Lock John Kelly Up!

Why didn’t John Kelly’s old lobbying shop register with the Justice Department?

Here’s a new foreign lobbying question for Trump's former chief of staff.



As he came aboard the Trump administration in early 2017, former White House chief of staff John Kelly found himself in hot water for failing to disclose his work for a Virginia-based lobbying firm called The Spectrum Group (TSG).

Now, however, there are fresh questions about TSG’s work — and whether Kelly was the only member to fail to disclose ties to the federal government.

TSG was founded in the 1990s, and pitches itself as a lobbying shop that works with a “diverse” range of clients. In addition to “companies pursuing global business interests,” the group’s website said as of this month that TSG also “work[s] with” foreign governments pushing their interests in the U.S.

As it advertised on its site, “We work with… select foreign governments seeking to advance their countries’ interests in the U.S.” - ThinkProgress

When the loyalty should be to the USA. Corruption is rampant in the world and white collar crime needs to be prosecuted much more vigorously with jail time for those convicted. Looking the other way only makes it worse.

We got away with that,... I wonder if we can get away with this ?

When you don't prosecute white collar crime they ignore the law.
