Ohr Memo Confirms Clinton Team Had Early Knowledge Of Ukrainian Black Ledger

The newly released Nellie Ohr documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have already made waves for two major reasons. First, they show the FBI concluded Nellie Ohr lied to Congress and then failed to act on it. Second, they revealed an internal FBI “black hole” filing system designed to bury evidence that contradicted or disproved the Donald Trump-Russia narrative, shielding it not just from the public but from the FBI’s own agents.

Yet there’s more. Buried in the release is also confirmation of another key aspect of how the Russiagate smear unfolded, one that has so far escaped much attention: Clinton campaign operative Ohr appears to have had advance knowledge of the so-called “black ledger” operation by Ukrainian officials.

This operation ultimately led to the political downfall of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016. This information also provides more evidence that it wasn’t Trump who colluded with foreign powers against domestic opponents — it was Democrats.

While the broad outlines of this connection between the Clinton campaign and Ukraine have been known for some time, the newly released documents reveal the FBI was aware of Ohr’s foreknowledge as early as 2019. That’s when a report on her activities was written — but the FBI took no action.

Notably, this was before the first impeachment of President Trump, which was triggered by his inquiries into corruption in Ukraine. This detail confirms the strong likelihood that the Clinton campaign was more directly involved in the Ukrainian effort to smear Trump than was previously acknowledged.

The American public didn’t learn about the ledger until August 15, 2016, when The New York Times ran a front-page story accusing Manafort of receiving off-the-books cash payments from the Party of Regions, the political party of Ukraine’s deposed president, Viktor Yanukovych. But according to Grassley’s release, Nellie Ohr had already tipped off her husband, Bruce Ohr — then a senior DOJ official — along with two prosecutors from the DOJ’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, on May 30, 2016.

Even more striking, that alert came a full day before the first known public mention of the ledger in Ukrainian press. That May 31 article, co-authored by anti-Trump activist Serhiy Leshchenko, mentioned the ledger’s existence but made no reference to Manafort or U.S. politics. In congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr later admitted that Leshchenko was one of her sources at Fusion GPS and had passed along information about Manafort.

Leshchenko has been candid about his motives. Speaking to the Financial Times in 2016, he said his goal in publicizing the ledger was to intervene in the U.S. elections to damage Trump, whom he described as a pro-Russian candidate who could destabilize the global order. Notably, Leshchenko now serves as an advisor within Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle, a disturbing fact considering his history of actively promoting anti-Trump disinformation.

Ohr’s foreknowledge and contact with Leshchenko provide more evidence that the Clinton campaign, through Fusion GPS, was not only behind the fake Steele and Alfa Bank dossiers, but also acted as a conduit between Ukrainian political operatives and U.S. law enforcement. These efforts laundered foreign political propaganda into the DOJ and FBI under the guise of international criminal intelligence.

The ledger’s authenticity has long been in question. Manafort was never charged with receiving the cash payments alleged in the ledger and reported by The New York Times. Shortly after the 2016 election, Ukraine’s former domestic intelligence chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, expressed skepticism, pointing out it was suspicious only one fragment of the ledger had surfaced. “Where is the handwriting analysis?” he asked. “It’s crazy to open an investigation based on this kind of document.”

The orchestration also appears to go back even further. According to former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko, who spoke exclusively to me about the latest Ohr revelations, the operation began with a January 19, 2016 meeting at the White House.

Fauci Must Be Shaken to the Core After Latest Discovery in COVID Investigation: They Found It

FBI Director Kash Patel may have the best piece of evidence yet to prove former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci is responsible for the havoc wreaked during the pandemic.

On Friday, Patel made an appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” where he stated the FBI now has Fauci’s personal devices from President Donald Trump’s first term when the pandemic began.

After stating Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul and Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy have been pursuing the origins of COVID, Patel told host Joe Rogan that several parties along with them always wanted to find information straight from the source.

“They had always been looking for… phones and devices he used while he was Fauci back in Trump one during COVID. And nobody had found it,” Patel said.

“Til two days ago,” he revealed.

Grassley Launches Investigation Into “Prohibited Access” Files at FBI and Special Agent who Illegally Wiped His Laptop While Working For Mueller

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley announced an investigation into the “Prohibited Access” files at the FBI and Special Agent who illegally wiped his laptop while working for then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The FBI and Mueller’s team hid Russiagate documents with a special coding in the FBI’s case management database.

Senior DOJ officials reportedly did not know that FBI agents and members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used a “Prohibited Access” code to make Russian collusion documents invisible.

This way, Mueller’s dirty Democrat lawyers could hide exculpatory evidence. Recall that General Flynn was forced into a ‘guilty plea’ of one count of false statements after partisan prosecutors tricked him and withheld Brady material.

Grassley demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel search for and produce all records related to Mueller and the Biden Crime Family that may currently be hiding in the “Prohibited Access” files.

“As I’m sure you are aware, the impact of parking records in a way that impedes, or in some cases prevents, responsive records from being produced to Congress pursuant to a valid request and during the course of court litigation, whether criminal or civil, is wide-ranging and potentially catastrophic to constitutional requirements,” Grassley wrote to Bondi and Patel. “Indeed, if the FBI has failed to take steps in the past to access records in ‘Restricted’ or ‘Prohibited’ status, the FBI has not fully responded to many years of my oversight requests.”

FBI Exposed: Deep State Plot Against Traditional Catholics

On June 4, 2025, new documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley exposed an alleged FBI plot targeting traditional Catholics, sparking outrage.

War Room reported, “The documents revealed by Chairman Grassley expose the depth and staggering breadth of the dissemination of this field office memo targeting traditional Catholics as radical terrorists.”

Consequently, this revelation in the FBI traditional Catholic plot has sparked outrage.

The 2023 leaked FBI Richmond field office memo, initially dismissed by Chris Wray as a rogue act during a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on Dec. 5, 2023, now appears part of a broader scheme.

Now, the FBI faces scrutiny for targeting peaceful, patriotic groups. Read the full documents released by Senator Grassley.

‘Coming for us’: Expert sounds alarm on CCP’s mission to ‘kill Americans’ after FBI makes shocking arrests

Following news that two Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly smuggling a “dangerous biological pathogen” into the U.S. to study at an American university, Fox News Digital spoke to an expert on China who said the arrests should be a wake-up call to the country.

“I was entirely unsurprised, which is a sad commentary, but it speaks to the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP wants to kill Americans,” Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute focusing on U.S. and China relations, told Fox News Digital after FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests of the two Chinese nationals.

“Look at what they’ve done with smuggling fentanyl precursors into our country to kill Americans, look at the effects of them failing to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Sobolik said. “Dead Americans. The fact that they want to target Americans here within the United States with pathogens and with bioweapons. This is the Chinese Communist Party. This is what they do. They’re in a cold war with the United States. They want to become the most powerful nation in the world and they wanna make the world safe for their tyranny and unsafe for freedom. And they’re coming for us here at home.”

The couple are accused of smuggling a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a “potential agroterrorism weapon,” according to the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors note that the noxious fungus causes “head blight,” a disease of wheat, barley, maize and rice, and “is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.”

FBI thwarts teen’s alleged ‘serious’ mall attack plot involving explosives, gunfire

The FBI and law enforcement officials in Columbia County, Oregon, arrested a teenager late last month who was allegedly planning to carry out a mass shooting involving explosives at a Washington state shopping mall.

In a news release Thursday, the FBI said the teen, whose name was not released, was arrested May 22 by deputies with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

The FBI learned of “detailed and imminent” attack plans after they were reported to the agency just two days before the juvenile’s arrest.

After learning about the alleged planned attack, the FBI said it began working with its partners to identify the mastermind behind the threat. On May 20, the Columbia County teenager was identified as a suspect.

According to the FBI, the teenager shared nihilistic violent extremist ideology, as well as the plans, in online chats.

The teenager was placed under court-authorized surveillance out of caution for the public, and, on May 22, a federal search warrant was executed, leading to the teen’s arrest.

The FBI said the suspect demonstrated the intention and means to carry out a plan that included details like the map of the Three Rivers Mall in Kelso, located more than two hours south of Seattle, and a route to follow.

Deep State Villain John Brennan Suddenly Worried About Politicization of Intel Agencies Under Trump

John Brennan is suddenly worried that the intel agencies might be politicized under President Trump. Funny. He didn’t seem to have that concern during all the years he and others used the deep state to repeatedly attack and smear Trump.

What’s more likely is that Brennan is trying to plant seeds so that he can complain anything that’s found out about him is merely politically motivated.

These people are evil liars.

From the Western Lensman on Twitter/X:

John Brennan, Russiagate Conspirator and Laptop Hoaxer, is worried that the CIA and FBI won’t be “apolitical” under Trump —

— and will no longer attract “principled individuals.”

“It is just so similar to the totalitarian regimes that I saw overseas in terms of making sure that the security services are doing the bidding of the political leader.”

“That’s why I think that the FBI is going to have a tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled approach to government service.”

Are The Latest Spygate Revelations A Big Fat Misdirection?

The Russiagate revelations have been coming fast and furious again. In the past few weeks, we’ve seen two major disclosures, each a bombshell. Even so, they also are less important than what we still don’t know.

First came the long-awaited release of the “Trump-Russia binder,” a trove of intelligence documents that was supposed to have been released on Donald Trump’s last day at the White House in January 2021. The “binder” filled in crucial gaps about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s dirty tricks operation.

Among other things, it detailed how Christopher Steele knowingly lied to the FBI and how the Alfa Bank hoax — one of the most absurd allegations of secret Trump-Putin communications — was laundered through official channels. The binder was provided to The Federalist, which made it publicly available.

Then came an even more stunning release from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office: an internal FBI report confirming that Nellie Ohr — a Clinton-linked operative and the wife of senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr — had lied to Congress. The report also detailed her central role in fusing campaign-generated disinformation with federal law enforcement.

But the real shock wasn’t Ohr’s role. It was the revelation of what might be the FBI’s most corrupt mechanism yet: a black-hole filing system for anything that undermined the Trump-Russia collusion narrative or vindicated Trump and his allies.

This system goes beyond classified documents or restricted access. According to the FBI agent who authored the report exposing Ohr’s lies to Congress, evidence filed into these “prohibited files” doesn’t just get hidden — it gets ghosted. If you search for a keyword, the result will be a false negative, i.e. not a notification indicating insufficient clearance, but a false portrayal that no related records exist.

For Congress, open-records requesters, or even internal investigators, it means total invisibility. Countless people caught up in the Robert Mueller investigation may have had important evidence buried in these black-hole files. At least one Mueller case remains ongoing to this day, an outrageous injustice.

When these black-hole files swallowed exculpatory evidence from the Mueller investigation or incriminating evidence of Ohr’s crimes, it wasn’t just a lapse or oversight. It was a criminal and systemic sabotage of justice.

FBI and Mueller’s Team Hid Russiagate Documents with Special Coding in FBI Case Management Database

The FBI and Mueller’s team hid Russiagate documents with a special coding in the FBI’s case management database.

Senior DOJ officials reportedly did not know that FBI agents and members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used a “Prohibited Access” code to make Russian collusion documents invisible.

This way, Mueller’s dirty Democrat lawyers could hide exculpatory evidence. Recall that General Flynn was forced into a ‘guilty plea’ of one count of false statements after partisan prosecutors tricked him and withheld Brady material.

The Federalist reported:

People familiar with the investigation into the Russia collusion hoax told The Federalist that senior officials did not know the FBI case management database, Sentinel, allowed agents to conceal the existence of evidence. Nor did anyone from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office mention that documents related to the investigation into the Trump campaign had been rendered invisible by use of the “Prohibited Access” coding in Sentinel — even though they knew the Department of Justice was investigating the origins and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

On Monday, a former political appointee at the DOJ expressed surprise that no one from Special Counsel Mueller’s team mentioned the “Prohibited Access” functionality of Sentinel to senior officials. This news follows last week’s release by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, of a recently declassified FBI report that revealed that Special Counsel Mueller’s office used a “Prohibited Access” restriction during the Trump/Russia-collusion investigation.

In 2023, Special Counsel John Durham released his final report concluding the FBI had no verified intel when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump in 2016.

Latest FBI Revelations Show The Mueller Special Counsel Was A Cover-Up, And Much More

The FBI’s electronic case management system, Sentinel, allows agents to hide the existence of relevant investigative reports from other authorized users of the federal database. And during the Russia collusion hoax, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used that functionality to keep potentially relevant documents hidden from other FBI agents investigating whether a Fusion GPS contractor lied to Congress. 

The significance of these two facts cannot be overstated: Now in question is whether the federal government complies with the constitutional mandate in criminal cases to provide defendants all material exculpatory and impeachment evidence as well as its discovery obligations in civil litigation; whether Special Counsel Durham’s office, the inspector general, and agents investigating the members of the Crossfire Hurricane team had access to all relevant information; whether the DOJ and FBI provided congressional oversight committees with requested (or subpoenaed) documents; and whether FOIA responses included all relevant documents to the press and public.

Last Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a recently declassified FBI “Electronic Communication,” or EC, dating from September 2019, which the Iowa Republican maintains “Proves Fusion GPS Contractor Nellie Ohr Lied To Congress About Contributions To Crossfire Hurricane.” That 43-page document, drafted by a FBI Washington Field Office agent, detailed extensive evidence indicating Nellie Ohr lied multiple times during her congressional testimony concerning the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign.

The catalogue of evidence against Nellie Ohr, who is married to Bruce Ohr — one of the key FBI Russia-collusion hoaxers — raises the question of why the DOJ never pursued criminal charges against the Fusion GPS contractor. The EC also suggests that Nellie Ohr’s open-source research may have made its way into the Steele dossier and the fraudulent Alfa Bank materials provided to the FBI.

Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.
