It is still evidence of a possible crime and would have been used to get a FISA or support a renewal at the time.

The original impetus for FARA was countering Nazi propaganda - which is why the law covers PR efforts as well as traditional lobbying.

But in response to Adam's question, advising overseas with no intention of influencing US govt / US public would not require FARA filing.
