Like you, I’m going through the HPSCI Memo release FISA and mining some of the more nuanced facts the media will overlook. This one is quite explosive (memo page 3 pdf-pg 4):
That is a stunning aspect. Nellie Ohr was hired by Fusion GPS in/around the end of April, beginning of May, 2016. According to the memo, while employed by the Clinton Campaign (via Fusion) to do opposition research on Donald Trump, Nellie Ohr’s findings were delivered directly to the FBI by her husband Bruce Ohr.
Mrs. Nellie Ohr’s findings were not only delivered to the FBI (likely to Peter Strzok) by her husband, DOJ Offical Bruce Ohr, but her findings were used in the FISA Court application and never revealed to the FISA Court.
As such, the Hillary Clinton campaign was funneling opposition research to the FBI through contracted agents of the campaign (Fusion) and their employees (Nellie Ohr).
The FBI then used the Clinton Opposition Research to supplement their ongoing FISA surveillance of Donald Trump campaign officials.
We suspected that was what was happening. We outlined the strong likelihood that was happening. However, yeah, that’s a big deal to see confirmed.
Review continues…
ps. Where might this go? To the contractor question: Don’t be surprised to discover Nellie Ohr, having a pre-existing relationship with the FBI and CIA, was one of the 2016 contractors pointed out within the admonitions of the FISA Court in 2017.
It bothers me that Sundance does not get credit from Rush, Sean, and others for putting these pieces together.
Those people are acting like they broke this story.
The information in the “memo” was predicted here first.

2. The source for the info about Carter Page was fired nine days after obtaining the warrant for truthfulness issues.
3. Carter Page didn’t provide any material support to the Trump campaign and wasn’t even paid.
4. The FBI lied on the FISA application in order to obtain the warrant.
5. After firing Steele for truthfulness issues, the FBI continued to use the dossier to continue to get extensions on the warrant, without disclosing to the FISA court Steele’s veracity issues.
6. The FBI keeps wavering as to whether they actually verified the dossier or not, but have yet to provide any evidence of that verification process.

Ohr would only have to present them to Simpson. Ohr was paid $500,000 for her work there while Steele only got about $190,000. Who did most of the work? However, some of the grammar in the writing suggests that RUSSIANS participated. There is an Infowars video out there that highlights some of that “Moose and Squirrel” grammar. It is like Natasha or Boris wrote it in an accent.
Steele was just a front. “Step right up ladies and gentlemen, here is CHRISTOPHER STEELE, ex-British spy, a real James Bond type, to present to you the TRUMP-RUSSIA DOSSIER!!! You know you can believe it when a spy has an accent like Steele’s!”
Other than front, I doubt Steele wrote ANY of it, but hey could not have gotten the FISA warrant without him. Basically, the dossier charges the (then) DEMOCRAT Trump with sharing intel with Putin himself and Putin with blackmail on Trump, all from a BRITISH SPY!”
I can hear the FISA judge experiencing the James Bond theme stuck in his head all day after approving the application.

The memo clearly shows that multiple named officials at the top of the FBI and the DOJ committed federal FELONIES in their failed attempt to prevent Donald Trump from being elected, and also in their failed attempt to fabricate bogus charges against Trump in order to get him impeached and removed from office. And it is obvious that this is just the tip of a Mt Everest sized iceberg. There will be other memos as follow-ons to this one, all supported by unimpeachable evidence of many FELONIES committed by numerous players as they attempted their coup d’état and then the subsequent obstruction of justice as they destroyed evidence of their wrongdoing.
And what does Jeff Sessions have to say about all this? Here is what he said today about what the memo revealed : “No department is perfect.” Seriously?? Really?? This is not just shabby investigating, or well-intentioned mistakes made by the highest officials of the FBI and DOJ. These are willful and intentional FELONIES committed by these officials for the purpose of rigging an election, and then attempting to overthrow a lawfully elected government. And all Sessions can say is “No department is perfect”.
Along with many other Treepers I have been deeply disturbed and mystified as to why Sessions has been MIA for the last year. And I have followed the admonition to hold my tongue as to why he does not seem to be going after the corruption and lawlessness in his own department. And I have been hoping is was all part of a well orchestrated plan to give the criminals in the DOJ and the IC enough rope to hang themselves. But this latest remark brings all my doubts to the fore once again. Is he being blackmailed? Is he a swamp creature after all? Or does he just not have the stomach for what has to be done? As more memos are released and more evidence comes out, it will be apparent that many of the players who need to be prosecuted are long-time acquaintances of Sessions, and perhaps some of those are long-time friendly and cordial acquaintances. And perhaps because of that he is not the right guy for this particularly nasty job that needs to be done.
I sincerely hope and fervently pray that the real strategy is to smoke out those who gave these minions their orders. If successful, such a strategy will almost certainly lead to a number of “high government officials”, very likely to Hillary Clinton and to Obama, and perhaps even to global players such as Soros. If Sessions is playing Inspector Clouseau when he is really Detective Columbo then he is doing a great job of playing his part. I would not mind being fooled for the time being if they are really in the process of catching the big fish. But right now, it is downright discouraging to hear such a mealy mouthed response from the highest law enforcement official in our government.

The he cites Comey’s and companies’ lying, leaking and Dossier involvement as actually making any foundation for Mueller’s team to exist null and void….no crime or wrong doing exists to justify the special counsel and per the law the special counsel goes away.

But after Nixon’s escapades that law was changed, and it was changed again in the 1990s. Today, only Session’s DOJ can do this.

Over the years I have read Sundance columns and words with great enthusiasm. Just a simple and heartfelt thank you to you. So often, great Americans rise to the occasion to support and defend this almost “perfect union” through words and action. To you, Sundance, I say: you are a true patriot!!

I second this. Also Sundance you aid in keeping us sane in a tangled world.

The only thing missing here is whether Isikoff was on Fusion’s payroll, thus by extension, being paid by Crooked. How is this not a criminal conspiracy?

Prospective criminality on two tracks: 1) actively fomenting a sedition; 2) monetizing distortion; promulgating fraud for hire.
It’s more than an issue of free speech or the free voicing of opinions. This is about commerce; journalism as commerce; media content as a product. Lies and distortion as a product; as commerce. The operation of same for hire and conversion of the said monetized distortions and deceptions into revenue as a willful and deliberate business practice to elevate ratings, increase or protect advertising revenue, provoke expanded volume of advertising purchased and protect the pricing of advertising sold. All involved in the commerce of this are employees of a particular corporation and most are political syndicate sycophant union members with apparent colluding political interests. They are not acting as private citizens when monetizing speech and media content. They are acting in their capacity as paid employees conducting the commerce of their work under the supervision of their employer.
If free speech doctrines protect them and thus allow them to monetize deceptive and misleading practices for hire (which also provide a form of unrecorded donation in kind to a political party) then why is other commerce engaged in monetizing false or misleading claims about fact, commercial services, product benefit claims or unreasonable or unconscionable representations are generally illegal when made by employees hired and directed to engage in such commerce by their employer?

So does the memo help to confirm that anyone who was receiving the PDB’s knew, or at least should have known all this was going on?
1st post so be kind.

That is actually an excellent question. No doubt the Obozo knew and was in on the scam, and we have seen evidence that others among the approximately 30 people who were receiving the PDB by the end knew, among them Powers, Rice, Bee, Rhodes.
Not sure that the memo confirms it, but I would guess yes, they ALL knew.

Jay Sekulow guy mentioned on TV about rejected FISA warrant. Then dossier is added to get the approval. They might have hand in creating dossier. House got Andy under oath confirming importance of dossier.
There is something with Judge also. He should have asked lot more questions based on the content in dossier which is like a tabloid. They took part in the script as well.

Clinton campaign pays law firm Perkins Coie to launder payments to Fusion, then Fusion pays Nellie Ohr, who shares info with husband/FBI employee Bruce Ohr, who shares it under the table with FBI employee Peter Strzok. Both Ohrs benefit from Clinton’s money. In short, Clinton is paying FBI to spy on Trump and sic special prosecutor on Trump. Lock her up.
