DOJ Updates FARA Advisory Opinions For Legal Geniuses

Explaining to DOJ why the law firm did not register as FARA
"Lobbying is attorney client privilege".

Ooooo.... There was only one recent FARA Advisory Opinion that came out May 3, 2018 and it was dealing with a redacted name law firm and requirements to register as a foreign agent.

You have no idea how much I want this redacted name law firm to be Perkins Coie.

But then again, I keep my expectations extremely low when dealing with government administration, so I will take just about any named law firm at this juncture.

The FARA Advisory Opinion, below, is a warning shot to the community of "Legal Geniuses (trademark pending) stop stealin' , which includes.....how ever shall I coin these activities.....?

• Offering an elected official (or staffer) money, whether it be a political campaign contribution or your basic personal inurement for doing what you, the lobbyist using money from foreign corporations, tells them to do, is still considered to be bribery.
• This includes the use of NGOs to facilitate the transactions, whether simple or complex.
• If you engage in any of the aforementioned activities, and do not register under FARA, you are automatically stripped from any "attorney-client privilege" and any immunity arguments you can find diving in the dumpster of your career.

I shall assume there will be a mad dash of new FARA registrations coming in the new few weeks from the legal community.*

*Please note that "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) is a separate and distinct class of individuals with licenses to practice law as an officer of the court on behalf of private interests from those I have identified as the legal community.  Below, is the work of the legal community.  For an example of the work of "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending), always remember, Perkins Coie Sucks.

Department Of Justice Posts Advisory Opinions On FARA.Gov Website

John Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, announced today the public release of the advisory opinions issued by the Department of Justice’s Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Registration Unit since January 1, 2010.  See below, or https://www.justice.gov/nsd-fara/advisory-opinions.

“Eighty years ago, Congress passed and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to combat the spread of hidden foreign influence in American politics,” Assistant Attorney General Demers said.  “Today is the law’s 80th anniversary, and it remains a vital tool to combat this threat.  To enhance compliance, we are making these advisory opinions available publicly and online for the first time. By posting these advisory opinions, the Department of Justice is making clearer how we interpret some of FARA’s key provisions.”

FARA, as amended, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq., requires persons in the United States who engage in specified activities as agents of foreign principals to register with the Department of Justice (the “Department”) unless they are exempt.  Disclosures under FARA help to ensure transparency in the activities of foreign principals and make it more difficult for those principals to maintain secret their role in activities occurring in the United States.  Within the Department’s National Security Division (NSD), responsibility for the administration and enforcement of FARA resides with the FARA Registration Unit, which is part of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

Pursuant to regulations that the Department has issued implementing FARA, potential registrants or their counsel may ask the FARA Registration Unit how the Department interprets and applies FARA.  See 28 C.F.R. § 5.2.  Such inquiries must be in writing, must pertain to an actual, as opposed to hypothetical situation, and must disclose the identities of the parties involved. Written materials submitted pursuant to such a request are treated as confidential.

The FARA Registration Unit has issued 49 advisory opinions since January 1, 2010, which are being posted on the FARA.gov website together with three other letters sent in response to requests for general information.  The opinions and letters will be organized on the website by topic of inquiry or the aspects of the statute they discuss.  Any proprietary information, including any information that would identify the parties who made the requests has been redacted. The FARA Unit will post future advisory opinions in a similar manner on a periodic basis.

In its September 2016 Audit of NSD’s Enforcement and Administration of FARA, the Department’s Inspector General recommended that NSD consider the value of making advisory opinions publicly available.  NSD agreed with that recommendation and posted summaries of a few opinions on the website.  With the public posting of a more comprehensive repository of correspondence, the Department has demonstrated its commitment to improving the public’s understanding of FARA.

The Department’s regulations implementing FARA give parties the ability to make inquiries of the FARA Registration Unit concerning the application of the Act to contemplated activities and the Department's present enforcement intentions with respect to those activities.  See 28 C.F.R. § 5.2.  Such inquiries must reflect actual, contemplated transactions and cannot be anonymous.  28 C.F.R. § 5.2(b). 

Below are links to advisory opinions that the FARA Registration Unit has issued pursuant to requests under 28 C.F.R. § 5.2 since January 1, 2010, as well as three opinions issued prior to that point (which were previously summarized on this website).  The identities of the parties and any personal identifying or proprietary information have been redacted from the opinions.  The FARA Unit will post future advisory opinions in a similar manner on a periodic basis.

Please note that these letters, and the guidance they provide, are based on the information submitted to the FARA Registration Unit.  Nothing in these letters is intended to create any substantive or procedural rights, privileges, or benefits enforceable in any administrative, civil, or criminal matter. See United States v. Caceres, 440 U.S. 741 (1979). For further information please contact the FARA Registration Unit at FARA.Public@usdoj.gov or by telephone at

Prelude To Detroit: The Tale Of Why Peter Duke & Tracy Connors Suck - Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote The GO BLUE - Detroit Land Bank Authority Model

Meet Peter Duke.

He is the political fashion photographer to all the co-conspirator stars of the 2016 election interference.

I would never have ever given him a second thought to his existence, but he attempted to summon the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed, without going through the proper prayers, while contemporaneously invoking the names of Cernovich and Ali Alexander, in the same video, as 2016 election interference experts, which gave me all indicators that he is of similar ilk of these same vile creatures, for they were all mean to my Sweetie.

He said "#MeToo".

This means he knows my blog, leaving him no excuse to continue promulgating false claims in the public record for the purposes of cloaking the industry of trafficking tiny humans.

That is what I call dark magic because we have something called due process in this land, where, prayers are peaceably delivered to the individual who has received the transfer of the one's voice, through the vote.

This means, if there is a situation where one finds transgressions upon government, or with governance, there exists formal mechanisms, either through the administrative process of grievance to one's elected representative in request for constituency services to report such actions, or, in an exhaust of administrative remedy, in court of law, under oath of the seal, in bearing witness.

Alas, Peter likes to make modern day codexes, which is not included the formal process of heraldry, or rather preservation of the record, like what Jorge just did in beatification, for the posterity of society, under oath, because his endeavours are devoid of being granted a seal, or rather a crowdsourcing of manufactured, edited evidence, of false claims, which begs the question to the national sources of his funding.

So, I looked up to see if he had registered as a foreign agent under FARA.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.  Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Unit of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of FARA.

Due to health concerns regarding COVID-19, the FARA Public Office will be closed until further notice. Should you need access to information that is unavailable online, please contact the FARA Unit at fara.public@usdoj.gov for assistance.

I did not find any seals so I looked up his NGO association and found this.

And, I found this...

2008 is the last filing for Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation

Then, I found this, where the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation seems to have gone through the Corporate Shape Shifting metamorphis to magically become the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, because I could not produce any state or federal corporate findings, nor UCC, to demonstrate the contrary to my premise that the corporate parental right to keep and bear the arms of the United States were terminated,  which automatically led me to experience a severe episode of Post Traumatic Fraud Disorders, because I have just found myself another one of those transposable models, like the Detroit Land Bank Authority and the Clinton Foundation, where they like to use big institutions like banking or universities to launder money out the country through those glorious tiny human trust funds transposable models, like Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Grand Valley State, and the many other universities which are at the threshold of a SCOTUS review.

https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/

Then, I found lots of living and dead trademarks, which automatically demonstrates that there was some serious trafficking tiny humans operations going on, because I can see the transposable model.

Steven Spielberg And USC Shoah Foundation To Honor William Clay Ford, Jr., Executive Chairman Of Ford Motor Company, At Ambassadors For Humanity Gala In Detroit

USC Shoah Foundation logo

NEWS PROVIDED BY

USC Shoah Foundation Institute 

May 13, 2015, 10:07 ET

     

DETROIT, May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Steven Spielberg, founder of USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education, will present William Clay Ford, Jr., executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, with the Institute's Ambassador for Humanity Award at the organization's annual gala, taking place this year in Detroit on Sept. 10. Ford will be recognized for his leadership and corporate citizenry around education and community. Mickey Shapiro, real estate developer and longstanding member of the Institute's Board of Councilors, is the event's co-chairman. The gala vice chairs and benefit committee will comprise leaders from the local community and from around the nation.

The September gala will provide the opportunity to highlight the Institute's global work in making the 53,000 audio-visual interviews with survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides in its Visual History Archive a compelling voice for education and action.

USC Shoah Foundation has a long history in Michigan and with Ford Motor Company, which was the sole sponsor of the 1997 NBC broadcast of the Academy Award® winning "Schindler's List,"' the film that inspired the establishment of the Institute. The Institute collected 335 testimonies with Holocaust survivors and witnesses in the Detroit area, with local videographers and interviewers specially trained for the job.

The Visual History Archive is also available on two campuses in Michigan, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor and University of Michigan - Flint.

The event will also shine a light on the emerging partnership between USC Shoah Foundation and Ford Motor Company to expand the Institute's IWitness educational platform in the Detroit area. IWitness brings the first-person stories of survivors and witnesses of genocide from the Institute's Visual History Archive to students via multimedia-learning activities that are accessible via Macs, PCs, iPads, and tablet devices connected to the Internet.

They all have trafficking tiny humans trust funds

Currently, 100 educators in Michigan – and over 6,500 globally – use IWitness. In addition, more than 250 educators in Michigan, and over 15,000 nationally, have been trained on Echoes and Reflections, a multimedia Holocaust curriculum developed by the Institute and partners, the Anti-Defamation League and Yad Vashem.

This is that database David Whelan, brother of Paul Whelan, the one who did the Clinton Foundation
database, set up the University of Michigan library system for the State of Michigan, where I still have access, as soon as I update my stuff, because I am pretty damn sure I worked on the initial stages of the design out University of Michigan Dearborn with my Psychobabies. This is a human asset management database of identities, where, you can search for the right made up crap to formally present as evidence because they make up the facts through the use of predictive modeling crap. I am having another Post Traumatic Fraud Seizure...

A significant portion of the proceeds raised at the gala will remain in the region, where the funds will be utilized for educational programs in secondary schools. 

This is code for Detroit Children's Fund where they probably invested in some of those Detroit Land Bank Authority properties so they could run merrily through the streets of Detroit, creating and flipping those fake ass TARP mortgages because it is in partnership with USC and University of Michigan, just like how the Emergency Manager Law of Jones Day was implemented after it was generated out of those fake ass Public Private Partnerships like with Kevyn Orr and the PriceWaterHouse USC School of Public Policy that utilized that Archdiocese of Detroit model to go a-stealin' the children, land & vote.....I got some serious boos boos I am putting on my special "honey do" list.

Steven Spielberg, founder of USC Shoah Foundation and chairman of the Ambassadors gala said, "Working with Bill Ford and Ford Motor Company to further explore ways to share the work of the Institute with the people of Michigan is a wonderful opportunity. Reaching people when they're young is the key to changing the world with testimony. IWitness and its ability to deliver tolerance education to the Detroit region gives me great hope that together we can affect significant change. The commitment of Bill Ford and Ford Motor Company to support new approaches to learning, to provide scholarships, and to help deserving students attain higher education, makes him a great ambassador, and I am proud to recognize him for his efforts."

Behold, the trafficking of tiny humans, straight out Detroit.

FUN FACT! THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS UNDER A FEDERAL COLLABORATIVE INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THESE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIVITIES

"The USC Shoah Foundation stands as an enormous point of pride for USC, and has seen its efforts advanced greatly through the support of individuals and organizations that recognize its value as a truly transformational tool for education. Mr. Ford is a visionary leader who understands the contribution that USC Shoah Foundation makes to the world, and we are honored to recognize him for his corporate citizenry and leadership," said University of Southern California President C. L. Max Nikias.

"I am so pleased that USC Shoah Foundation will be joining forces with Ford Motor Company and the local Detroit community to explore new ways to utilize IWitness as an educational tool, and endeavor to reach a growing number of educators and students across the Detroit region," said USC Shoah Foundation Executive Director Stephen D. Smith.

Now, meet Tracy Connors, of whom there is scant information about, which leads me to question the content of her character and her allodial attachment to a land.

Tracy may not know this, but she just entered her testimony into the public record on the history of the Civil Rights movement in the United States with the Black Panthers Foundation, which is now called the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, and its journey to Cuba and back, which just so happens to have had its parental rights to keep and bear the arms of the United States, terminated, just like the Shoah Corporate Shape Shifter.

And, on that note, I need to take a personal moment because Peter impugned my intelligence, which is never a very wise thing to do, which is why he sucks, and so does Tracy, until she can disprove my claims, under oath, in bondage of her body and spirit, because the cases of USC, et al trafficking tiny humans Trust Funds are already in SCOTUS, where we are going all out, old school, full maternal. 

This is not a Youtube nor Hollywood production, this is about the resurrection for the messiah cometh.

Mueller Is Going After Child Welfare Propaganda & Voting Rights

It started right here, in Detroit, in child welfare.

Bob Goodlatte Has An Issue In Judiciary, Dark Campaign Money & Medicaid Fraud In Child Welfare

This is not just about Foreign Agent Registration Act, it is also about Foreign Corrupt Practices Act because it funds political campaigns.

Mueller fuels foreign lobbying crackdown

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation has given federal prosecutors momentum to litigate alleged violations of what until last year was an obscure law governing foreign lobbying.

In the course of his now 19-month probe, Mueller has uncovered a web of alleged criminality linked to violations of a World War II-era law enacted amid concerns over foreign propaganda.

Mueller has obtained guilty pleas under the law, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), from two of President Trump’s 2016 campaign aides, Paul Manafort and Richard Gates. Both pleaded guilty to charges linked to their lobbying work on behalf of pro-Russian forces in Ukraine.

Mueller has also referred cases falling outside his mandate to other U.S. prosecutors.

One of those referrals resulted in the guilty plea last summer of GOP consultant Sam Patten, an associate of Manafort’s. Patten pleaded guilty to illegally lobbying on behalf of a political party in Ukraine called the Opposition Bloc, the successor to Russia-backed oligarch Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. Patten has been cooperating with Mueller and other federal officials and prosecutors are expected to give an update on his case by Monday.  

Meanwhile, federal prosecutors in Manhattan are said to be accelerating an investigation into Washington, D.C., firms that helped Manafort lobby on behalf of Yanukovych, raising the possibility new charges could be filed in the future.

And government prosecutors in Virginia are poised to lay out their case against a former business partner of Michael Flynn, Trump’s onetime national security adviser. Flynn is expected to be a witness against his old partner, who is charged with illegally lobbying on behalf of the Turkish government.

The developments have had a chilling effect in Washington among lobbyists and consultants.

“When you become ground zero for what America is angry about ... anything can happen,” said one lobbyist who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “All it takes is a couple of scandals.”

FARA dates back to 1938, when it was passed to ensure transparency of foreign influence in the American political process as a result of fears over Nazi and communist propaganda. It has been amended twice since then but is essentially the same law.

It requires that “agents of foreign principals,” typically lobbyists or consultants who work for foreign governments or political parties, register and file regular reports with the Justice Department on their activities. They also must file copies of materials they distribute for any foreign entities and keep a record of their activities.

Criminal prosecutions under the law have been few and far between. Indeed, a Justice Department inspector general report released two months before the 2016 presidential election concluded that Justice lacked a “comprehensive” strategy to enforce FARA.

Mueller’s investigation has turned the tides, at least for the time being.

Mueller charged Manafort and Gates with acting as unregistered foreign agents in October 2017, in addition to a slew of other federal offenses stemming from their lobbying on behalf of politicians in Ukraine. Both have since pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate, though Manafort’s plea deal broke down dramatically last month as the special counsel accused him of lying.

Their cases spell potential trouble for two D.C. firms that Manafort recruited to lobby on behalf of Yanukovych in the United States. Manafort has admitted to arranging for the firms, the now-defunct Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs, to work for a nonprofit that claimed to be independent but was in fact under Yanukovych’s direction in order to obscure that their efforts were done at the behest of the Ukrainian government.

Mueller’s prosecutors said in September that some employees of both firms, identified only as “Company A” and “Company B” in court filings, knew that they were receiving direction from Yanukovych and not the nonprofit.

Neither firm registered under FARA for the lobbying work. Instead, they registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act. The two firms said they did so on advice from counsel, and both have subsequently registered under FARA.

FARA allows for some exemptions in which lobbyists could register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act rather than FARA. To do so, individuals or firms must represent foreign principals who are not foreign governments or political parties.

The Associated Press reported earlier this month that prosecutors in Manhattan, on Mueller’s referral, had in recent weeks interviewed witnesses to probe the lobbying done by the Podesta Group and Mercury, a sign of the investigation accelerating. Neither firm has been charged with wrongdoing.

Mueller’s referral also reportedly included Greg Craig, who worked as White House counsel under former President Obama and whose law firm Manafort hired to produce a report that defended the Ukrainian government’s imprisonment of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Yanukovych’s political rival.

Separately, Mueller’s investigation has contributed to prosecutors bringing charges against Bijan Kian, a co-founder of Flynn’s lobbying group who was indicted alongside another associate in mid-December on charges of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of the Turkish government.

The charges came roughly a year after Flynn pleaded guilty in connection with Mueller’s investigation and admitted to making false statements in filings to the Justice Department about the Flynn Intel Group’s lobbying work related to Turkey.

Kian has pleaded not guilty and his trial is slated to begin in February in Alexandria, Va., where Flynn is expected to testify.

Lobbyists who do work with foreign governments insist they comply with FARA, and some have suggested that the recent charges give the false impression that the industry is characterized by shady dealings.

“One bad lobbyist can tarnish the whole industry,” said one lobbyist, who likened the latest controversy to the Jack Abramoff scandal, which resulted in the former D.C. power player spending four years in prison and spurred congressional action to regulate lobbying.

Regardless, Mueller has thrown a spotlight on foreign lobbying activities that is unlikely to wane even after his investigation has concluded. Some lawmakers have pushed for legislation they argue would strengthen FARA and prevent individuals from exploiting loopholes in the law.

Lobbying shops may also start to turn away foreign clients if they haven’t already, given that Russian interference and other recent developments have cast a shadow over the work. A handful of firms, for instance, have recently dropped Saudi Arabia as a client in light of journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

“I think that even those who have been following the rules are going to think twice about this because I think there are probably ample numbers who have not been following the rules,” one lobbyist told the Hill.

“Even those that register appropriately, the question is going to be why are you working for an oppressive regime? Why are you trying to bolster a foreign government over the U.S. government?” the person continued.

New bills are expected to be introduced in the coming year and House Democrats will likely push to get a bill that tackles foreign lobbying regulations out of the lower chamber.

“I think there is definitely more focus. People are more engaged,” said Steven Cash, a D.C.-based lawyer at Day Pitney and former chief counsel to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

“I think there is more to come that is going to spin out of Mueller, and I suspect there is more to come generally, because we’re going to be more attentive to this,” Cash added.
