The Democracy Integrity Project' (TDIP), is a multimillion-dollar stealth organization launched in 2017 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.

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. FISA applicantions would cite published news reports that were leaked to the news media to gain credibility.

TDIP is run by Daniel J. Jones, who is a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and is on the staff of California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein. TDIP has been used as a backup plan to impeach President Trump if the Mueller investigation report fails to expose any wrongdoing. TDIP is funded by George Soros, Rob Reiner, 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."

"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.
