Overlap between April when the Clinton campaign started with Fusion GPS, and May when WFB reportedly dropped their research. So, to say that the Clinton campaign “picked up” the WFB research is misleading in more ways than one. When did WFB agree to provide the research they’d contracted to the Clinton campaign, and did money change hands? I can’t imagine they just gave it away, not with the Clinton campaign already paying Fusion GPS for research.
Washington Free Beacon did not provide the info to the Clinton campaign. They hired Fusion GPS to find negative info on President Trump. WFB dropped the interest and the Clinton campaign picked it up/paid for info from Russian GPS.
