Nellie Hauke Ohr sat in a House interview on October 19, 2018, and walked her employment. Academia first. Then contract work “in support of U.S. Government clients.” Starting in 2000, she said, she did part-time contracting for MITRE, “which in turn had contracts with U.S. Government clients,” “through most of 2008.” Then: “And then starting in 2008, I worked for Open Source Works.” Counsel asked if she had ever worked for a U.S. government agency. She said, “Not directly.” “As an independent contractor.”
Jim Jordan asked whether she worked for the CIA. Her lawyer, Mark Berman, cut in: he did not want her to violate employment agreements. She did not give a CIA rank. She did not give a GS number. This file does not invent one.
What other people wrote is different, and it is labeled. Glenn Simpson’s December 2017 court declaration, as reported by the Daily Caller, described Fusion hiring “a former government official expert in Russian matters.” The 2019 FBI analysis later released by Senator Grassley says public-source material and transcripts identify her as having been employed “for approximately six years as a CIA contract open-source analyst.” That is an FBI writer summarizing open sources and testimony. It is not a CIA biography and not a personnel record this site has seen.
Gateway Pundit (August 2018) and Diana West in The Epoch Times (October 17, 2018, opinion) repeat the Open Source Works / CIA shop line and then ask questions or leap to Brennan. The questions are not answers. The leap is commentary.
