https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-statement-indictments-filed-special-counsel%E2%80%99s-officeThe dirty little secret is that lots of people across the political spectrum in Washington have skirted their FARA registration obligations for years with little to no accountability.
The Judiciary Committee is continuing its work to ensure that the Justice Department and FBI are functioning free from inappropriate influence, consistent with our constitutional oversight responsibility, Grassley said. (BS my opinion)
Grassley first raised concerns about FARA enforcement in 2015 and held an oversight hearing on FARA enforcement in July. In April, Grassley questioned the Justice Department about potential FARA violations by Manafort and Gates as well as by Mercury L.L.C. and the Podesta Group, which lobbied on behalf of the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, the organization referenced in the special counsel indictment. The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine was essentially a front for the Ukrainian government as well as the Ukrainian Party of Regions.
Grassley has also questioned the Justice Department about possible FARA violations by Clinton confidantes Sidney Blumenthal and John Kornblum for their reported work on behalf of a political party in the nation of Georgia, Fusion GPS and various individuals working to undermine the Magnitsky Act, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynns retroactive registration under FARA and Democratic National Committee consultant Alexandra Chalupas reported work with Ukrainian officials to undermine the Trump Campaign.

(16,254 posts)While you're at it, Chuck, check out the tax evasion, as I'm sure a lot of people do that, as well.
If it bothers you, look at the other charges. I doubt FARA was the most important violation, so the rest will be sufficient to put them both behind bars.
