The chair of former President Donald Trump's inaugural committee in 2017 was arrested Tuesday on federal charges in Los Angeles for illegally lobbying on behalf of the United Arab Emirates during the 2016 campaign and later while Trump was in the White House.

Thomas Barrack, 74, was hit with a seven-count indictment relating to trying to push the UAE's agenda in the US and shape the foreign policy of the previous administration. 

Barrack is the founder of the private equity firm Colony Capital, though stepped down as the company's chief executive in 2020, and in April resigned as executive chairman. 

He is a close friend of Trump, a relationship that dates back to the 1980s. 

'He is the only person I know who the president speaks to as a peer,' Trump's longtime political adviser Roger Stone said of Barrack in a 2018 New York Times report.  

Barrack was due to appear at an initial appearance in federal court in Southern California.  

Barrack was charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements during a June 20, 2019 interview with federal law enforcement agents. 

The charges were brought in Brooklyn.

[Fledermaus]

What a joke.

[butlerweave]

To see if he’ll spill the beans on Trump ?

[struggle]

With a name like Barrack he should get away scott free

“...conducted nothing ‘short of a betrayal of those officials in the United States, including the former President’ “

The DoJustUs should arrest itself on the same charges.

[precisionshootist]

Still trying to get someone to turn on Trump.

Tell me again how many commie democrat criminals have been arrested? How many are in solitary confinement? How many have been financially wrecked from political prosecutions?

I hope Trump understands now what it really takes to make America Great again. Hint: Our side needs to end the nice guy era.

The ‘Big Guy’, Joe Brainless Biden, is a paid Chinese operative, as is his son, who has had highly profitable fake business deals with the Chinese military.

So they decided to go after another Trump official, having already ‘dispensed’ with Flynn.

Remember when then tool bag Sessions said he wouldn’t pursue democrats because it would appear political?

Joe’s enemies list beats Nixon’s by a mile

Interesting that the Podestas acted as foreign agents, were allowed to backdate their forms, amend their taxes and all is good.

[qaz123]

They are so afraid of him, it’s getting ridiculous.

[DFG]

What about John Kerry?

[eyeamok]

John Kerry has been acting as a agent of Iran trying to influence American policy for YEARS!! Why isn’t he in the dock?

[Major Matt Mason]

The "nice guy" era had to end while Trump was in office. If you try to get tough with the Marxists now (and probably into the future since our elections are officially rigged), they will simply arrest you for "sedition" or some other trumped up charge.

Look, a Squirrel..

More political persecution.
