What Was Bruce Ohr Doing?
WSJ ^ | 08/16/2018 | Kimberley A. Strassel

Posted on 08/16/2018 7:21:40 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department have continued to insist they did nothing wrong in their Trump-Russia investigation. This week should finally bring an end to that claim, given the clear evidence of malfeasance via the use of Bruce Ohr.

Mr. Ohr was until last year associate deputy attorney general. He began feeding information to the FBI from dossier author Christopher Steele in late 2016—after the FBI had terminated Mr. Steele as a confidential informant for violating the bureau’s rules. He also collected dirt from Glenn Simpson, cofounder of Fusion GPS, the opposition-research firm that worked for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and employed Mr. Steele. Altogether, the FBI pumped Mr. Ohr for information at least a dozen times, debriefs that remain in classified 302 forms

When Trump won the election, I remember taking it for granted that Obama, Clinton and their entire network were going to do whatever they possibly could to prevent Trump’s presidency as quickly as they could.

It was extremely obvious they were going to do this.

WSJ is worthless with a paywall. Gotta be other sources.

Declassify all of it. NOW.

Let it all fall down. We can rebuild it minus the rampant corruption.

That’s what happens to people who get involved with the Clintons. I hope all of them hang.

Some putz on FR when all self-righteous that I suggested that they might “encrypt” a ham signal. Sheesh, some people don’t actually follow rules.

Fusion gps is nothing more than a CIA cutout, Nellie Ohr worked at the “Farm”, Bruce is the go between.

The President will not do that.

He not only has the cards, he owns the deck.

The media is in an all out push to get rid of him.

Nothing from the socialist party, just the media.

We know that Nellie Ohr was the dossier’s liaison to some other agencies. It’s not unlikely that someone versed in SIGINT told her that she had to use a Ham radio because if the project went south, the first line of investigation would have been to subpoena all of her cell and phone records and analyze them to completely re-construct her operational network.

We know that Nellie Ohr’s husband, Bruce Ohr, was the Department of Justice’s contact for Steele and Fusion GPS and in fact held meetings with both about the dossier. We also know that Ohr headed a task force code named Cassandra and Operation Fast and Furious that among other things utilized cell phone tracking technology to identify money laundering, drugs, and weapon smuggling. So, it makes sense that he was aware of the need for electronic surveillance countermeasures.

But what about tracing her Ham call sign during transmission, wouldn’t that eliminate her radio anonymity?

In theory, yes, but in practice, it can be circumvented. This problem could have been solved with devices like the Harris XG-75P/100P. Encrypted radio transmissions can be used to obscure the identity of the sender/receiver of the message. For example, unencrypted HSMM uses a ping packet containing the station call sign to identify the station, similar to how a 2-meter repeater periodically announces its call sign. But if HSMM is operated using WEP encryption (available as a plug-in), those packets would be obscured and the call sign of the station licensee could not be received by anyone without the keys. So, in addition to the encrypted voice the identity of the sender call signs would also be hidden.
