LINKTo lobby for ZTE

Michael Flynn agent forTurkey.
Norm Coleman became a Saudi agent as did his colleagues Trent Lott and John Breaux.

Why is this practice allowed to happen, especially with hostile nations?

They should have always been registered but never had too because the DOJ never enforced the law until the Trump Russia hoax, now everything is a criminal conspiracy in a mad rush to implicate any pone who has ever had anything to do with Trump as a criminal by an means necessary.

As far as the retired lawmakers go this is their payoff for years of selling their vote

So now Turkey, China, and Saudi Arabia are hostile nations?

I swear it was only a few years ago that they were giving tens of millions in cash and signing billion dollar deals with the Clintons, Bidens, and Obamas and nobody said boo.

Sky screamers need to make up their minds.

He has a point you know, anyway what does registering do? These lawmakers have represented every nation in the world over the U.S. citizens for generations.

Pete is being facetious. And he is correct, suddenly we are all worried about foreign influence?

All these foundations set up by politicians so they can "legally" take funding from foreign entities should be absolved, its a blatant way to flaunt taking bribes, while getting them tax free to boot.

It’s just the payoff for the years of voting against the American people, Trump comes along and calls them all out on it and look what happens

If your lobbying clientele includes foreign governments, you have to register the agency. So what? It’s a disclosed agency requirement. It’s a good system that shines light. Light is good.

China is stuffing the pockets of lobbyists all over the Wash DC Swamp and making them filthy rich.

China is working very hard to make sure that NO Outsider Nationalist EVER again sits as POTUS. A Nationalist USA that takes seriously the advancement of US nationalistic interests is a threat to China, and, China is prepared to spend big bucks to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Wasn't one of the first things Trump did when taking office was to pass an EO that people serving in his administration couldn't do this shite?

You conservatives should be fine with them making money lobbying on behalf of the business interests of other countries. Aren't conservatives in favor of free flow of capital and labor?

Cut Norm some slack. He is fighting cancer and needs all the coin he can get.

I knew something was up when Joe's FB page changed his favorite snack from matzo ball soup to shrimp rolls.

Livingston was a fraud behind the scenes. He voted so many times to increase spending on the IMF with the excuse, "we had to do it to stabilize". Remember Lieberman who many said was a reasonable dem voted and walked in lock step with Al Core. Remember?
