    That’s not what lobbyists do. It is illegal for a lobbyist to represent a foreign government without registering to do so. It is illegal to help a foreign national, entity or government make campaign contributions, whether in cash or in kind. Etc. Etc.https://twitter.com/nashfacer/status/1031314427340091392 …

        Yes. But legality and effective enforcement of said legality depend on regulations enforcement and wielding the power of the law. Fucking Saudi lobbyists are littering DC right now, as they did under obama, and no one cares!

        Agreed. This has long been a problem that the Justice Department is now looking at. The way FARA works - with self-reporting and no way for DOJ to police it unless someone is clearly in violation - is suboptimal for achieving full compliance.

        Well complaining about it is suboptimal for your implied goal of not allowing collusion. And suboptimal in this case could be substituted with "a smokescreen against" and it would be more accurate and less bootlicky

        This is the justice department that brought cases against chase while opposing council had a corner office for Eric holder reserved during his tenure in the executive.

        I'm just saying. Ur smart. Hopefully you've got a nest egg. Go work for @theintercept or @jacobin or something because conversion is the most salient tool. Before it's too late!😘

        TrumpWorld is predominantly driven by a composite of pathologies of which cynicism is a major part.
