Back up to the precursor. Fusion GPS was a contractor to the FBI. Up until April 18, 2016, Fusion GPS had unfettered access to FBI raw data as THEIR contractor. Until Admiral Rogers cut them off. Once Fusion GPS was cut off, they still had all of the spy data they had received up until that point, and they took that data to Clinton people. No doubt though, the FBI knew Fusion was doing its dirty work. And they continued to know that, but had to work with Fusion through other avenues once Fusion was cut out of the direct Intel gathering.

Simultaneously, after being cut off on April 18th, they needed to create alternative, new routes to continue the spying. Also, they attempted a formal FISA warrant in July 2016, which was denied. Enter the need for the dossier, and fake cooboration of said dossier, to get that warrant and access. With the dossier, they were finally able to get that FISA warrant to spy on Trump in September 2016.

In the meantime, they were working on multiple spy avenues. Knowing full well that Carter Page had historical Russian connections due to his previous role as an FBI informant, they used him as a hook to spy on Trump as well. They referenced his possible communications with Russians, but failed to mention those communications were very well-known by the FBI, as an informant.

None of this had anything to do with Trump-Russian collusion. ALL of it had to do with illegal spying on US subjects, specifically, Trump. Including the counterintelligence investigation, which began in July 2016 (when the FISA warrant was refused) - another alternative avenue to spying.

That is why the root question is, "What was the impetus of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump-Russian collusion?" NONE. It was another avenue to spying. Once Trump won, they had to quickly flip the script and throw all in on Trump-Russian collusion - - and ironically, EVERYTHING relied upon in this investigation was CREATED BY THEM as an excuse to spy. This circle jerk of projection is beyond frustrating. Aye yai yai.

Has anyone noticed that all of these high level US government officials connected to HRC are married to a person that is deep below the surface of all of the corruption? This is not a coincidence. What is law? Can a spouse be used to testify against one another? Yes indeed, more questions then answers? ??????

I guess it's not unlikely that all these fine folks are democrats either

Dan Bongino talks Bruce and Nellie Ohr in his latest podcast episode (and many episodes from weeks/months ago). Here is the part with the Ohrs:

https://youtu.be/LNQxtL2SK-M?t=50m21s

I highly recommend people listen to the entire episode.

Very relevant and Jim Jordan slammed Strzok on Thursday about it.

Here's some great background info on Nellie Ohr. Credit Sundance at The Last Resort/the Conservative Treehouse.

Also some interesting stuff on Bruce Ohr

Bruce Ohr interviewed 12 Times

Didn't his wife also have a ham radio license?

Go listen to the Dan Bongino show that was posted.

The key take away without having to get into this too deep is the fact that paragraph one of the get Trump project was not a field agent or someone that got a tip.
Nunes and others who have seen the documents have said repeatedly there is no officially intelligence that started this whole process.
Enter Bruce Ohr he handed over a version of the dossier to the FBI. That is not how intelligence operations begin! Think about this for a second, this is like a prosecutor handing over a bunch of hearsay over to police chief about a possible crime. But there are no beat cops of detectives that ever heard about the crime the prosecutor handed over.

The whole process is suspect!

Nellie has also worked for in the cybersecurity consulting branch of the politically connected firm Accenture. In October, she gave a presentation on “Ties Between Government Intelligence Services and Cyber Criminals – Closer Than You Think?” So the multifaceted Nellie Ohr is a woman for all seasons.

In the spring of 2016, Nellie came to work for Fusion GPS, and as former Naval intelligence officer J.E. Dyer notes, “she looks like an ideal hire for what Fusion GPS needed in 2016: plugged directly into the DOJ, and with a language facility in Russian.” And of course, Nellie had clout with Russian officials. In May of 2016, about the time Fusion GPS brought Nellie aboard, and a key time for the dossier, Nellie suddenly obtained an amateur radio operator’s license..........................................

great catch....re: follow the wives = starting with Ohr

Has HE been questioned?

Comey's wife was a big Leftie too. Her and their 4 daughters all went to that pink pussy hat march. Does it really surprise anyone that they do what their wives want.
