Former CIA Director Porter Goss Registers to Lobby for Turkey

The Intercept reports:
Former Central Intelligence Director Porter Goss is taking an unusual swing through the revolving door: He recently registered to lobby for the government of Turkey, according to forms filed with the Justice Department.

Goss registered through his new employer, Dickstein Shapiro, which has a longstanding relationship with the Turkish government.

The disclosure shows Goss will advise Turkey on a variety of issues, including counter-terrorism efforts, lobby members of Congress on “issues of importance to Turkey,” and notify Turkey of actions in Congress or the Executive Branch.
It's all about dollars.
