Mubarak regime According to ProPublica, in 2007to 2008, Egypt ranked sixth in a list of the number of meetings between lobbyists for foreign governments and congressmen. In the lobbying campaign, a former Connecticut Representative, Toby Moffat, told his former colleagues that the bill "would be viewed as an insult" and that it would be wrong to insult an important ally. "We were just saying to them, 'Don't do this now to our friends in Egypt,'" he said. In the wake of President Mubarak's resignation, lobbyists Podesta, Moffat, and Livingston continue to share "a joint, multimillion-dollar (lobbying) contract with Egypt." In July, Weber Shandick ended its $1.2 million contract with EGIS after poor publicity, associated with
Egypt's human rights abuses. In addition to the EGIS contract, the Egyptian government also paid $2 million to the lobbying firm
Glover Park Group. ==References==
