carried away."
She is said to be fluent in the Russian language and an expert on cybersecurity. Her husband is Bruce Ohr, the former number four official in President Obama's Justice Department.
According to a sworn court filing by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, she was hired by that firm to conduct opposition research on behalf of the Clinton campaign against candidate Donald Trump. In his statement, Simpson acknowledged bank records reflect that Fusion GPS contracted with her "to help our company with its research and analysis of Mr. Trump."
At the same time, Fusion GPS retained the services of former British spy and FBI informant Christopher Steele to obtain derogatory information from his Russian sources about Trump. The final Fusion GPS product became the now-discredited eponymous Steele dossier, which James Comey's FBI and Obama's DOJ used to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to spy on a Trump campaign member.
Who Are Nellie and Bruce Ohr?
The so-called Nunes memorandum by the Republican majority on the House Intelligence Committee states Nellie Ohr was "employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump" and added that her husband "later provided the FBI with all of his wife's opposition research." Sen. Lindsey Graham has stated publicly that she "did the research for Mr. Steele."
We now know that, before the House Intelligence Committee, Simpson disclosed that he met personally with Bruce Ohr "at his request, after the November 2016 election to discuss our findings regarding Russia and the election." That committee also learned that during the election campaign, Bruce Ohr met with Steele, the dossier's author.
It has also come out that Bruce Ohr failed to report the source of his wife's income from Fusion GPS on his DOJ ethics disclosure forms. Such disclosure is mandatory, and Ohr's omission raises many questions.
For example, under the law, such an omission could be considered evidence tending to prove his consciousness of guilt. Why would he, in effect, conceal by omission his wife's employment by the firm that produced the meretricious Steele dossier that his own employer, the Obama DOJ, submitted under oath to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for authorization to spy on the Trump campaign and presidency? Was he trying to hide his connections with Fusion GPS? If so, why? And what inference should a jury draw from such concealment?
He is not alone in this regard. What about Nellie Ohr's ham radio license?
Why Did Nellie Ohr Suddenly Become a Ham in 2016?
Ohr is a member of Women in International Security, which describes itself as supporting "research projects and policy engagement initiatives on critical international security issues, including the nexus between gender and security." She has done cybersecurity consulting for Accenture, a politically connected firm, for which she gave a presentation on "Ties Between Government Intelligence Services and Cyber Criminals Closer Than You Think?"
Did she develop an overwhelming middle-aged desire to talk to geeks over the radio?
It is apparent that, between her own professional experience and her marriage to a top DOJ official, she was well aware of the ability of the National Security Agency to intercept and store every communication on the Internet. Did this knowledge have anything to do with her mid-life decision to become a ham radio operator and communicate outside cyberspace?
What Was Happening When Nellie Ohr Got Her License
On May 23, 2016, she received a technician-level amateur radio license. The timing is significant. The presidential campaign was underway and she and her employer, Fusion GPS, were digging for dirt in Russia to use against Trump. Given her cybersecurity knowledge, was Nellie Ohr hoping to use non-cyber short wave communications to hide her participation in that nefarious effort from the NSA?
Recall that, in early 2016, NSA head Admiral Mike Rogers became aware of "ongoing" and "intentional" violations and abuse of FISA surveillance, which he subsequently exposed in testimony before Congress. Thereafter, pressure mounted within the Obama administration to fire him.
