Fusion GPS researcher (Ohr) admits she would turn down a request to do oppo research on Hillary
Washington Times ^ | 3/30/19 | Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 03/31/2019 9:39:56 AM PDT by Libloather

A key anti-Trump researcher for dossier orchestrator Fusion GPS told Congress she would shy away from conducting similar Russia research into Hillary Clinton, according to an interview transcript.

“Because I favored Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate,” Nellie Ohr testified in October before a special House Judiciary-Oversight task force.

Ms. Ohr is the wife of Bruce Ohr, a former associate deputy attorney general. He turned out to be the messenger to the FBI for ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier, and Fusion, which paid Mr. Steele with money from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

“I would probably have been less comfortable doing opposition research that would have gone against Hillary Clinton,” said Ms. Ohr, a Harvard- and Stanford-educated Russian historian.

How does she know that a dirt nap would be 'less comfortable'?

“Because I favored Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate,”

She wasn’t afraid. She was infatuated.

Fusion ran the same info against McCain in 2007. It didn’t get off the ground.

Well, to be fair, technically it wouldn’t be oppo research since she already knows all the dirt on Hitlery Rosenberg. It would be more like acknowledgement. Or, “Meh. Whatevs”.

Since there was no actual research, I really wish people would quit using the word “research” when talking about the hoax portfolio churned up by the insurrectionists.

I'd be happy to give her a nice soft pillow filled with mulch.

Here is her testimony about the ham radio:

Q Okay. I want to jump — I don’t know if this is jump back or jump ahead. I don’t think this issue has been addressed. Do you have, or are you familiar with, a shortwave radio or a Ham radio?

A I own a Ham radio.

Q And you own it for what purpose?

A Emergency communication in case of a storm, that sort of thing. If the cell towers go out, uh-huh.

Q How long have you had a Ham radio?

A Well, I bought it shortly after I got my Ham license and I got — yeah, I — I — I am guessing it is 2015, but I don’t remember exactly. It was — you know, in 2014, I was underemployed, and I had some time, and I took a citizens emergency — community emergency response team training. And, you know, it was just something sponsored by the DHS and the local fire department, you know, taught these courses and then they said, hey, if you are going to be helping with community response in case of an emergency, why don’t we have — you know, some people take Ham radio lessons in case the communications towers go out. And so I took the Ham radio class. I passed the test.

Q That is a difficult test, isn’t it or —

A Sixteen questions, something like that. I squeaked past it.

Q And are there different levels of licensure?

A There are. I was the lowest level.

Q Do you have any desire to reach a higher level for your
purposes.

A No.

Q So your obtaining of a radio, and your taking the class, and your sitting for the exam and ultimately passing and receiving the license, it had nothing to do with your employment at Fusion GPS?

A It was well before.

Q Well before?

A Yeah.

Q And it was — you had time on your hands, something to
do — was this something you were always interested in doing and this is an opportunity that you had to pursue it?

A I saw an ad for the community emergency response training, and I thought, now is a good time for me to do it since I have a little bit of time.

Q Have you ever communicated with anyone in Russia using your Ham radio?

A No.

Mr. Somers. Did you monitor any broadcasts from Russia using the Ham radio?

Ms. Ohr. No.

Good thing she’s not a photographer or Baker. They are apparently not allowed to decline work regardless of personal beliefs.

Thanks. I must admit I’m skeptical.

Oh, I doubt she contacted Russia. More like Steele and co. - perhaps a “media” person here and there.

How can these traitors STILL claim there was no bias? This is a full admission.

I don’t know how paying a Russia-connected spy to FABRICATE stories on a political opponent is “opposition research” I would think that opposition research is trying to find out something about the opponent that is TRUE. How is this not being challenged?

She might be one of the few that would look more beautiful taking a dirt nap than what she looks like now.

[I don’t know how paying a Russia-connected spy to FABRICATE stories on a political opponent is “opposition research”]

I agree. It sounds like treason and sedition (if I’m using the correct terms).

Collusion to overthrow a legally-elected President.
