[[File:3 hop.PNG|right|500px|thumb|Illustration of how the 3 hop rule works after a FISA warrant is obtained. A typical subject has 50 contacts in their phone or email. The same legal surveillance authority is applied to those 50 contacts, and then to the contacts' contacts. A FISA warrant on the Trump campaign chairman would grant surveillance authority to all 50 state campaign chairmens and their contacts.]]

Initially in December 2015 there were 17 GOP candidates and all needed to be researched. However, when Donald Trump won New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina the field was significantly whittled. Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Carson remained. During the time-frame of December 2015 through April 2016 the [[NSA]]'s [[FISA]] database was being exploited by contractors within the [[intelligence community]] doing unauthorized searches.

Immediately after NSA flags were raised March 9th; the same intelligence agencies began using confidential human sources (CHS’s) to run into the Trump campaign. By activating intelligence assets like [[Joseph Mifsud]] and [[Stefan Halper]] the [[IC]] (CIA, FBI) and system users had now created an authorized way to continue the same political surveillance operations. When Donald Trump hired [[Paul Manafort]] on March 28, 2016, it was a perfect scenario for those doing the surveillance. Manafort was a known entity to the FBI and was previously under investigation. Paul Manafort’s entry into the Trump orbit was perfect for Glenn Simpson to sell his prior research on Manafort as a Trump-Russia collusion script two weeks later.

Fusion GPS was not hired in April 2016 just to research Donald Trump. The Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to give them a plausible justification for already existing surveillance and spy operations. Fusion-GPS gave them that justification and evidence for a FISA warrant with the ''Steele Dossier''. The Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to create a legal albeit ''ex post facto'' justification for the pre-existing surveillance and spy operations.
The ''Steele Dossier'' contained three insurance policy purposes: (1) the cover-story and justification for the pre-existing surveillance operation (protect Obama); and (2) facilitate the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign (assist Clinton); and later (3) continue the operation with a special counsel (protect both). That’s why the FBI small group, which transitioned into the Mueller team, were so strongly committed to and defending the formation of the ''Steele Dossier'' and its dubious content.
An insurance policy would be needed. The ''Steele Dossier'' became the investigative virus the FBI wanted inside the system. To get the virus into official status, they used the FISA application as the delivery method and injected it into [[Carter Page]]. The FBI already knew Carter Page; essentially Carter Page was irrelevant, what they needed was the FISA warrant and the Dossier in the system.
Ultimately that’s why the Steele Dossier was so important; without it, the FBI would not have a tool that Mueller needed to continue the investigation of President Trump. In essence by renewing the FISA application, despite them knowing the underlying dossier was junk, the FBI was keeping the surveillance gateway open for Team Mueller to exploit later on.
