One of the most unenforced laws on the books. There have been 7 people charged and one convicted. It's only a big deal now because of "Truuuuuuump!".
So, how many people have been prosecuted under FARA ??
Looks like two will be prosecuted under FARA related to Michael Flynn, Trump's former National Security Advisor choice.
Noting too that Trump knew Flynn was trouble, and he even knew Flynn was under federal investigation for this.
National security advisor, working on behalf of Turkey for $600K. Shameful, traitorous.
That so few people have so egregiously violated this law, is not something to be proud of for most people. But if you want team Trump to wear that as a badge of honor, go right ahead.

Fair enough and if you want to make an argument to convince me, present those details.To be in a position to "see" whether there is or is not a crime, you need to at least: (1) know the facts of the case, (2) read the relevant statutes, (3) read all controlling cases interpreting those statutes in situations logically resembling (1).

When is Senator John Kerry going to be indicted for meeting with Iranian officials talking to them about the Iranian deal after he was no longer in office? Clearly, he was lobbying in regards to Iran and talking to Iranian officials while doing so.
Oh, that's right. He's a Democrat. It says right there in US Code in section one that nothing in the US Code nor any other federal law applies to Democrats. The only reason the founding fathers left this out of the US Constitution is the Democratic Party did not yet exist. Otherwise it would have been in there for sure.
The level of corruption on behalf of Democrats by the Mueller team and FBI appears unlimited by any laws.

The better question is why didn't Republicans launch an investigation?
donald j. Trump (aka david dennison, mushroom man)
- my team will commit so many crimes, and will violate some so egregiously, that even with republicans in charge of the house, senate, and white house, my own department of justice will be tied up for years indicting my cronies.
Maga!
