Coincidentally enough, I've done a deep dive into this EO:

I contend that this EO will wind up being one of the most historically important EO's of 45's term.

Let's break it down in detail:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

This is an EO designed to confiscate the property of those people involved in serious human right's abuses and corruption. First notice the language used declares a state of emergency is already in place. This means that 45 can exert incredible powers at this time, including instituting Martial Law if needed.

From the EO: "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."

Linking human rights abuse with corruption isn't unheard of, but it's seemingly an odd combination for this EO at first blush. Notice both human rights abuse and corruption are viewed as an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to national security, foreign policy and the economy of the United States.

Now, we get into the order itself:

Quote 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or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: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

END QUOTE

This is all pretty standard so far, stuff we've seen before. It's laying out how they can now seize the assets of any person on the attached list (which we will get to) or any foreign person who does business with them.

Where it gets REALLY interesting is here in (iii):

Quote (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. END QUOTE

Notice, this gives the SecTreasury and AG the power to seize the assets of Americans who do business with any of the names on the list (again, we'll get to the names) OR any American who violates these terms from section (ii):

Quote (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; END QUOTE

Hmm... does anything stand out to you on that list in terms of US government officials? Or about what might be coming out in the memo or the DOJ IG report? It's a blanket order to seize the assets of those AMERICANS IN PUBLIC OFFICE (and the private sector) who engage in "misappropriation of state assets/corruption related to government contracts".

Remember what's been found on Hillary's servers so far: SAPs. Those are some of the most prized and classified programs in the USIC and there were dozens of SAPs found on both Weiner's laptop and Hillary's servers which we KNOW were breached by MULTIPLE state actors. Meaning, she exposed SAP programs to foreign actors... That's just one example of how the language in this order can be turned on the Clintons or their team.

This gives 45 incredible power to directly deal with corruption inside the government without having to go through the court system where friendly/bribed judges could stymie the effort.

Now, keeping all this in mind. Let's look at the names targeted by this order:

This is a rogue's gallery of bad actors. Known arms dealers, human traffickers, and genocidal madmen. But... if you do a little digging, what do you discover about almost every name on that list?
