Was it collected in the interest of a foreign principal? To me it seems like it was collected in the interest of themselves.
Any association, corporation, organization, or “combination of persons” that either was established under a foreign country’s laws or maintains its principal place of business in a foreign country; and Any individual outside the United States (other a U.S. citizen who is also domiciled in the U.S.). In other words, foreign government entities, political organizations, businesses, nonprofits, state-owned enterprises, and even individuals are all “foreign principals” under FARA.
In order to be an “agent,” an individual or entity must perform one of the following specified FARA-registrable activities within the United States “for or in the interests of” its “foreign principal”:

I don't disagree that they received money from foreign entities. But there's no evidence that money wasn't in exchange for legitimate services.

Last time I checked Biden is innocent until proven guilty. If Comer wants to present evidence these were not legitimate business ventures, he is more than welcome. Until then however, the assumption, from a legal standpoint, is that they were legitimate.

You're not really good at this whole reading comprehension thing are you?
A person needs to register as a foreign agent if they collect money in the interest of a foreign principal.
Do you believe that Trump needs to register as a foreign agent considering he has received money from the Chinese, Russians, Saudis, etc?

A whistleblower is alleging that the FBI and the Justice Department are in possession of a document that describes a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley said Wednesday.
Comer, R-Ky., and Grassley, R-Iowa, said the whistleblower claims the document "includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose."
So it seems there was some smoke, now there is some fire. It's time to find out if the BIDEN DOJ will be Apolitical, or they will stall this out until Joe can make a graceful exist with some medical issues.
This information has been sent to the DOJ, Garland and Wray. How it is dealt with will be really interesting. I'm just imagining a montage of democrats smugly saying "Nobody is above the law", and then have them try to spin this as a Trump issue.
And please remember, this isn't the mud pit, so play nice or DTOM will come with that post that reminds us all that this isn't the mud pit.
