EO Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption

White House ^ | 12/21/2017 | President Donald J Trump

           Schadenfreude

      My country ‘tis of thee,
      Progressive misery;
      here’s to their tears!

      Meanwhile in flyover,
      home of Deplorables,
      life is endurable,
      for at least 3 more years.

---

Trump has the retaliatory punch of Nixon,
the loquaciousness of Reagan,
the steel spine of Eisenhower,
and a practical vision never before seen in the White House.

I'm not great at Legalese, but I think the TL;DR of this is: If President Trump thinks you did something to hurt this country, President Trump will freeze any asset of yours falling within his purview, and then start looking for other ways to F*** YOU UP.

I approve of this message. And I love this President.

Well, now we know what Sessions has been doing.

Who an ague *for* them (except the kiddie-diddlers in the upper tiers of Europe)?

And, it give The GE Trump^TM either an in, or leverage, over all kinds of groups and individuals who were opposed to him and to the US on other grounds.

(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

The swamp can't advance each other multimillion dollar loans or play shell games to hide the money.

Thanks—I missed it before.

Bodleian_Girl was kind enough to send me a link.

[sparklite2]

Thanks! There’s more at my profile.

No need to speculate. There's a FAQ

Here’s the bipartisan letter, requesting President Trump take this action.

I “thunked” about it a bit.

Here is something no one has mentioned.

It gives Trump everything he needs to seize our uranium back.

I agree that Soros, the Clintoons, Rich, etc are screwed when reading this EO as well as is the “Deep State”.

[piasa]

Magnitsky Act has to do with the Russia sanctions and Russia’s response, halting adoptions of Russian children....

[I_be_tc]

Wow.

[RegulatorCountry]

Seems I recall there being some controversy over those adoptions in Russia to begin with, allegations of abuse.

Is this part of the results of Muellers investigation?

Is this part of the results of Muellers investigation?

No. From what I am reading, and believe me I am no expert, it seems to be a precursor to going after the Clinton Crime Family. I am hoping what I am reading is true.
