Javelin Advisors LLC
Javelin Advisors LLC is a lobbying and advisory firm founded by former White House and Trump Organization officials who registered simultaneously under FARA (for Pakistan) and LDA (for six domestic and foreign-linked clients), generating approximately $3.4 million in its first year across foreign government representation, critical minerals diplomacy, executive clemency advocacy, and regulatory lobbying -- with a contracting structure that routes foreign principal payments through a co-owner's law firm.
Javelin Advisors LLC is a Washington-based lobbying and advisory firm formed in Delaware on November 13, 2024, by three co-equal managing directors: George Sorial, a former Trump Organization executive vice president; Keith Schiller, Donald Trump's longtime personal bodyguard and Director of Oval Office Operations; and Robert W. Seiden, a private investigator and attorney whose law firm, Seiden Law LLP, serves as both contracting intermediary and co-lobbyist 1.
In its first full year, Javelin registered under both the Foreign Agents Registration Act (representing the Islamic Republic of Pakistan from April to October 2025) and the Lobbying Disclosure Act (representing six domestic and foreign-linked clients). An analysis of combined LDA and FARA filings suggests an estimated $3.4 million in disclosed revenue 2. Its client portfolio spans foreign government representation, critical minerals diplomacy, executive clemency advocacy, environmental regulatory lobbying, Ukraine reconstruction advisory work, and Taiwanese defense-sector market entry 3.
All three founders share prior equity in GreenMet, a critical minerals consultancy co-founded by Drew Horn, linking Javelin to a broader network of former government officials operating across the global rare earth supply chain 4.
Founders and Corporate Structure
The firm's three managing directors bring complementary backgrounds. George Sorial served as executive vice president and counsel at the Trump Organization from 2002 to 2019, managing its global portfolio and serving as chief compliance counsel from 2017 onward 1. Keith Schiller was Trump's personal security chief for decades and held the title Director of Oval Office Operations during the first Trump administration 1. Robert W. Seiden operates Seiden Law LLP, which functions as both a legal intermediary for Javelin's foreign engagements and as the firm through which payments from foreign principals are routed 5.
The firm's registered address shifted from 433 Plaza Real, Suite 275, Boca Raton, Florida at formation to 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, D.C., by November 2025, with an additional address at 1751 Pinnacle Drive, Tysons, Virginia 1. All three founders hold prior equity stakes in GreenMet, a critical minerals consultancy co-founded by Drew Horn, linking Javelin to the broader GreenMet network that includes partnerships with Critical Metals Corp in Greenland 4.
In the Pakistan engagement, Seiden Law LLP held the direct FARA-reportable contract with the government of Pakistan, while Javelin served as subcontractor 5. Robert Seiden simultaneously serves as managing partner of Seiden Law LLP, co-owner of Javelin, and listed lobbyist on multiple LDA filings -- a dual role that places him on both sides of the contracting relationship 5.
Pakistan: FARA Registration and Critical Minerals Diplomacy
Javelin registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA #7579) on April 25, 2025, as an agent for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with the Pakistan Embassy at 3517 International Court NW, Washington, D.C., listed as the foreign principal 6. The contract, signed April 24, 2025, specified a fee of $50,000 per month, with payments flowing from Pakistan through Seiden Law LLP to Javelin 7. Over the engagement's duration, Javelin received four payments totaling $200,000 7. The engagement was terminated on October 8, 2025 6.
The stated purpose was to promote the exploration and sale of rare earth and critical minerals and to establish long-term US-Pakistan economic partnerships 8. FARA filings reference a framework for bilateral cooperation with an indicative value characterized as up to $1 trillion, with Pakistan's Frontier Works Organization (a military engineering corps) nominated as the extraction entity 8. Javelin delivered a proposed bilateral memorandum of understanding on rare earths to the office of Rep. Ryan Zinke, and its primary congressional contact was Rep. Ronny Jackson (TX-13), a former Trump White House physician 9. Additional documented contacts included representatives Dan Renshaw and Morgan Luttrell 9.
Pakistan's rare earth deal advanced materially during Javelin's engagement period. A $500 million MOU between the Frontier Works Organization and US Strategic Metals (Missouri) was signed on September 8, 2025, at the Prime Minister's House in Islamabad, and the first shipment of rare earths -- containing antimony, copper concentrate, neodymium, and praseodymium -- was dispatched approximately October 2, 2025 10. Javelin's FARA registration was terminated the same month 10.
On May 9, 2025 -- two days after India launched Operation Sindoor airstrikes against Pakistan -- Javelin filed a FARA Exhibit B amendment expanding its scope to include the Jammu and Kashmir dispute and Pakistan-India relations 11. During the Operation Sindoor crisis, Javelin disseminated informational materials to the offices of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries 12.
Domestic Lobbying Portfolio
Beyond its FARA-registered Pakistan work, Javelin maintained a six-client LDA lobbying roster that generated approximately $2.9 million in disclosed income during 2025 13.
The largest single payment came from Logical Strategies LLC, a New York entity that paid $1.2 million in Q3 2025 for lobbying on the EPA's Final Rule on chrysotile asbestos under the Toxic Substances Control Act 14. The identity of Logical Strategies' beneficial owners has not been established, and the entity name does not match any prominent publicly known organization 14. Lobbying ceased after Q3 2025, coinciding with the EPA's withdrawal of its reconsideration motion in July 2025 14. NioCorp Developments Ltd., a Colorado-based critical minerals company, paid $400,000 in Q4 2025 for lobbying on DOD funding and contracts 4. Capstone USA Advisory Group LLC, focused on Ukraine reconstruction and defense, paid $300,000 in Q3 2025 3.
A separate Taiwanese client cluster also emerged in Q4 2025. I-MEI Foods Co. Ltd. registered with Javelin, with LDA filings disclosing three affiliated foreign entities -- Tansimo Robotic Manufacturing Inc., Chelpis Quantum Corp (quantum cybersecurity), and Golden Saddle Machinery Co. Ltd. -- all pursuing US Department of Defense contracts for food products, cybersecurity, and robotics 15.
Executive Clemency Representation
Two of Javelin's six LDA clients were convicted felons seeking executive pardons 16. Fred Daibes, a New Jersey businessman convicted of bribing Senator Bob Menendez with cash and gold bars and serving a seven-year sentence, hired Javelin in Q1 2025 for "executive relief," paying $1 million according to external reporting; the engagement ended in June 2025 16. Greg E. Lindberg, a North Carolina billionaire who pleaded guilty in 2024 to $2 billion in fraud and money laundering (with a prior jury conviction for bribing the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner), retained Javelin in Q3 2025 explicitly for "executive pardon" services, paying minimal fees 16.
These clemency-focused engagements operated alongside Javelin's foreign government lobbying and critical minerals work. LDA filings describe the services using the terms "executive relief" and "executive pardon" respectively, and both clients were registered during periods when Javelin also held active FARA and LDA registrations for foreign principals and corporate clients 3.
Political Contributions and Congressional Access
FARA supplemental filings document political contributions made by Javelin principals during their active foreign agent registration period 17. On September 8, 2025, Keith Schiller and George Sorial jointly donated $5,000 to Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) through the TEAM KATIE joint fundraising committee, with Schiller making an additional separate $5,000 donation to Britt the same day 17. On October 28, 2025, a $4,000 donation was made to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) by check 17.
Both recipients hold committee assignments relevant to Javelin's client work. Senator Britt sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Banking Committee, both germane to Javelin's foreign engagement and minerals trade portfolio 17. Rep. Jackson sits on the House Armed Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over critical minerals defense supply chains 17. Jackson was also Javelin's primary congressional contact for the Pakistan engagement, with documented in-person meetings, phone calls during the India-Pakistan crisis, and a dinner arrangement during the May-June 2025 period 9. The supplemental filings document these lobbying contacts and campaign contributions directed at the same legislators during an active FARA registration period 17.
Critical Minerals Network and GreenMet Nexus
Javelin's Pakistan engagement connects to its founders' involvement with GreenMet, the critical minerals consultancy whose shareholders include Sorial and Schiller alongside co-founder Drew Horn 4. Horn's career moved from DOE International Affairs Chief of Staff (where he helped create US critical minerals strategy) to ODNI Senior Advisor to GreenMet founder, tracing a path from government policy formulation to private-sector advisory work in the same domain 4. GreenMet's partnerships span Greenland (via Tanbreez and Critical Metals Corp), Pakistan (via Javelin's FARA engagement), and Ukraine (via Capstone USA Advisory Group) 4.
Despite GreenMet's partnership with Critical Metals Corp (CRML), neither Javelin Advisors nor George Sorial appears in any of the 167 SEC filings associated with CRML 18. The GreenMet-Critical Metals relationship and any associated compensation structure remain undisclosed in public securities filings 18. Separately, reporting from January 2026 attributed to Javelin a role in the US-China rare earth agreement of October 30, 2025, in which China paused controls on rare-earth magnets in exchange for US rollback of curbs on Chinese companies 19. If accurate, Javelin was operating across at least three rare earth supply-chain diplomatic tracks simultaneously during 2025: Pakistan, Greenland (via GreenMet), and US-China negotiations 19.

Pakistan FARA engagement financial details. Contract signed 04/24/2025 between Javelin and Seiden Law LLP for benefit of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Fee $50K/month. Payments routed through Seiden Law LLP as intermediary. Documented payments: 4x $50K from Seiden Law LLP (05/07, 05/28, 06/30, 08/20/2025) = $200K total received. FARA terminated 10/08/2025. Disbursements for Pakistan work: $28,459.79 (FARA registration, hotel, travel, legal fees, transport/food for two DC trips). Pakistan contact at Embassy: Rizwan Saeed Sheikh.
Javelin Advisors full LDA lobbying client roster reveals far broader access-brokering operation than Pakistan alone. Confirmed clients: (1) Capstone USA Advisory Group LLC (NY) - Ukraine reconstruction, registered Dec 2024, Q3 income $300K, Q4 active; (2) Fred Daibes (NJ, conv. Menendez co-conspirator) - executive pardon/relief, registered Q1 2025, income $1M (reported externally); (3) Logical Strategies LLC (NY) - EPA asbestos rule + govt contracts, registered Q3 2025, Q3 income $1.2M (largest single payment); (4) Greg E. Lindberg (NC, conv. $2B fraud/bribery) - executive pardon, registered Q3 2025, minimal fees; (5) NioCorp Developments Ltd (CO) - critical minerals funding/contracts, registered Q4 2025, Q4 income $400K; (6) I-MEI Foods Co Ltd (Taiwan) - food/cybersecurity/robotics govt contracts, registered Q4 2025. Third lobbyist on multiple filings: Robert Seiden.
Political contributions disclosed in FARA supplemental (period ending 10/31/2025): (1) 09/08/2025: Keith Schiller AND George Sorial jointly donated $5,000 to Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) via TEAM KATIE joint fundraising committee, credit card; (2) 09/08/2025: Keith Schiller separately donated $5,000 to Sen. Katie Britt; (3) 10/28/2025: $4,000 donation to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) by check. Sen. Britt sits on Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Banking Committee. Rep. Jackson sits on House Armed Services Committee (relevant to critical minerals/defense). These are disclosed as lobbyist political contributions during active FARA representation period.
Seiden Law LLP structure creates triangular relationship: Seiden Law held the underlying contract with Government of Pakistan; Javelin was subcontractor to Seiden Law. Payments flowed Pakistan govt -> Seiden Law LLP -> Javelin Advisors LLC. This means Seiden Law LLP held the direct FARA-reportable relationship with Pakistan. Robert W. Seiden simultaneously is (1) Managing Partner of Seiden Law LLP (the law firm contracting with Pakistan); (2) equal co-owner/Managing Director of Javelin Advisors (the subcontractor receiving fees); (3) listed lobbyist on multiple LDA filings. This creates a potential self-dealing arrangement where Seiden controls both sides of the contract.
Javelin Advisors consolidated revenue estimate from LDA filings: (1) Capstone USA (Ukraine) Q3 2025: $300K; Q4: no income reported; (2) Fred Daibes (pardon) Q1 2025: $1M reported externally (LDA filed no income but external NBC reported $1M); (3) Logical Strategies (asbestos EPA) Q3 2025: $1.2M; Q4: none; (4) Greg Lindberg (pardon) Q3-Q4: minimal/none; (5) NioCorp (minerals) Q4 2025: $400K; (6) I-MEI Foods (Taiwan) Q4 2025: newly registered. Pakistan FARA separately: $200K. OpenSecrets total 2025: $2.5M. These figures suggest Javelin billed at least $3.5-4M in its first full year.
Pakistan paid Javelin Advisors ,000/month as a subcontractor to Seiden Law LLP. Seiden Law received ,000/month directly from Pakistan, subcontracted Javelin at K/month. Total Pakistan lobbying spend was ,000/month across two firms (Squire Patton Boggs ,500 + Seiden/Javelin). Javelin agreement dated April 24, 2025. Services: promote exploration and sale of rare earth/critical minerals, establish US economic partnerships.

Javelin also registered under FARA for Islamic Republic of Pakistan (April-October 2025), generating at least $1M from Fred Daibes and $1.2M from Logical Strategies LLC. Total disclosed Javelin revenue in 2025: approximately $3.4M.
communication (1)
FARA filings document Javelin Advisors' contacts with US government officials on behalf of Pakistan. Ronny Jackson (Rep TX-13, former Trump White House physician) was primary congressional contact. May 1 2025: in-person meeting with Pakistani officials. May 6: phone call re India-Pakistan conflict. May 16: dinner arrangement call. May 28: critical call leading to draft MoU delivery via email. Other targets: Rep. Dan Renshaw and Rep. Morgan Luttrell (both TX Navy veterans). Javelin also delivered a proposed bilateral MoU on rare earths to Ryan Zinke's office. MoU later led to M deal between US Strategic Metals and Pakistan's Frontier Works Organisation (September 2025).
relationship (2)
Robert Seiden (private investigator formerly associated with Trump) is co-lobbyist with Sorial and Schiller at Javelin Advisors LLC. Seiden appears as lobbyist in LDA filings for clients: Fred Daibes (executive relief), Logical Strategies LLC (asbestos/EPA), Greg Lindberg (executive pardon), I-MEI Foods (Taiwan - defense contracts), NioCorp Developments (critical minerals/DOD), Capstone USA Advisory Group (Ukraine reconstruction). Seiden Law LLP is the prime contractor for Pakistan FARA engagement.
Javelin Advisors LLC (Boca Raton FL address: 433 Plaza Real, Ste 275) registered under FARA (Reg No. 7579) on April 25, 2025 as agent for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. FARA registration was terminated October 8, 2025. This means Javelin Advisors — founded by former GreenMet shareholders George Sorial and Keith Schiller — was a registered foreign agent for Pakistan while simultaneously lobbying for NioCorp Developments Ltd. (critical minerals/US defense) and Capstone USA Advisory Group LLC.
legal (1)
Javelin Advisors lobbied for two convicted felons pursuing executive pardons: (1) Fred Daibes (NJ businessman, convicted of bribing Sen. Bob Menendez with cash and gold bars, serving 7-year sentence): hired Javelin for 'executive relief' (pardon), registered Q1 2025, paid $1M per external reporting, engagement with Javelin ended June 2025; (2) Greg E. Lindberg (NC billionaire, pleaded guilty 2024 to $2B fraud/money laundering, earlier jury conviction for bribery of NC Insurance Commissioner): hired Javelin Q3 2025 for 'executive pardon,' minimal fees. Combined, these engagements represent Javelin operating as a pardon-brokering service alongside its foreign lobbying work.
intelligence (7)
FARA Supplemental (period ending 10/31/2025): Pakistan activities included strategic/advisory services to establish long-term US economic partnerships; facilitated representation of Pakistan on Pakistan-India conflict and development of critical minerals. Political activities confirmed. Informational materials disseminated to public officials and legislators via email. Contacts during Operation Sindoor included offices of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. FARA relationship terminated 10/08/2025 per supplemental. Supplemental signed by Andrew J. Astuno, Counsel, Seiden Law LLP on behalf of Javelin.
Javelin Advisors played a key role in the US-China rare earth agreement of October 30, 2025, per reporting from January 2026. The US-China deal: China agreed to pause sweeping controls on rare-earth magnets in exchange for US rolling back expansion of curbs on Chinese companies. This was reported alongside Javelin's Pakistan minerals work, suggesting Javelin was operating across multiple rare earth supply-chain diplomatic tracks simultaneously.
Pakistan rare earth deal advanced materially after Javelin engagement. Key milestones: (1) Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum April 2025 (while Javelin engaged); (2) FWO-USSM (US Strategic Metals, Missouri) $500M MOU signed 09/08/2025 at PM's House Islamabad; (3) First shipment of rare earths to USSM dispatched ~10/02/2025 containing antimony, copper concentrate, neodymium, praseodymium; (4) Three-phase plan: Phase 1 2025-2026 export raw minerals; Phase 2 2026-2028 refineries in Pakistan; Phase 3 2028+ large-scale mining. FWO (Frontier Works Organization) is Pakistan Army engineering corps. Balochistan is geographic focus (also site of Reko Diq copper-gold mega-project). US Deputy Asst Secretary John Mark Pommersheim visited Islamabad for expanded cooperation framework. Javelin FARA terminated same month as FWO-USSM MOU (Oct 2025).
Javelin registered LDA lobbyist for I-MEI Foods Co Ltd (Taiwan) Q4 2025. LDA discloses three affiliated foreign entities tied to I-MEI: Tansimo Robotic Manufacturing Inc (Taiwan), Chelpis Quantum Corp (Taiwan, quantum cybersecurity), Golden Saddle Machinery Co Ltd (Taiwan). Issue areas: Defense and Government Issues - government contracts for food products, cybersecurity and/or robotics. I-MEI CEO Luis Ko previously invested in Chelpis Quantum 2022. This represents a Taiwan-origin client cluster pursuing US defense/government contracts through Trump insider access.
Logical Strategies LLC (NY) was Javelin's single largest paying client: $1.2M income in Q3 2025. Issue: EPA Final Rule Asbestos Part 1 (chrysotile asbestos, Toxic Substances Control Act) and government contracts. This is significant because the EPA asbestos rule is an active Trumpian deregulation battleground - the Trump EPA has been rolling back Biden-era asbestos restrictions. Identity of Logical Strategies beneficial owners not established. The name 'Logical Strategies' does not match any prominent publicly known entity - possible front/shell or quiet operator. Q4 2025: no activity reported from same client.
FARA Exhibit B Amendment filed 05/09/2025 (same day as Operation Sindoor military escalation): Javelin expanded Pakistan engagement scope to explicitly include Jammu and Kashmir dispute and Pakistan-India relations. Amendment text states 'proposed activities are to be updated to include ensuring that Pakistan's perspectives on important regional and global issues (Jammu and Kashmir dispute) and Pakistan-India relations are effectively communicated to the US Executive Branch, US Congress, and the public.' This amendment was filed the same week India launched Operation Sindoor airstrikes against Pakistan (May 6-7, 2025). Signed by Keith Schiller and George Sorial 05/09/2025.
Javelin Advisors (Sorial/Schiller/Seiden) represented 6 clients in 2025 for $3.4M total. Beyond Logical Strategies ($1.2M, EPA asbestos/chrysotile), clients included: Fred Daibes ($1M Q1, executive relief — pardon lobbying), Greg Lindberg (executive pardon), Capstone USA Advisory Group ($300K, Ukrainian private business technology/defense), NioCorp Developments Ltd ($400K Q4, critical minerals/government contracts), I-Mei Foods Co Ltd of Taiwan (defense/food/cybersecurity). The Logical Strategies EPA asbestos mandate was Javelin's single highest-issue payment in Q3 2025.
