NEW: A story about ANOTHER Ukraine campaign. A letter passed to Mike Pompeo from an evangelical US pastor/lobbyist and dozens of Ukrainian Christian groups in fall 2018 demanded then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch be fired for supporting LGBTQ rights. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Armstrong's a fascinating character. He's preached in Ukraine for ~20 yrs and has sway with senior current and former Ukraine officials, such as @Turchynov and @AvakovArsen, as well as with folks in @StateDept, like ex-@senrobportman aide Tyler Brace. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
Armstrong used those connections to try to get Yovanovitch fired, passing a letter to Brace who then passed it to Pompeo. It demanded Yovanovitch be recalled. Armstrong says he didn't coordinate with Giuliani & Co. but his campaign ran parallel to theirs buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
I must give a well-earned tip of the hat to @kooleksiy, who first pointed out Armstrong's blog post where he boasts about many of his connections and mentions his letter to Pompeo. After that, I tracked down Armstrong in Kyiv and got a hold of the letter.
@kooleksiy Along the way, I remembered it was Armstrong who registered as a foreign agent for lobbying he did on behalf of former Ukrainian MP Andriy Artemenko of Ukraine "peace plan" fame. He was paid $90,000. buzzfeednews.com/article/christ…
