Last night, at the end of a busy day, I got a bit sloppy—for which I apologize. Stephen McIntyre—a well known figure on Twitter on a multitude of subjects, including the Russia Hoax—brought this to my attention. I had stated “Nellie Ohr was the real author of most of the Steele “Dossier”,” baldly and without qualification. The Russia Hoax is one of those topics concerning which we sometimes forget what we knew. This was one of those instances. I was distracted by the main point I was concerned with, namely the involvement of the British intelligence services in the Russia Hoax. McIntyre pointed out the deep involvement of
"According to the 306-page report, former Justice Department prosecutor Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr first plowed the ground for the dossier with a series of research reports she wrote for Fusion GPS, the D.C.-based opposition research firm the Clinton campaign commissioned to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia.
Obtained by Durham, her reports zeroed in on Sergei Millian and his connections to Russia and Trump, falsely portraying him as a key intermediary between the Kremlin and the Republican candidate. They would later provide the foundation for the dossier’s many fictions."
Special Counsel John Durham’s report was commissioned reluctantly by the very culprits who committed the crime—and has now been presented to the public two years too late, though well before the next election, confirming much of what we all knew from independent sources in the meantime. Yet, it remains important. Not important as in an alcoholic who admits he is a drunk, but for the obvious reasons—that the extent of this perfidy must be far worse than they are admitting, and it must be thought by the intelligentsia that a good mea culpa now is worth a lot of flagellation later.
As Rascal states below, I agree that ID has made a lucrative living by telling his various and sundry FBI handlers what they want to hear: anything and everything that vilifies Russia. Scary. Someone in a comment recently mentioned Macbeth’s witches: we can add Nellie and Fiona, along with eye of newt, to the mix.

If lies were energy, we could power our nation for the next 200 years on what comes out of D.C.

I can see that.
