POTUS can block all of (their) assets the moment he receives the DNI report on Dec 18th, but with the news emerging of Barr resigning on the 23rd makes me wonder if POTUS will hold off on using the EO until then. It would make a lot of sense if OPs were to go down during a holiday week, where families are at home and out of danger from potential FFs and would be gathered to witness the events that would take place.

Would this EO cause the entire internet to be paused? It would necessitate POTUS to communicate with America by EAS, wouldn't it?

Sec. 2. (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or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security:

(i) to have directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in a United States election;

(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any activity described in subsection (a)(i) of this section or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

(iii) 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 or interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.

Sec. 9. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order,there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order.
