I'm going to link other Mercury FARA finings that I've looked at so y'all can see who all they work for.
This is the Vin Weber stuff....Manafort....yikes...
My media criticism thread on coverage of Mercury Public Affairs client @GregBarkerUK who now works for Deripaska.
Cool, Kazakhstan, y'know, who doesn't want to FARA for them?
side note: Mercury also worked with @lathamwatkins for Deripaska:
Mercury + Tony Fabrizio & Bob Ward.
It's ugly, folks!
It's ugly, folks!
side note: Fabrizio = worked for evil, now-dead Arthur Finkelstein. Fabrizio = worked for Trump.
Mercury used to FARA for ZTE but they ended that relationship summer 2018
no words...
Qatar, y'all!
anyhoo, Mercury = shady AF so their new Global IP FARA should be no surprise to anybody. Here they are trying to sell made-in-China train cars to the NYC subway. um no thanks, bye.
