I’m just over here pondering that time that Costel Iancu called Jack Abramoff repeatedly for help getting the president of Congo a meeting with then president-elect trump and Abramoff got Rohrabacher involved. And then Abramoff filed a #TooLateFARA.
Why did a Romanian mafia thug/politician who kidnapped people and took naked pics of them while they were chained up decide that Jack Abramoff was his guy? And why was he working for the president of Congo?
Then Rohrabacher did a congressional delegation tour to Congo and Abramoff was in Congo at the time but didn’t meet up w Rohrabacher.

NDCA: Lobbyist Jack Abramoff And CEO Rowland Marcus Andrade Charged With Fraud In Connection With $5 Million Initial Coin Offering Of Cryptocurrency AML Bitcoin justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/l…
Abramoff is a repeat offender 🤣
“The information filed against Abramoff also alleges that he knowingly and corruptly failed to register as a lobbyist, as required by the Lobbying Disclosure Act, after being retained for lobbying efforts that would involve one or more lobbying...
... communications with a federal official. This is the first ever known prosecution of a lobbyist for a criminal violation of the Lobbying Disclosure Act.”

I'm re-upping my tweet of this from August 2018 because I'm still mystified as to why Ed Kutler's & Mike McSherry's FARA violations aren't being investigated by SDNY alongside Vin Weber's FARA violations (OR MAYBE THEY ARE WE JUST DON'T KNOW YET?)
This is one of the supplemental statement Amendments from Mercury Public Affairs with #TooLateFARA info for "European Center For A Modern Ukraine" efile.fara.gov/docs/6170-Amen…
you'll notice Ed Kutler's name on there. Also, Mike McSherry, who, SURPRISE! worked for the Trump campaign.
Boop! Here's Mike McSherry in some #GoodJournalism by @RosieGray (again, I don't love Buzzfeed but this is solid reporting here) So it's not like McSherry's ties to tRUmp campaign and to Manafort shady shady lobbying weren't known. From August 2016:

Now that that Skadden #TooLateFARA is out, I really think you should take another look at this, @washingtonpost.
I respect your organization & I think you need to declare FARA registrations alongside bylines of anyone you publish.
You're a national treasure.
Set the standard.
We all know the compromised @nytimes won't.
But your tagline is, "Democracy Dies In Darkness."
Shine some light on the PR-FARA Industrial complex.
Mark what is spin to protect TRUTH.
Don't allow the PR Industrial Complex to use your trusted reputation as their weapon in this information war.
Label propaganda as such. If a writer you publish is FARA-registerd or a registered lobbyist, DISCLOSE IT IN THEIR BYLINE.
Your country needs you.

With news that Mueller team referred Tony Podesta & Vin Weber FARA stuff to SDNY, may I remind you:
APRIL 2017: Podesta Group files new disclosures in Manafort-linked Ukraine lobbying

European Centre for a Modern Ukraine is mentioned in Paul Manafort's #TooLateFARA for Ukraine Party of Regions from June 2017.
