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or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: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
Only Imperator Rex does this. Show me evidence of someone else using that term, or a case can be started that you are one in the same.
“...current or former government official, ...”
Clintoons are ‘former govt official’s.
So are Comey and Mulehead.
Nice visual for a good day dream!
Give her cold left overs and an old thin blanket to lay on in her cold and barren cell.
Trump will will -- it won't even be the ghost of a shell of a contest -- but he had to suss out who was reliable in the GOP-e, the CIA, the FBI, the nominated staffers -- in real time, while being subject to the press, the "dossier," a crooked Special Prosecutor -- all backed by the full illegal cooperation and money of any number of foreign interests.
That meant he had to make absolutely sure of every element of everything in his counteroffensive: and that took time.
The look on McCuckold's face while announcing the passage of the tax bill; the look on Ryan's face at the same photo op; coupled with McCuckold's passing 17 judicial nominees in an hour yesterday, *and* announcing that in Jan. he would push Trump's immigration priorities instead of Flake and DACA -- indicates capitulation, in a way which indicates that McCuckold *knows* President Donald J. Trump has the winning hand.
The frenzied demeanor of MSNBC et al. coupled with editorials by such as Holder and Yates, indicate that the targets within the swamp *know* what's coming: but that they can't defend the other members of the swamp by name lest they suffer even greater legal repercussions.
How so?
Sorry but I don't see whether Trump knew if he was being surveilled would have kept him from being surprised that Rosenstein appointed Mueller less than 24 hours after being given the authority to do so.
As Trump said at the time "I'm being investigated for firing the Director of the FBI, by the guy who told me to fire the Director of the FBI! Witch Hunt!"
There's no way to know where this is headed. As you can see here, we can't even agree on where the battle lines are drawn. But the sources I quote are simply Trump, his supporters in Congress and the media, and on the other side those defending the DOJ starting with Sessions. If you simply listen to them, it's clear where the battle lines are.
(snickers).
Troll.
It is starting to appear that way, but that is definitely a change in McConnell's demeanor. We could also eventually see changes from Sessions, if not even Mueller. But if we do, it will be because they were beaten into submission, not because they were part of some grand conspiracy to work together in secret while giving every indication they were actually at odds.
This might just be the GO order.
(If it ain’t, it’s sure going to give somebody a world class migraine.)
I’m not a lawyer thank you Lord, but this seems to be open ended to go after all types of Deep State Crimes here in America and in the world if committed by Americans.
Then, you can bring in those who fund these crimes that could include UN Leaders and Deep World thugs around the world.
I, for one would like a lawyer who doesn’t speak Ivy League bs, to translate what this really entails and sets up.
Thanks for the admission you can’t find anyone else using the term “Drumpf” when referencing the President.
Even lawyers would be speculating, but it sure looks like planned punishment for some that are likely worthy of it, and could be targeted specifically for those like the Clintons. However, any time a weapon is created, it has to be carefully controlled, else it be applied to some that aren't deserving. As some pointed out, "human rights violations" could be quite subjective.
Both hands firmly wrapped around the chain, and pulling upwards very rapidly, and the “GIANT SUCKING SOUND” is starting to echo across the land.
Almighty God the Creator let your name be magnified and glorified, as your angels of vengeance and mercy sweep through this once great republic.
Restore what the locust have eaten... and hear the humble prayers of your people and restore this land.

They're scheming something, no doubt. Alex Jones has predicted an assassination attempt on Trump in the next 30 days. Hyperbole, almost certainly, but times are so tense he felt he could at least throw it out there.
Not sure who P is supposed to be.
It’s bantered about that Soros takes his orders from P, whoever that is.
The organ trafficking was an Indian guy. Not sure if he is connected to Clintons.
But Marc Rich is.
Rats! I missed the arguing!
Trump knew 'muh Russia' aka the dirty dossier was the proximate cause for the wire tapping (his vernacular). Ergo, logically it would later be used to justify both the recusal & SC appointment, and re-purposed as an impeachment vehicle after the FBI/DOJ failed to prevent his election. It's all very elementary: false statements procure warrant -> wire-tapping leads to appointment of (illegal) SC -> fight against illegal SC sets up charges of obstruction of justice -> political theater = impeachment. This was the play book for Watergate - the deep state is neither that bright or innovative, so they trotted out the same old stale script. Anyone even remotely aware of the routine would have recognized this back in January.
There's no way to know where this is headed.
Sadly GE, this is where you're beginning to omit a slight whiff of #NeverTrump. If you cannot, or will not, recognize or accept that Trump has already won, then you are going to quickly earn recognition as negative Eeyore. Now, you have great insight and commentary, so do you really want your opinions discounted/dismissed out of hand?
Evaluate the battlefield: Congress is Russia on the eastern front, doing all the hard fighting & heavy lifting. Sessions/DOJ and future appointment of a SC is the Allied build up in England awaiting D-Day to open up the second front. The EO is the Manhattan project, ready for the Nazis, but used on the Japanese because Germany collapsed so fast after Bastogne.
Txhurl had a funny comment last night: he thought he was going to be kept up all night listening to the air flights leaving DC. It's done - it's all over except for the crying. Those pussies and pushovers standing behind Trump on the WH lawn know the score. The one thing you have to hand to them is that those fvckers are savants at reading the (power) tea leaves.
