Strongly recommend #TheFamilyNetflix doc series, based on book by @JeffSharlet, which reveals 1930s anti-union origin and growth of the secretive Christian org that runs the Nat'l Prayer Breakfast & has influenced presidents & political leaders for decades

@JeffSharlet A side item, #TheFamilyNetflix has cameo of Sam Rohrer, President American Pastors Network, calling Russian Orthodox Church 'the moral leader of the world'

In 2017 Andrey Artemenko did a FARA filing to hire American Pastors Network's Dale Armstrong
@JeffSharlet Artemenko was involved in Ukraine peace plan w/Felix Sater, Manafort, Michael Flynn

Artemenko is linked to Skyway Int'l a company associated w/Vadim Trincher, Anatoly Golubchik, Jacob Gitman - Trincher was arrested for running gambling ring in Trump Tower
@JeffSharlet An article from Oct 2018 by @ZarinaZabrisky that covers many of the same themes in #TheFamilyNetflix - KAVANAUGH, CHRISTIANS, OIL AND GAS

8 Years of Trump Tax Returns Subpoenaed by Manhattan DA - including Trump's personal & corp tax returns as they examine hush money paid to Stormy Daniels

It's a good step, but DA Cy Vance Jr has a history of letting Trumps, Weinstein, others off the hook
nytimes.com/2019/09/16/nyr…
In 2011 a prosecutor under NY County DA Cyrus Vance shocked the judge by arguing on behalf of sex offender Epstein
As noted in thread, Vance didn't pursue charges against Harvey Weinstein or Ivanka & Don Jr (re Trump Soho) - over $270K was contributed to Vance's career by entities associated w/Weinstein including David Boies (who now represents Epstein's accusers)

Fans of #TheFamilyNetflix have been asking why there's not more mainstream media coverage. Director @djessemoss & I've done CNN, MSNBC, PBS. But no question less coverage than 2009, when story was 2 political sex scandals. Sex="news"; real power is too complicated.
@djessemoss So here's a short history of #TheFamily & press (non)coverage... From The Family's POV, its secrecy is not conspiracy but efficiency. "The more invisible you can make yr org," sez #DougCoe, "the more influence it'll have." True; that's why we have lobbying & disclosure laws.
@djessemoss It's also theoretically why we have the Fourth Estate, the press, to hold the powerful accountable. If the press can't comfort the afflicted, as the saying goes, it may, on occasion, afflict the comfortable. Theoretically...

This is an annotation thread for #TheFamily, the new doc series based on my books THE FAMILY & C ST. Context & behind the scenes w/ the most powerful & secretive Christian conservative organization in Washington from more than a decade of reporting. netflix.com/title/80063867
As ep 1 of #TheFamily opens, “First Brother” #DougCoe preaches about Hitler's "covenant," in what looks like a castle: Glen Eyrie. It belongs to The Navigators, a major evangelical ministry w/ which The Family has deep ties; Coe was a protégé of Navs founder Dawson Trotman...
The Navigators, like #TheFamily, were born out of Trotman's deep hatred for FDR's New Deal. He loved hierarchy & revered strength; "love," he taught Coe, means "Obey." That's why Coe's preaching here about Hitler & Mao...

"Internally, it is spoken of primarily as a 'recruiting device' with which to draw 'key men' into smaller prayer cells to 'meet Jesus man to man.'

Practically, the Prayer Breakfast has functioned from the very beginning as an unregistered lobbying festival."

"The Prayer Breakfast isn't the only way the Fellowship has infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government."

"It’s so different than our popular impression of the Christian right, it's different than the image of the sweaty pulpit pounders... Those are mass movements, this is the opposite of that."

J.D. Gordon and Mike Huckabee:

(2015-16) FP Advisor during Huckabee presidential campaign. Gordon endorses Trump 2/16

Remember, Trump is transactional. Press Sec would NOT be Trump's first choice - appearance is paramount to him. Huckabee got rewarded w/his kid in the Press Sec spot, but for what? 🤔

J.D. Gordon and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (lol, they're all in on it):

"Bistro Bis, a swanky French joint on Capitol Hill, is a DC institution that has hosted all sorts of political summits over the years. But the group that piled into the restaurant's Leaders Room on the night of 2/1/17 was among the more unusual."
2/1/17: "For four hours, current and former RUSSIAN OFFICIALS dined w/two Republican Congressmen, a conservative magazine publisher, a longtime GOP consultant and a close friend of top WH strategist Steve Bannon."
