Paul Manafort and Donald Trump

In 1967, there were 64 registered lobbyists in the entire United States. By 1990, there were more than 10,000 registered lobbyists in U.S. That's Paulafort's doing in large part. He was getting the US government to pay these guys and the Gannell afford to pay him because they were getting so much aid from the US. The Center for Public Integrity published a report on foreign influence pedaling called the Torturer's Lobby. They called it this because the people he represented were guilty of torturing hundreds of thousands of people. Both Kenya and Nigeria have widely criticized human rights records.
