@DouglasESchoen GREG CRAIG explored a way for his team to give PR advice to PAUL MANAFORT's Russia-aligned Ukrainian clients without FARA registering: "If we give PR advice to Ukraine, can a @SkaddenArps lawyer from the London office give the advice thus avoiding the obligation to register?"
@DouglasESchoen @SkaddenArps "We need an answer from someone who we can rely on with a straight face. Does FARA cover me -- do I have to register -- when I am working with a Dutch citizen who live and works in London and is giving Ukrainians PR advice?" -- former @BarackObama WH counsel @gregorybcraig45.
