The world's worst crooks and killers should be running scared. The law and the executive order President Donald Trump issued make it much easier for the U.S. government to single out and punish egregious cases of abuse. Included in the list were Artem Chayka, the son of the prosecutor general of Russia; Gao Yan, a senior Chinese security official; and Maung Maung Soe, who oversaw Burmese military atrocities against ethnic Rohingya.

"Today, the United States is taking a strong stand against human rights abuse and corruption globally by shutting these bad actors out of the U.S. financial system," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said, promising that the Trump administration would continue holding human rights abusers to account.

Liberals are offended and outraged that some of their heroes might be harmed.

Virtually every name on the list has been connected to the Clinton Foundation and/or pay to play

Does it apply to only foreign nationals? I only worry about some rat 🐀 like Obama coming along, and using it against conservatives, like he did with the IRS.

Are the libtards in Congress on the list? They certainly have committed their share of crimes—against all of us.

That “Q” is a pin not a pendant, as a pendant would be hanging from a chain or something similar worn about the neck. I’ll give you a pass for not knowing this since you are not a girl. :)

At the link (STar.com) these are literally the first words in the article;
“After months of conflicting messages, last week the Trump administration took a big step....”

It kills them to print anything neutral or positive about Trump so they HAD to start with “After months of conflicting messages...”

“single out and punish egregious cases of abuse.”

Would sex trafficking be an “egregious case of abuse”? I wonder.

Thanks for the pass :-)

I went back to get the link for you. I see it’s not on the addendum, it’s the webpage for John Gertler who is listed in the annex. On John Gertler foundation web page, it lists Bill Gates and Clinton Foundations. Sorry it’s less direct than I originally understood but I believe the vlogger included a review of that webpage because of the wording of the Executive Order “should” cover contributors to these persons.
Here’s teh link:

When I posted to you - I thought those two were on the annex when they are the contributers web page of someone prominent on the annex.
