3. Jeb Bush had spent $130 million on his failed campaign.

"When Jeb Bush formally entered the presidential campaign in June, there was more money behind him than every other Republican candidate combined"

The New York Times sums it up nicely:
nytimes.com/2016/02/23/us/…

4. February 20, 2016 was a PIVOTAL DATE of the whole 2016 Presidential race.

from the New York Times article (dated Feb 22, 2016):
.

5. from the New York Times article - IMPORTANT:
.

6. Remember: at this time (Feb 20, 2016) Fusion GPS was still spying on Trump, but it was Jeb Bush campaign that had paid the bill until this time.

"beautiful" Nellie Ohr (DOJ Bruce Ohr's wife) was still working at Fusion GPS.

7. given Jeb Bush poor performance, by February 20, 2016 the #DeepState was desperate to find another Republican candidate to counter the rising success of Donald Trump.

8. Super Tuesday - March 1st, 2016:

Trump wins in Georgia, Massachusetts, Virginia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Vermont, Arkansas

Trump – 332 delegates
Cruz – 230
Rubio – 113

note:
1237 delegates are needed to win the Republican Party nomination.

9. March 15, 2016

Trump wins in Florida, Illinois, North Carolina.

Trump – 1448 delegates
Cruz – 551
Rubio – 167

10. March 15, 2016 - Marco Rubio drops out.

from March 15, 2016 only Trump and Cruz remain in the race,
but it's a formality.

Trump has already clinched the Nomination.
1237 delegates are needed to win.

March 15, 2016 is a crucial date for everything that follows.

March 15, 2016: here is where STAGE #2
of the Spy Operation against Trump begins.

12. Trump is the Republican Nominee for the Presidential race.

Hillary Clinton still has to fight Bernie Sanders, but she knows that the #DeepState and the DNC will help her neutralize Sanders and win the nomination for the Democratic Party.

13. Fusion GPS finds itself with a hoard of information gathered on Donald Trump, but whom can they sell it to?

the Republicans are out of the game.

only the Hillary Clinton campaign can be interested in it...

14. Thus, in late March 2016 Fusion GPS CEO, Glenn Simpson, approaches the Clinton campaign, trying to sell his goods.

Perhaps, also Nellie Ohr helps, her husband at the DOJ Bruce Ohr,
and FBI deputy Director Andrew McCabe too.

15. remember that Andrew McCabe's wife got a $700,000 gift
from the Clinton campaign...

16. in April 2016 the Hillary Clinton campaign hires Fusion GPS
to spy on Trump.

Glenn Simpson is a happy man.
Lots of money flow into his pockets, funneled through the Perkins Coie law firm.

17. from the Washington Post:

"in April 2016 (law firm) Perkins Coie retained Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC"

18. WaPo: "Before that agreement, Fusion GPS research into Trump was funded by a Republican client during the GOP primary"

That we know being the Jeb Bush campaign and the Washington Free Beacon.

please notice the mellow wording: "research into Trump" not "Spying on Trump"...

more to come [To be continued...]
with some "surprise"...
