The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP), is a multimillion-dollar stealth organization launched in late January 2017, just days after President Donald Trump's inauguration, that provides daily "research" briefings five days a week, to recognizable Washington journalists, and congressional staff members, to keep the Russia "collusion" narrative alive. In March 2019, it was reported that Paul Sperry had exposed TDIP, which is essentially a "Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily news on Collusion" spreading lies and fake news to keep the "Trump-Russian collusion" false news narrative alive in main stream media reporting.[1][2]

RealClearInvestigations revealed that the organization has been running an elaborate media-influence operation intent on driving and shaping daily coverage of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, including the pushing of stories regarding Trump in the national main stream media, intending to tie the president or his associates to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. TDIP then provides the same "research" to the FBI and congressional investigators and then informs news reporters that "authorities" are investigating those items. Thus, mirroring a strategy federal authorities used to secure FISA warrants that were then used to spy on the Trump presidential campaign, in which, FISA applications would cite published news reports that were leaked to the news media to gain credibility.[1]

TDIP was founded and is run by former Senate Intelligence Committee (SSCI) staffer Daniel J. Jones, who is a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and was on the staff of California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein. Jones registered TDIP as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization and claims it's mission is "non-partisan".[3] Jones and TDIP hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, author of the Steele dossier, to continue anti-Trump research and fake news leaks to mainstream media.[4] TDIP has been and continues to be used as a backup plan to impeach President Donald Trump if the Mueller investigation report failed to expose any wrongdoing.[1]

TDIP is funded by George Soros,[5][6] Rob Reiner,[7] Tom Steyer, with further donations from social media outlets. Reportedly, "Social media titans including the founders of Facebook, Twitter and Google are indirectly funding the project through donations funneled through a Silicon Valley foundation." The nonprofit, 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, Fund for a Better Future (FBF),[8] donated $2,065,000 to TDIP in 2017.[9]

"TDIP Research" daily e-bulletin recipients include the print media New York Times, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Pro Publica, and McClatchy, and broadcast media outlets that include CNN and MSNBC.[10][1]
