In 2014, the top five Turkish government-tied lobbyists and subcontractors made $1.7 million.
That figure quadrupled to more than $7.3 million in 2018.
Lobbyists' links to Trump allies look like this.

Here are some interactive charts to help visualize the lobbying trends over those years, with data from Foreign Agents Registration Act filings from those five firms between 2014 and 2018. Statistics include money paid to subcontractors.https://public.tableau.com/profile/adam.klasfeld#!/vizhome/TopFiveTurkey-LinkedLobbyistsbyFunding/Pro-TurkeyLobbying…
Just for clarity here: For the purposes of this analysis, the five firms that I analyzed here are: * Gephardt Group * Greenberg Traurig * Ballard Partners * Mercury Public Affairs * Amsterdam & Partners Plus, their subcontractors. These were major players 2014-2018.
This doesn't purport to be a comprehensive list of all FARA-registered Turkish lobbyists, and there were other ones during this time frame.
I think you left off Denny Hastert. Before he resigned from Dickstein Shapiro, after his arrest. That's VERY relevant. Because, you know, his story shows how all those lobbyists got roped in to work for Turkey.https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-a-plea-deal-for-hastert-may-hide-the-truth/…
Dickstein Shapiro was a subcontractor. It's in the story, though not Hastert specifically. The article was quite long and doesn't purport to be comprehensive. Just an overview.
Thanks Adam. Where does Wexler fit in here?
Trump has hired multiple unregistered Turkish agents while in the White House. Tells the story.
This is so overwhelming to we ordinary people
