Declassified Memo Puts Hillary Clinton Back in the Spotlight Over Russian Collusion Hoax [WATCH]

A newly declassified FBI memorandum has raised serious concerns about former Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr’s sworn testimony to Congress, concluding she likely provided false statements regarding her involvement in the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

The document also reveals new details about the Clinton campaign’s coordination with Fusion GPS and the extent to which debunked opposition research influenced the FBI’s now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe.

The memo, released Wednesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), details the FBI’s internal findings on Ohr, who is married to former Justice Department official Bruce Ohr.

Nellie Ohr worked as a researcher for Fusion GPS, the firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee to produce opposition research on Donald Trump.

Fusion GPS later contracted former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, author of the infamous and unverified Steele Dossier.

According to the FBI’s assessment, Nellie Ohr provided “demonstrably false” testimony to congressional investigators in 2018 when she claimed to have no knowledge of Justice Department activities related to the Russia probe.

The declassified memo shows she not only shared Fusion GPS research materials with her DOJ-affiliated husband but also discussed the investigation in her emails.

The memo also references a joint meeting involving Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, and Christopher Steele, suggesting direct interaction between key players in both the Clinton campaign’s research efforts and the FBI’s investigation.

The memo points to textual similarities between Fusion GPS research and content included in official investigative documents used to support surveillance and other steps taken under Crossfire Hurricane.

In a significant revelation, the FBI memo also discusses the existence of a second dossier — referred to by the bureau as the “FSB Report” — which was authored by longtime Clinton associate Cody Shearer and funneled to the FBI through Steele and State Department official Jonathan Winer.

Although this second document was portrayed in the media as corroborative of the Steele Dossier, the FBI ultimately concluded it was “obviously fictitious” and bore characteristics inconsistent with standard intelligence reports.

“Unlike authentic intel/CHS reports, the FSB Report is full of smoking guns and derogatory information sufficient to predicate any investigative interest,” the memo reads.

The memo also states that a deleted copy of the FSB Report was recovered from a thumb drive belonging to Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, reinforcing the FBI’s conclusion that the dissemination of the document was part of a coordinated effort by Fusion GPS, not an independent act by Steele.

The document further reveals that details from the FSB Report matched the research assignments of Nellie Ohr during her tenure at Fusion GPS, leading investigators to believe that much of the information presented to the FBI as independent intelligence had in fact originated from campaign-sponsored opposition research.

“This appears to further establish that Christopher Steele was not running rogue, passing random Cody Shearer writings to the FBI, but that this was a coordinated Fusion GPS effort,” the memo continues.

Chairman Grassley, in a statement released alongside the memo, accused Nellie Ohr of violating federal law.

“Ohr lied to Congress during sworn testimony and, as a result, obstructed ongoing congressional investigations, violating federal statutes 18 U.S.C. §1001 and 18 U.S.C. §1505,” Grassley stated.

While both statutes carry a five-year statute of limitations, legal experts note that the “discovery rule” could extend the timeline for potential prosecution if the government only recently became aware of the false statements.

Each violation carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined to confirm or deny whether any active investigation is underway, citing longstanding policy.

The release of the memo adds further weight to previous findings. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation concluded that it “did not establish” any coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz also criticized the FBI’s reliance on the Steele Dossier in securing surveillance against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Most recently, Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report concluded that “neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” and found that the Steele Dossier’s core claims were never corroborated.
