Andrew Forrest is a foreign propagandist. That’s why Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy were forced to register with the DOJ under FARA to carry out this lawsuit at his behest. The fact that San Francisco Baykeeper, the Surfrider Foundation, the Sierra Club, and Heal the Bay are all willing to engage in this dishonest, manipulative behavior only goes to show how bogus they are as traditional non-profits aimed at advancing a public good. Members of Congress have proposed legislation aimed at preventing foreign actors from weaponizing the American judicial system for political ends. That’s a great idea. In the meantime, the White House should look at law firm FARA filings to find examples of the lawfare that President Trump has promised to root out.
