an investigative journalist wrote:Whoever hoped that the GOP candidate would bring real change to Washington must be shoving their feet in their mouths now, because Trump and the smirking pig are shaking hands in front of a tombstone reading “American Democracy 1776-2016,” onto which the pig is kicking mud with its hind legs. To make matters worse, Trump’s standing on a tattered copy of the Constitution, and several sad ghosts with the words “progress,” “diplomacy,” and “Obama’s legacy” on them are flying out of the grave.

Steele was initially hired by FusionGPS, a Washington, DC-based political research firm, to investigate Trump on behalf of unidentified Republicans who wanted to stop Trump's bid for the GOP nomination. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that Steele was initially hired by Jeb Bush, one of Trump's 16 opponents in the 2016 Republican primary. It was not immediately possible to verify the BBC's report.

On a typical day CPJ receives “a handful” of donations, Radsch said.

By mid-morning Monday, the 36-year-old organization had received more than 700 donations totaling more than $60,000.

“We are still processing requests and donations continue to roll in,” she said.

While Streep was still speaking, Radsch and other CPJ staffers took to social media, thanking her and then watching as a string of celebrities chimed in to praise their work, including Mia Farrow, Maria Shriver and Dan Rather.

“It was so great to see her honor the importance of journalism and press freedom from such an important stage,” Radsch said.

The Making of the Bombshell Trump Dossier Dominating the News
By Adam K. Raymond

A day after BuzzFeed offended many members of the media by publishing a secret dossier about Donald Trump, including claims of close ties with Russia and unsanitary escapades with prostitutes, the New York Times is providing the backstory on how that dossier came to be.

In September of 2015, the Times says, a Republican donor with deep pockets and a deep distaste for Trump hired a D.C. investigative firm to compile a report on Trump’s scandals. The firm, Fusion GPS, is led by former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson, who has “written extensively on Russian corporate crime and criminal organizations,” according to his bio on the website for the nonprofit International Assessment and Strategy Center.

As Trump went from primary hopeful to GOP nominee, Fusion GPS continued working on the report — digging through lawsuits, compiling news reports, delving into his business dealings — but with new financiers. Hillary Clinton supporters began footing the bill in hopes of derailing Trump.

Then, the hacking of the DNC in June, believed to be conducted by Russian agents, led to a shake-up. Simpson hired Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent with experience working undercover in Moscow. Steele reached out to some of his old contacts and farmed out other research to native Russian speakers who made phone calls on his behalf. The information they found concerned attempts to compromise Trump and coordination over hacking of the DNC. Even after the election, Steele and Simpson continued their investigating without pay because they were convinced they were doing “very important work,” the Times says.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Steele has gone into hiding, according to The Telegraph. He fled his home outside of London on Wednesday morning, the paper says. He left his cat with a neighbor and went underground, “terrified for his and his family’s safety,” a source told The Telegraph.

The BBC confirms that story, with one minor change. Steele went into hiding after leaving not one, but three cats with his neighbor, BBC News correspondent Paul Wood reports.
