a piece of legislation, a bipartisan bill with matt gates to actually strengthen the foreign registration act to allow for more tools to investigations. i think we have to make sure that law is strong, people should comply with it. it provides important information so people know who lobbyists are working for, how much they re getting paid, et cetera. tucker: there are huge lobbyists who don t register at all, as you know. it s pretty outrageous, in my view. the law, everyone should follow it. tucker: everybody knows it s not followed here. it s true, and you know it. why isn t congress you are subject to the same disclosure. i think we should absolutely insist that people comply with the law.ulst it makes sense when someone is advocating on behalf of a foreign government. i hope you are wrong that there are lots of people that are breaking the law, but if they are breaking the law, they should be held accountable.
