BOMBSHELL: Trump To FREEZE HILLARY'S ASSETS…
This Is ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE!!
Many analysts predicted that as soon as President Trump scored his first big legislative win
that the gloves would come off and he'd start draining the swamp, and it appears as
if that's exactly the case.Last week, the President quietly signed a powerful executive
order that allows the freezing of assets of a wide range of individuals, ranging from
foreign nationals, to foreign businesses, to U.S. businesses, politicians, and lobbyists,
if any of the aforementioned people were a part of corruption or human rights abuses.
In fact, Zero Hedge reports that the executive order basically applies to anyone in the world
who aided and abetted "serious human rights abusers" or who has been found to engage
in corruption, including "the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private
assets for personal gain, and corruption related to government contracts or the extraction
of natural resources."
Uranium One sound familiar?
What about the Clinton Foundation?Yeah, this is serious.
Zero Hedge reports:The Trump Administration quietly issued an Executive Order (EO) last
Thursday which allows for the freezing of US-housed assets belonging to foreign individuals
or entities deemed "serious human rights abusers," along with government officials
andexecutives of foreign corporations (current or former) found to have engaged in corruption
– which includes the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private
assets for personal gain, and corruption related to government contracts or the extraction
of natural resources.
Furthermore, anyone in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or
human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets – along with any
U.S. corporation who employs foreigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of
the company.
In fact, anyone in the world who has "materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
material or technological support for, or goods or services" to foreigners targeted
by the Executive Order is subject to frozen assets.
Yikes.
Everyone involved with the Clintons should be shaking in their boots now.
Also included in the order are D.C. lobbyists, many of whom work on behalf of foreign governments
guilty of some of the worst atrocities on the planet.
Last Week's Executive Order could have serious implications for D.C. lobbyists who provide
"goods and services" (e.g. lobbying services) to despots, corrupt foreign politicians or
foreign organizations engaging in the crimes described in the EO.
"Virtually every lobbyist in DC has got to be in a cold sweat over the scope of this
EO," said an attorney consulted in the matter who wishes to remain anonymous.
"Consider, what would happen if Apple, say employed a foreign national who bribed a PRC
official for government approvals?
How about a hypothetical case of a company like Northrop or Boeing where an employee,
or consultant, who is a foreign national bribes a Saudi official to direct government purchases
of airplanes and military equipment?
At least some or all of their assets could be frozen," said the attorney.
As far as Hillary and her cabal are concerned, we turn to Uranium One.
A former FBI informant claims to have video evidence of Russian officials using briefcases
full of cash to bribe those responsible for approving the controversial deal, which allowed
Russia to take control of 20 percent of America's strategic uranium reserves.Let's also not
forget about Tony Podesta, who ran the now-defunct Podesta Group.
Podesta was basically an agent of the Clinton Foundation, and his brother pushed strongly
to have David Adams, Hillary's chief adviser while she was Secretary of State, hired by
the Podesta Group so that there would be a "direct liaison" between the State Department
and the Russians attempting to purchase our Uranium.
And of course, there's also the hundreds of millions of dollars that flowed into the
Clinton Foundation as the deal was in the works.
To any objective observer, the money appeared to be used to bribe Hillary and her minions
to approve the sale.
A Zero Hedge noted:
Hypothetically, if the Uranium One deal is deemed corrupt by the Trump administration,
and "Russian nuclear officials" indeed routed millions of dollars to the Clinton
Foundation, and Tony Podesta lobbied on behalf of the deal for the Clinton Foundation – it
stands to reason that this Executive Order could freeze the US-housed assets of quite
a few individuals.
Of note, assets can be frozen with no prior warning, as trump has declared a national
emergency due to the "scope and gravity" of the threat posed by said individuals.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has just ordered a review of Uranium One after mounting
evidence seemingly proved the deal was made under suspicious circumstances, we previously
reported.
According to a bombshell report from NBC News, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered
the career prosecutors at the Justice Department to take another look at the original investigation
into the deal.
The report states that Justice Department officials have been interviewing the FBI agents
who conducted the criminal probe into the matter to see if there's a need for a special
counsel.
A senior law enforcement official who was briefed on the initial FBI investigation told
NBC News there were allegations of corruption surrounding the process under which the U.S.
government approved the sale.
But no charges were filed.
As the New York Times reported in April 2015, some of the people associated with the deal
contributed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
And Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a Moscow speech by a Russian investment bank with links
to the transaction.
Hillary Clinton has denied playing any role in the decision by the State Department to
approve the sale, and the State Department official who approved it has said Clinton
did not intervene in the matter.
That hasn't stopped some Republicans, including President Trump, from calling the arrangement
corrupt — and urging that Clinton be investigated.
In a letter to Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd said Justice Department
lawyers would make recommendations to Sessions about whether an investigation should be opened
or expanded, or whether a special counsel should be appointed to probe a number of issues
of concern to Republicans.
So basically, it appears as if the Trump administration is setting the stage to go to war with the
swamp, and they're using the full weight of the government to do so.
Over the summer, Attorney General Sessions ended Obama-era restrictions on asset forfeiture,
making it easier for the government to take over the ill-gotten gains of criminals.
Now, President Trump just signed an executive order singling out anybody who's engaged
in corrupt activities, regardless if they're government officials or not.
Between the two, it looks as if the gloves have finally come off.
