The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.  Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Unit of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of FARA.

As with the Congressional Sex Harassment Slush Fund and ZERO legitimate msm to question ANYTHING, taxpayers (most likely) foot the bill for this, as well. Chump change for them; slaps on the wrist (if that)? Of course, if the PEOPLE don't wake the fvck up and DEMAND Real NEWS Reporting, we'll never know unless POTUS twts it out! Doesn't He have ENOUGH to battle on our behalfs!!

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING FARA?

The penalty for a willful violation of FARA is imprisonment for not more than five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both.  Certain violations are considered misdemeanors, with penalties of imprisonment of not more than six months, a fine of not more than $5,000, or both.  There are also civil enforcement provisions that empower the Attorney General to seek an injunction requiring registration under FARA (for applicable activities) or correcting a deficient registration statement.
