More in this 1986 story on DeBartolo Sr - father & son (just pardoned by Trump) worked side-by-side

"Although he had never been charged with any crime, DeBartolo has been repeatedly investigated by federal authorities for connections to organized crime."

DeBartolo Sr was also a business partner of Paul Bilzerian, a corporate raider convicted of fraud in 1989, and father of instagram star and NRA advocate Dan Bilzerian

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…

NEW FEC RECORDS:

Two days after Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman's arrest, then-Rep. Pete Sessions ("Congressman-1" in the duo's indictment) made two $2,700 charitable donations:

The Waco-based Advocacy Center for Crime Victims & Children and Bryan-based Scotty's House.
When talking about these Lev and Igor's money in the past, Sessions claimed: "What about that money? $2,700 x 2. That was given on a credit card to a website. The day one I learned about it, I gave that $2,700 to a charity in Bryan and a charity in Waco." wacotrib.com/opinion/interv…
That would place "day one" at Oct. 11, 2019, but that doesn't wash.

According to George Kent's testimony, Sessions met with Parnas and Fruman on May 9, 2018, the same day Sessions sent a letter to Pompeo smearing Yovanovitch.

Parnas and Fruman donations came on June 25, 2018.

I rarely make reference to religion here beyond noting the extreme hypocrisy permeating the evangelical Christian movement's support of @realDonaldTrump.

But next month @UMChurch will make a decision with far reaching implications and I feel compelled to comment.

1/
In January 2017 the General Conference of the United Methodist Church appointed a 32 member body called the 'Commission on a Way Forward' to examine the church's official policies regarding the $LGBTQ community.

The Commission studied the issue for a year.

@UMChurch

2/
In March of 2018 they issued their findings. Their report was made public and handed over last year to the Council of Bishops for examination who spent weeks examining and considering its content.

For some background on the Commission:

9 maps show how different #LGBTQ rights are around the world

businessinsider.in/politics/9-map…
#Homosexuality is no longer outlawed in the majority of the world, there's still a long way to go in terms of acceptance and equality for #LGBTQ people.
Religion is an un-ignorable factor in the maps. While the majority of the world has legalized homosexuality, the countries where it is still outlawed are concentrated in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa — areas with majority-Muslim nations.

Anyone peddling the "@JoyAnnReid is a homophobe" nonsense in my mentions will be pointed & laughed at and then promptly blocked.

It's not something I will discuss because it is utterly ridiculous.

The right wing / Russian bots are pushing this hard again.

It's everywhere.

1/
The worst part about all of this is that those pushing this narrative do not care about #LGBTQ Americans or our rights. In fact, most of them are far more guilty of the sins they accuse Reid of than she is.

2/
I've written in the past that Reid's past writings on the topic are irrelevant for a number of reasons, not the least of which because that is not who she is today.

And they know that.
