Gee, I hope the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is going to subpoena the guys at The Washington Free Beacon to testify under oath that they knew absolutely nothing about a Trump dossier

Nellie Ohr of opposition research firm Fusion GPS, employed by the Hillary campaign, and wife of DOJ prosecutor, Bruce Ohr, first authored the Trump Dossier's Millian fictions in April 2016 according to Durham
Nellie Ohr is an ex-CIA contractor.
She wrote her first
Millian report in April 2016, the month before Fusion GPS hired former
British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to put his imprimatur as
a supposed former “spy” and "Russian insider" on the dossier.
"This
report was prepared just ten days after Fusion GPS was retained by
[Clinton campaign law firm] Perkins Coie to conduct opposition research
on Trump,” the Durham Report states, "and prior to Steele being retained
by Fusion GPS."
Durham suggests Nellie Ohr planted the seeds of sourcing for the most explosive allegations leveled by the dossier against Trump, including the oft-cited notion that he and his campaign were engaged in a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” with the Kremlin. The dossier attributed this, falsely, to Millian. Durham found that the Belarusian-American realtor was never a source for the dossier and was simply invented as one, along with the allegations attributed to him.
In fact, Durham says that Millian initially wasn’t even on the radar of Steele and his dossier “collector" Igor Danchenko, a former Brookings Institution analyst who's admitted much of the information he provided Steele was alcohol-lubricated gossip. Millian was called to their attention by Nellie Ohr, who the prosecutor said “implicated" Millian through her own reports. Durham suggests Steele and Danchenko merely followed her leads.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor added, Bruce Ohr, an anti-Trump Democrat, pushed his wife’s reports that cited Millian — 12 in all — onto the Crossfire Hurricane team at FBI headquarters that was investigating Trump and his campaign for possible espionage. Agents used her reports as a source of corroboration for the Steele reports they received in the summer and fall of 2016, even though it was circular reporting. ...
In other words, Steele was not the catalyst behind the dossier’s central claims. Rather, it was Clinton's contractor Fusion GPS -- but more specifically, the wife of a senior DOJ official who worked for Fusion. So the FBI wasn’t really investigating "Crown reporting,” as officials referred to Steele’s dossier, implying it was British intelligence. More accurately, it was investigating information from inside its own department that was laundered through Steele and his dossier.
The Durham report shows that the FBI had the dossier reports in July 2016, two months before the time in September insisted upon by the FBI.
The Ohrs are ground zero for the Trump-Russia-collusion disinformation operation.

Hillary "vast right wing conspiracy" Clinton is still beating that same old, worn out, authoritarian personality drum she bought at a 1950s vintage store in the 1990s
... there is a plot against the country by people who truly want to turn the
clock back. They believe that the progress we’ve made on all kinds of
civil rights and human rights, the cultural changes that have taken
place, are so deeply threatening that they want to stage a coup.
Now, think about it, because that’s truly what is behind Trump and his
enablers and those who invaded and attacked our Capitol. They don’t like
the world we’re living in and they have that in common with, you know,
autocratic leaders from Russia to Turkey to Hungary to Brazil and so
many other places, who are driven by personal power and greed and
corruption but who utilize fears about change to try to get people to
hate one another and feel insecure and, therefore, be easily manipulated
by demagogues and by disinformation.

The projection from the person behind the Steele Dossier is really something. Crackpot, loony-bin level stuff.
