      If there is proof that they have given millions of dollars, this will go to court, as that is illegal. Lobbying is not bribing as I pointed out in my initial reply. Lots of different groups and organisations use lobbying to make their concerns heard. Just because this is a case we don’t like, does not mean lobbying has no purpose.

        Yeah Helmut Kohl never went to court and never revealed how he ended up with suit cases full of cash that enabled him and his party to rule for 16 fucking years. Sure bud lobbying is fine because they always follow the laws.
