Summary
This email chain from February 2016 details a lobbying effort coordinated by Vinoda Basnayake of Nelson Mullins regarding the 'arbitrary detention of Mr. Wade' (likely related to Senegalese politics). Basnayake successfully placed an op-ed in *The Hill* authored by former Congressman Ron Dellums to 'set the tone' for their advocacy campaign, intending to circulate it to Congress and the State Department. The document highlights the strategic use of prominent former US officials to influence public opinion and policy on foreign issues.
