Secretly manipulating government policy on their behalf. The DOJ has him dead to rights on this
That is what lobbyists for foreign govts do. It is "secret" (how sinister) only because it is not registered.
...then there is influence peddling, as practiced by the unregistered Biden klan, which is apparently okie dokie.
Indeed. I see MD has already replied that ‘in no way have the Biden’s ever abused their positions of political influence’, so I guess I’ll just congratulate you OS again on pointing out some very sensible observations, which naturally some here can’t bother to reflect upon.
In any event, good post.
Petey, how about when you put quotes suggesting the words are actually mine, you do so accurately?
It's not really that hard.
And it's dishonest to misquote on purpose.
Indeed, I said quite the contrary.
I said that if the DOJ finds evidence of a crime by any of the Bidens, they should be prosecuted. I haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean that if there was, they wouldn't deserve to be prosecuted...maybe you're like Mike Lindell and have "secret evidence"?
BTW, Salty, how do you like Petey considering you part of "the team"???
Salty and I were discussing the fundamental difference between lobbying, which is open advocacy for known clients with interests before the US government, and those who secretly, dishonestly work for a foreign government with interests which may otherwise conflict with the policies of the USA.
One is honest and legal, the other is dishonest and illegal. And should be.
Substantive difference, not simply a matter of paperwork.
