‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence - POLITICO apple.news/AXoyOqqIlSwqaP…
““We’re not a school; we’re a real estate hedge fund,” said a senior university official with inside knowledge of Liberty’s finances. “We’re not educating; we’re buying real estate every year and taking students’ money to do it.””
“Not previously reported is the fact that, according to a half-dozen high-level Liberty University sources, when Gauger traveled to New York to collect payment from Cohen, he was joined by Trey Falwell, a vice president at Liberty. During that trip, Trey posted a now-deleted...
... photo to Instagram of around $12,000 in cash spread on a hotel bed, raising questions about his knowledge of Gauger’s poll-rigging work. Trey did not respond to requests for comment.”

😎Informant😎

An informant extracted from Russia in 2017 sent secrets to the CIA for decades and was a vital source about Moscow’s 2016 election interference

As American officials began to realize that Russia was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election, the informant
😎Informant2😎

became one of the CIA.’s most important & highly protected assets.

But when intelligence officials revealed the severity of Russia’s election interference with unusual detail later that year, the news media picked up on details about the CIA Kremlin sources.
😎Informant3😎

The move brought to an end the career of one of the CIA’smost important sources.

It also effectively blinded US intel officials to the view from inside RU as they sought clues about Kremlin interference in the 2018 midterm elex & next year’s presidential contest.

‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence

More than two dozen current and former Liberty University officials describe a culture of fear and self-dealing at the largest Christian college in the world.
1/
 politico.com/magazine/story…
Sounds like Trump and family:

Falwell and his wife consolidated power at LU and how Falwell presides over a culture of self-dealing, directing university resources into projects and real estate deals in which his friends and family have stood to make personal financial gains.
Among the previously unreported revelations are Falwell’s decision to hire his son Trey’s company to manage a shopping center owned by LU, Falwell’s advocacy for loans given by LU to his friends, and Falwell’s awarding university contracts to businesses owned by his friends.

Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence - dozens of current and former Liberty University officials describe a culture of fear & self-dealing at the largest Christian college in the world, by @BrandonAmbro
politico.com/magazine/story…
When Jerry Falwell Jr. took over as president in 2007, the school, which is a nonprofit, had listed assets of just over $259 million on its then most recent IRS Form 990; in its filing for fiscal year ending June 2017, its assets surpassed $2.5 billion.
politico.com/magazine/story…
Asset growth at Liberty under Falwell Jr is driven largely by increase in online students (approx 95000), there are concerns about tuition $ funding construction & real estate projects that enrich the Falwells & friends and blur nonprofit & business lines

“When he does stupid stuff, people will mention it to others they consider confidants and not keep it totally secret,” a trusted adviser to Falwell, the school’s president and chancellor, said. “But they won’t rat him out.”

Not for long.
News outlets have reported on business deals by Liberty University benefiting Falwell’s friends. Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen claimed that he had helped Falwell clean up racy “personal” photographs.

For the last several years, I've been reporting on Liberty University and the #Falwell family. During that time, I've connected with many high-ranking Liberty officials (current and former) who have been more than willing to tell me what they know. /1
What they know is that Liberty has changed. That the university started by the late Rev. Falwell is very different than the one run by his Trump-loyalist son. In candid interviews, sources describe how Jerry and Becki have taken the school in a … new direction. /2
In fact, according to sources, Liberty isn't so much a school as a "real estate hedge fund." These sources have turned over countless emails and contracts to back up these allegations, which @POLITICOMag has scrutinized. Some of those allegations are broken in this story. /3
