The Foreign Agent Registration Act, which dates to 1938, today mostly applies to lobbyists of foreign governments who are trying to influence U.S. policy. Its a worthwhile question to ask but also one least likely to cast the president and his campaign in a negative light.
Its not the first time Grassley has worked to shift blame for the whole Russian fiasco. He took a similar stance toward the controversy surrounding former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Grassley was focused on bringing to justice those who leaked classified information about a meeting between Flynn and the Russian ambassador. As an afterthought, Grassley also supported holding Flynn accountable for failing to disclose that meeting."
Much more at the link.
What an embarrassment!

to beat any system to stop what they wanted anyway? No, not the good law-abiding Trumps.
