Fusion GPS was hired by Democrats in 2012 to do opposition research on Mitt Romney. Some of the work that received the most media attention was focused on investigating the marriage records of a large donor to the Romney presidential campaign, Frank VanderSloot.[2][3]
Planned Parenthood[edit]
In August 2015, Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to defensively investigate the veracity of a series of undercover videos released by pro-life activists that they claim showed Planned Parenthood officials agreeing to sell fetal tissues obtained through abortions to medical researchers.[2] Fusion GPS hired video and transcription experts to analyze the videos and summarized the findings in a forensic report.[4] The report concluded that the "unedited" videos posted by activists had been edited. The pro-life activists attributed the gaps to "bathroom breaks and waiting periods."[5]
The report was provided to U.S. congressional leadership as evidence as they were considering funding and other issues related to Planned Parenthood operations. After a grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing, the pro-life activists behind the undercover videos were later arrested and charged with 15 felonies, including unlawfully recording people without their permission and conspiracy to invade privacy.[6]These charges were dropped 6 months later, but on March 28, 2017, Daleiden and Merritt were charged with 15 felonies in the State of California - one for each of the people whom they had filmed without consent, and one for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy. On 21 June 2017, fourteen of these charges were dismissed, with leave to amend, on the grounds that they were legally insufficient.[7]
USA v. Prevezon[edit]
During 2015 and 2016, Fusion GPS was hired by the BakerHostetler law firm which was defending Prevezon from an asset seizure by the U.S. government.[8][9] As part of their litigation support, Fusion GPS investigated Bill Browder, a witness central to the case.[10] During the course of the case, Browder claimed that Fusion GPS had previously been hired to undertake a pro-Russia campaign to aimed at stopping passage of the Magnitsky Act,[11] named after Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer and auditor who died while being held without charges in a Russian government prison after he revealed that the Kremlin had stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from Hermitage Capital Management.
On March 30, 2017, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa called for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into connections between Fusion GPS and Russia, and an inquiry as to whether Fusion GPS was acting as an unregistered foreign agent.[11] The company has denied the claim that they were engaged in lobbying or violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.[9][12]
Trump dossier and Christopher Steele[edit]
In September 2015, Fusion GPS was hired to do opposition research for Republicans who opposed Donald Trump's bid during the Republican primary campaign for the 2016 presidential election. When Trump had emerged as the probable Republican candidate for the 2016 U.S. presidential election in the spring of 2016, Republican donors stopped funding the investigation, and Democratic supporters of Hillary Clinton became Fusion GPS's new clients.[13] In June 2016, after the Democratic National Committee had been hacked and its emails began to be published online, Fusion GPS retained Christopher Steele, a private British corporate intelligence investigator and former MI-6 agent, to research any Russian connections to Trump. Steele issued a series of memos from June to December 2016, which became the document known as the Donald Trump–Russia dossier.[13]
In January 2017, the U.S. intelligence community briefed then-President Barack Obama and ...
Somebody well known is my guess. Soros?
Somebody well known is my guess. Soros?
Soros, Clinton or DNC.....Or all together....
Juan McCain??
Yep. Pretty simple question. I am assuming they did not just donate their services with and with no “deliver to” specified. Who ordered it and who paid for it.
Yep...Add him...

¡Jeb!
BINGO! BOOM!
I just did a corporate name search for Fusion GPS in both Washington DC and Delaware. I used the keyword “Fusion” and this entity does not show up.
Why didn’t McCain report this to the FBI BEFORE the pickup. Since it was dealing with a foreign country, wouldn’t the CIA involved?
Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS
My guess: the Clinton Foundation and/or a “shell” company belonging to George Soros. And the payout could be as high as US$20 million.
Methinks Simpson would give up names if interviewed by the FIB.
Better yet, give me 8 hours with him, and we will solve all the world’s problems.

Yeah. I’m going with McCain, too.
Am sick and tired of these McCain-type GOPs getting all cozy with the enemy. Just watched the love-fest between Bush 43 and Clinton on stage together; made me sick. And we trusted that guy.
Bean LLC d/b/a Fusion GPS
I noticed that Simpson’s MO is to start an LLC as he did in Delaware for SNS Global and then start an SNS Global Investments which I assume is the monetary collection entity to shield their customers. While Fusion GPS is hidden, I did see a few of the Fusion Global Investments, so I assume Simpson was doing the same thing with both entities. That is the entity that needs to be examined closely.
This really smells. As soon as I ran the Fusion search in the Washington DC corporate records office the system locked up and would not restart for another search.
The Fusion Global Investment firm is also registered in New York Sate and Delaware state corporate records.

The situation could have changed since then, but it’s a lead.
