Crime in progress : ins ide the Steele dossier and the Fusion GPS investigation of Donald Trump by Glenn R. Simpson and Peter Fritsch
 \;
Fusion GPS was founded in 2010 by Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch\, two former report ers at The Wall Street Journal who decided to abandon the struggling news business and use their reporting skills to conduct open-source investigati ons for businesses and law firms&mdash\;and opposition research for politi cal candidates. In the fall of 2015\, they were hired to look into the fin ances of Donald Trump.What began as a march through a mind-boggling trove of lawsuits\, bankruptcies\, and sketchy overseas projects soon took a dar ker turn: The deeper Fusion dug\, the more it began to notice names that S impson and Fritsch had come across during their days covering Russian corr uption&mdash\;and the clearer it became that the focus of Fusion&rsquo\;s research going forward would be Trump&rsquo\;s entanglements with Russia.T o help them make sense of what they were seeing\, Simpson and Fritsch enga ged the services of a former British intelligence agent and Russia expert named Christopher Steele. He would produce a series of memos&mdash\;which collectively became known as the Steele dossier&mdash\;that raised deeply alarming questions about the nature of Trump&rsquo\;s ties to a hostile fo reign power. Those memos made their way to U.S. intelligence agencies\, an d then to President Barack Obama and President-elect Trump. On January 10\ , 2017\, the Steele dossier broke into public view\, and the Trump-Russia story reached escape velocity. At the time\, Fusion GPS was just a ten-per son consulting firm tucked away above a Starbucks near Dupont Circle\, but it would soon be thrust into the center of the biggest news story on the planet&mdash\;a story that would lead to accusations of witch hunts\, a re lentless campaign of persecution by congressional Republicans\, bizarre co nspiracy theories\, lawsuits by Russian oligarchs\, and the Mueller report . In Crime in Progress\, Simpson and Fritsch tell their story for the first time&mdash\;a tale of the high-stakes pursuit of one of the big gest\, most important stories of our time&mdash\;no matter the costs.
