George Barna's United in Purpose data from churches fell into Russian hands.
The documentary came out this week:
Bob McEwen, listed by Trump today as one of his endorsers, is Executive Director of The Council for National Policy and a paid foreign agent.
He met with a Ukrainian-paying-Manafort at a Prayer Breakfast (The Family @JeffSharlet).
1. Trump should not be associating with registered foreign agents like McEwen.
2. Prayer Breakfast people should not be associated with people like McEwen.
3. Because McEwen is Executive Director of the Council for National Policy, moral people should not be associated with it.
"Although McEwen is not a registered lobbyist, he did sign on as a 'consultant' in a FARA registration filed by the Livingston Group to work on behalf of 'International Technology & Business Consulting LLC,' run by a Ukrainian man named Sergei Krasnitsk."
"FARA records reveal foreign agents and lobbyists on the payroll of Livingston Group, a lobbying firm run by former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.) . . . former Congressman-turned-lobbyist Bob McEwen (R-Ohio) also introduced Tymoshenko to Rudy Giuliani."
"This meeting was with Borys Kolesnikov, a former top deputy to Yanukovych. During Manafort's trial, former business partner Rick Gates reportedly testified that both Akhmetov and Kolesnikov wired money to Manafort's offshore account . . .
…The itinerary also says that a 3rd man would attend the Kolesnikov meeting: Former Rep. Bob McEwen (R-Ohio). McEwen has spent years as a lobbyist, including work as a registered foreign agent. Like Aderholt, McEwen has ties to the Fellowship Foundation."
Yulia Tymoshenko, known as a top liar in Ukraine, was trying to get help from the US.
Livingston, who Bob McEwen worked for, had been pushing for the ouster of ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, since the summer before Tymoshenko met with Giuliani.

"Altogether, their services cost $780,000 a year. That’s more than Tymoshenko has declared owning and much more than she as a lawmaker can legally accept as a gift."
Also "The Livingston Group was hired for $20,000 by...including oligarch Rinat Akhmetov."
