The District of Criminals is filled with illegal lobbyists, many disguised as Congressmen & Senators.

Yep. They are some of the busiest and high paid lobbyists.

And, they’ll NEVER vote term limits, on the MSU, so it’s s lifelong career.

At our expense.

Disgusting.

Mueller is literally trying to charge anyone within arms reach of Trump with everything that resembles what Hillary is guilty of doing, selling her office, failing to establish as a foreign agent, etc.

This is called going on the offense and is a tactic to make the eventual investigation of Hillary seem retalliatory... also, if they give weak sentences, they can give weak sentences to Hillary as well.

So because a foreign company also did work with the Turkish government, these men are guilty of not reporting work with this company ?

I gotta say there is a very fine line here between Freedom of Speech and “lobbying”. I guess if you take money from a foreign government and then advocate for them that is lobbying. But it’s still questionable in my mind that this is a 1A protected activity.

So what is it when you are the Secretary of State and take foreign money and act in favor of foreign governments?

What confuses me is the difference between persuasion and lobbying?

Or a college prof disagreeing with your argument on a term paper vs grading you down for making it at all?

There is confusion here between coercion and persuasion.

At least half or more of congress and their aides should be imprisoned for lobbying foreign governments at the detriment of America’s best interests; i.e., selling us out.

Is anyone else wondering when Trump’s DOJ and FBI are going to start indicting people for real, no-shit crimes? Meanwhile, other people are having their lives ruined in Mueller’s quest to find something on Trump.
