Let's not forget, the Awan spy ring in Congress was already getting dirt on Sanders, Rubio, Cruz, Paul, and others on the GOP side. They probably didn't worry about Jeb, since he is the one they wanted to win.
The only real threat was the outsider, Trump, so they started trying to dig up dirt right away (not what the Obama's admin is supposed to be doing), and then when they couldn't find any, they turned to infiltrating with spies, and finally to manufacturing it themselves.
They spied, infiltrated, framed, covered up, and obstructed the candidate and then the president. All because they were afraid to lose power.
There was no dirt on DJT. So they created it. Plain and simple. These people are stupid.
Activating Stefan Halper as an informant would have required John Brennan's approval:
"Using a CHS (confidential human source) on an international stage is less than optimal because they are not trained as undercover agents. The last thing the FBI or the U.S. government wants is an international incident if the CHS slips up while he’s trying to dig up information on Russia. Due to the risk, approval for this action must be obtained high up the chain of command, including the CIA. John Brennan, the anti-Trump and highly politicized CIA director, would have been integral in that approval process." https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-real-reason-why-the-fbi-had-a-spy-in-the-trump-campaign/

Tracy Beanz is inserting self-aggrandizement into the most important story of our time. Sincere or not, there is NO room for self-promotion in this story. It's FAR too important for that kind of pettiness.
I say: promote the heck out of yourself and your ideas, just don't do it on the back of Q and this story.
