“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”

    Eh, as long as Netanyahu (or any foreign government) isn’t instructing them directly on how the funds should be spent it’s perfectly legal.

    And it’s really difficult to prove such a thing, and there’s virtually no interest in pursuing it.

    Otherwise any lobby group is allowed to lobby on behalf of any interest, including an ally nation

    And I consider that to be foreign interference in US elections. Of course it’s legal. Lots of shitty things are legal.

    You’re welcome to start your own lobby group, Ensign.

    And we’re back to “just start your own group to interfere with elections!” I want less interference, not more.
