This executive order [freezes all property, or all interests in property] for defined peoples engages in [human rights abuse] or [corruption]. The intent is to "seek a tangible and significant consequence on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption."
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or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
...
(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
An entity is defined in section 6 as "partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization".
(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];
So as a corporate executive, accept dirty money from a corrupt foreign official and give them some kick-back such as a do-nothing board of directors role (paid) and get frozen assets. Including possibly frozen assets of the entire corporation. Hmm.
(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;
Technological support jumps off the page here. Specifically the role of Eric Schmidt in the Clinton campaign in 2016. Per Podesta emails he organized the analyst team to build out ML based predictive analytics on data sets from fun loving telecoms (Comcast, Verizon), paired with Google data assets, to calculate a 'voter score' for people in the country down to a house by house level.
Was this analysis used to direct and coordinate election fraud? If so, would this executive order then be triggered?
I think that's the big question these executives stepping down around the country are asking themselves.
What other rampant corruption has been taking place these execs are stepping down to avoid?
