(11) Look who is credited with the name

The Party of Regions

(12) Davis Manafort hired Edelman as a foreign lobby but failed to report it, violating U.S. law. Davis Manafort paid Edelman $35,000 a month retainer

(13) Davis Manafort directed Edelman to influence U.S. public opinion in favor of The Party of Regions through top US Media and experts.

(18) Davis Manafort and Edelman signed this agreement on May 31st 2007 and did not file until the issue became public.

They filed July 25th 2008, that is a Felony.
