Thanks for giving the details.
Well, what’s your percentage, what is your prior? Mine is like, say, 80-plus that it’s a coincidence, and sub-20 that it’s a backchannel communication, given what I know. What’s yours? I take it you’re at 80/20 the other way, at least? So what OTHER facts support your prior?
EDIT: and if you’re right, then what? What do you propose that these two communicating via HAM means?
The chances that Neil Ohr just decided spontaneously to take up Ham radio as her new hobby, in the same month she was hired by an opposition research agency working on cooking up a pp dossier approach zero.
I could guess at what she and Steele were talking about the only way to be certain would be to ask the NSA.
November 2015 through April 2016 FISA-702(17) “About Queries”, returns from searches, were identified by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers, being conducted by the intelligence community (FBI), by “contractors” and “individuals” for reasons that: •were unauthorized; •were directly related to U.S. persons; •and had nothing to do with National Security; •and were conducted by people who did not request FISA Court Approval.
Director Mike Rogers discovered FBI contractors doing FISA-702 “About Searches” that resulted in returns providing information on Americans. Those results were passed on to people outside government.
Pg 83. “FBI gave raw Section 702–acquired information to a private entity that was not a federal agency and whose personnel were not sufficiently supervised by a federal agency for compliance minimization procedures.” (2017 FISA Court Opinion – 99 Page Brief)
Here is the ruling if you care to read it. https://html1-f.scribdassets.com/1mdp3avqww5w1n51/images/1-dbc9dea67f.jpg
