By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (Public Law 114-328) (the “Act”), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)) (INA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets. The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons.
I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.
I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order;
(ii) any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:
(A) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse;
(B) to be a current or former government official, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an official, who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in:
(1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or
(2) the transfer or the facilitation of the transfer of the proceeds of corruption;
(C) to be or have been a leader or official of:
(1) an entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section relating to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or
(2) an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order as a result of activities related to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or
(D) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section; and
(iii) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:
(A) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:
(1) any activity described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section that is conducted by a foreign person;
(2) any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(3) any entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where the activity is conducted by a foreign person;
(B) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(C) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (iii)(A) or (B) of this section.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1 of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 include:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and
Hardly. They claimed Mueller was working for Trump, which has blown up in their faces. They claimed Tony Podesta was going to be arrested, still no Democrats arrested. They claimed Mike Flynn was excited to plead guilty to a felony, because they planned it all along, when Flynn was blackmailed into a plea over his son.
Now they're trying to pivot and say Sessions is going to do what they said Mueller was going to do, when Sessions is clearly recused. Anyone falling for their BS can't think for themselves, nor do they trust the President's own words that this is "a Democratic hit job" when that's clearly what it is. Their "insurance policy" you probably haven't even heard about.
This is so long it is time to repost the Executive Order:
Ok, wait. You are correct, I was wrong.
Tell me.
What are your thoughts on the media basically ignoring this?
PS. Your desperation and flop sweat at Mueller not taking out President Donald J. Trump is showing. The Deep State couldn't even prevent the emergency executive order.
(Aside: I wonder if GoldenTroll is working for McCain, or Romney, or David Brooks; or Obama? Heh heh. As if FReepers hadn't heard of the 'Insurance policy'. Condescending to one's superiors is one of the signs of a libtard.)
Scared sh*tless, or their handlers are too busy sweating hand grenades to have come up with or distributed talking points.
More name calling, and inability to actually hold a debate. I’ll post it again. What exactly do you claim is incorrect, and what is your proof?
Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation is the deep state’s “insurance policy” you probably haven’t heard about out in mind control land. It’s not there to support the President in taking down Hillary, contrary to your Twitter handlers. And as long as it’s still operational, and filtering through illegally obtained e-mails, and forcing more and more Trump team members to testify under oath, it’s still a threat to the President. “Drumpf” you called him, if you’re having trouble keeping up.
Maybe this can be the nail in David Brock’s coffin.
What are your thoughts on the media ignoring this?
The light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
Lotsa places talked about the texts and the "insurance policy": I referenced them upthread where I pointed out they talked about 'Andy' down the hall implicating McCabe, so I obviously knew about it. Like I said, condescending to one's superiors is the sign of a libtard.
And you're STILL desperate to distract from the EO. So, who do you think gets arrested over Uranium One first? And what of Hillary's mysterious 'broken toe' boot, and McCain's boot which changed legs?
The media hasn’t really covered any of Trump’s executive orders, so it’s not unusual or expected they would cover this one, either. They’re too busy trying to sell the Russia investigation, so if they would have reported it, it would have probably been some sort of spin that he must be a fool for putting an order in place that he himself is sure to be guilty of, or some other similar BS, don’t you think? Thanks!
You really aren’t very good at thinking on your feet, are you?
Goodness I hope Soros is in there.
If you think I am going to bother to read your droppings, you are mistaken.
The pace of the developments is accelerating.
More detail is emerging about the dossier and its handling.
This story has Brennan’s and Zero’s finger prints all over it.

Absolutely. They’re waiting for talking points while the big dogs are so freaked they don’t know what points to manufacture. And right before big Christmas weekend and this may clog up their ability to try to cover tracks, contact people, and whatnot.
Huh? Show me some evidence it's even going to be officially investigated, other than the CIA plant at NBC News that floated that red herring to give Sessions some cover yesterday.
Did you not see the shouting match between Sessions and Jim Jordan during Sessions last appearance in Congress over this? Probably not, since your twitter handlers didn't cover it since it doesn't match their narrative.
Even though Sessions had already testified he was completely recused from anything potentially to do with the Clintons, that sure didn't stop him from letting Jordan and the rest of the oversight committee know that he didn't care if they were calling for an investigation or not.
But Congress isn't about to give up in their war against the DOJ. Yesterday Stewart said the report they're working on will cause heads to explode when released, hopefully in January. That will hopefully then give Trump the political cover he needs to wrest control of the DOJ back and clean house.
