Since the election, companies with huge interests in US policy (@Amazon, @GM & the co. behind the Keystone Pipeline) have signed JEFF RICCHETTI to lobby. But the WH said STEVE RICCHETTI recuses himself from matters concerning his brother Jeff’s clients. https://t.co/V55QytrpaN — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

The lobbyist JEFF RICCHETTI is the brother top BIDEN advisor STEVE RICCHETTI. In the 1st half of 2020 (under TRUMP), Jeff Ricchetti’s firm collected $370k in lobbying fees. In the 1st half of 2021 (under BIDEN), Ricchetti’s firm collected $1.67M in fees. https://t.co/V55QytrpaN — PolitiTweet.org

Warnecke did the same thing during the TRUMP administration, per @Colo_Politics. It did not work. https://t.co/zMMXAf8o4u — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

Good luck with that ... STEVE WARNECKE, a Colorado businessman, hired the lobbyist-provocateur JACK BURKMAN in the last few months to help "with the process of seeking an ambassadorship" from the BIDEN administration, a new lobbying filing shows. https://t.co/BIH63smsMd — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the experts upon whom @NSOGroup has relied include: ➡️@DanielBShapiro, OBAMA's ambo to Israel; now up for a BIDEN post ➡️Beacon Global (JEREMY BASH firm) ➡️JEH JOHNSON & @juliettekayyem from Obama @DHSgov ➡️MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS (doing PR for NSO) https://t.co/FKXs3PYwym — PolitiTweet.org

ANITA DUNN's firm @SKDK defended @NSOGroup in 2019, telling @theintercept that NSO is committed “to an ethical business framework" that relies on national security & intelligence experts "to evaluate potential customers & review current customers." https://t.co/RaLNLOUxIJ — PolitiTweet.org

2) The BIDEN administration says it will not hold JULIAN ASSANGE in the most austere prison conditions if the U.K. allows his extradition. https://t.co/VABLarjS2M But human rights groups demand his immediate release, warning that his prosecution is a threat to press freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

The charges against TOM BARRACK yesterday included violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act by engaging in public relations on behalf of the U.A.E. While P.R. work doesn't get as much attention as overt lobbying, it is just as much a part of FARA. https://t.co/yRkUMsqRWz — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

GREG CRAIG was charged with lying to cover up public relations work that he did alongside legal work for a foreign client to avoid filing under FARA. But he was acquitted, showing how hard these cases can be to prosecute. https://t.co/jZ7DK2BjQo — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

2) @TheJusticeDept has until Friday to explain its appeal of a ruling blocking ASSANGE's extradition. Civil liberties & human rights groups are urging BIDEN's team to drop the extradition, calling the Assange prosecution “a grave threat to press freedom." https://t.co/D7QrImfYea — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

This reflects heightened activity around (1) FARA & (2) the ASSANGE case: 1) FARA exempts legal representation, but requires registration if lawyers also lobby or do P.R. for their clients. Assange's lawyer wrote that he is registering "out of an abundance of caution." — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

NEW: With public pressure mounting on the BIDEN administration to drop efforts to extradite JULIAN ASSANGE, his lawyer BARRY POLLOCK has registered as a foreign agent to provide "public advocacy in conjunction with legal representation." https://t.co/ygfcO49o5O https://t.co/eD45qZh8xX — PolitiTweet.org

The TOM BARRACK indictment alleges he served as an unregistered agent of the United Arab Emirates by representing its interests before the TRUMP administration, & in the media (which also requires FARA registration, but gets less attention than lobbying). https://t.co/CX4vJqoi99 — PolitiTweet.org
