3. Wow, great catch!

I wish I could say this surprised me, but it's no secret that he's always been a right-wing asshole.

[mopinko]

5. jumped out at me too.

but sidley, how did you fall so low.

[hippywife]

12. See my post below - #10.

Not the same person.

[hippywife]

15. It's not THAT Matt Lauer.

The list says Matthew Jay Lauer. You all are insinuating it's Matthew Todd Lauer, formerly of NBC. That is inaccurate,

[Budi]

6. K & R Good catch!! Thank You!

We need to dig deeper into who's being paid to lobby for RU co's.

[hippywife]

11. No it's not.

See my post below. #10.

[hippywife]

10. The posted list says Matthew Jay Lauer, not...

Matthew Todd Lauer, which is who you posted. Not the same person.

[Budi]

13. Well then it still sucks for Matthew Jay Lauer.

Matthew Jay Lauer:
Qorvis' partner-in-charge of international and sovereign strategies and public diplomacy, Matt J. Lauer,

Qorvis Communications

Snip
"Qorvis is simply the most competent at providing nations and high-profile individuals with reputation management.
Our staff of experts delivers real results for countries and other foreign sovereign organizations. Qorvis is not about bringing in the big names who talk a lot and do little," said Matt J. Lauer. "What we have done at Qorvis is develop an agile and nimble force of public diplomacy practitioners to provide demonstratable progress and geopolitical solutions for our clients. We are loyal to our clients and our clients are loyal to us. This because our clients can actually witness the progress we make for them."

Prior to joining Qorvis, Matt J. Lauer was the executive director of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy at the Department of State.

14. But not the person

you are all trying to say it is. Need to make sure the info we share is accurate. It would be nice if you and the others updated your posts.

[Budi]

20. 🙄 I went ahead & posted the bio on MATTHEW JAY LAUER.

Again. I'd like to dig into the co's listed & find out if there are any other US politicians like NINA TURNER lobbying for RU Co's.

[hippywife]

22. Thank you!

Not that I like Matthew Todd Lauer, I just hate to see DU look as stupid and reactionary as some other people we know. And I agree about Nina Turner. Found this in her Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Turner#Post-Sanders_campaign

In September 2020, in partnership with Mercury Public Affairs, Turner launched the progressive public affairs firm Amare Public Affairs.[33] (Reference leads to a Politico article, so take that as you will.)

24. She been paid $300,00 a yr for that cool lobbying gig.

ick.

'All roads lead to Putin'~

[hippywife]

25. I just wish people would quote their sources.

Also, the Twitter account that posted that list isn't verified, and I don't know of him, either.

27. Thanks...

Was going to look it up later (because right now I'm concentrating on a dark chocolate cheesecake recipe I'm getting ready to make.)

Still the account is unverified, which for someone of that stature concerns me.

[Mme. Defarge]

16. Oops!

I searched for Matthew J Lauer and his was the picture that came up. Thanks for the correction.

[hippywife]

17. Thanks for delete your OP. nt

[Mme. Defarge]

18. Already did!

[hippywife]

19. I just saw that and changed mine. Thanks! nt

[Mme. Defarge]

21. It gives me great confidence,

and more than a little pride, that DU upholds a high standard for truth and integrity, and that individual members hold each other accountable.

Alors, merci ma belle!

[hippywife]

23. Thank you for taking the correction

as intended, and it was intended as you say.

There's still one from last week that the OP hasn't updated or deleted after it was brought to their attention. It pisses me off when people can't be adults and admit they made a mistake. Makes us all look stupid and reactionary.

29. Good to have LP slueths on these RU co's.

Thanks for posting ..

30. Hmmmmm. I wonder about someone who endorses somebody who refused to vote for Hillary in the general

election in 2016, encouraged others to do likewise, and compared President Biden to a bowl of s**t, if they might have cognitive issues

31. So Paid Lobbyist Nina Turner Is Running For Office....Again

Does she get a paycheck for running
