According to sources responding to The Daily Caller, Nellie Ohr and James Baker are refusing to willingly testify to the joint House Oversight and Judiciary committee chaired by Bob Goodlatte.
UPDATE - "The Committee continues to seek the testimony of Nellie Ohr and Jim Baker and will compel their testimony if necessary."
There are strong indications Nellie Ohr may have actually authored a considerable portion of the Steele Dossier for use by the FBI. In prior testimony FusionGPS founder, Glenn Simpson, was less than forthcoming about Nellie Ohr's engagements; and generally misled -direct and by omission- both the Senate and House intelligence committees about Mrs. Ohr.
The Daily Caller is reporting that former FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker is also refusing to cooperate.
Following the December 19, HPSCI hearing, republican committee leadership announced their plan to subpoena James Baker for further questioning.
Two days later, at the Thursday Judiciary and Oversight Committee hearings, James Baker did not accompany Andrew McCabe.
Five months later Mr. Baker resigned from the FBI. Mr. Baker went to work with Benjamin Witts at Lawfare.
