Donald Trump's inaugural committee chair, Tom Barrack, was acquitted on all counts Friday at a federal trial in which he was accused of using his personal access to the former Republican president to secretly promote the interests of the United Arab Emirates.

The jury deliberated three days before finding Barrack not guilty of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, obstruction of justice and making false statements. Barrack had vehemently denied the charges.

Barrack, 75, is an old friend of Trump and is a California billionaire who chaired Trump’s inaugural committee. He was among of a long line of Trump associates to face various criminal charges.

A US court, under control of Foreign Agents, fails to fool the Jury and fails to convict Tom Barrack.

Justice prevails, this time.

No. He was among a long line of Trump associates persecuted by the DOJ because of his relationship to Trump.

The people who are trying to scare voters saying that voting for Republicans is voting for an authoritarian government are the same people who only use the laws on the books against their political opponents.

IF they ever get around to Hunter, it will be plead done to jaywalking or something. Maybe.

How much did his defense cost? That alone would wreck the life of a normie.

With the vicious lawfare directed against Republicans, how could any ordinary person even consider working toward a political seat or associating with anyone who has?

Nothing but harassment.

The DOJ doesn't care about or even understand what their destruction of confidence in our institutions means.

It sets human civilization back a notch....and it's not something that a globalist oligarchy or dictatorship can restore if that's what they're thinking.

Yes.

The US court was under the control of Foreign Agents.

If it was not, the case would have been immediately dismissed as it was obviously a political prosecution.

You pointed that out yourself: He was among a long line of Trump associates persecuted by the DOJ because of his relationship to Trump.
