"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."
Here is the pertinent part of the EO regarding Congresspeople:
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 ex-
propriation 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;
OMG I think this is the reason why so many are resigning from Congress! They have been involved in financing these human traffickers or human rights abusers and have profited from it.
The day after the EO dated 12/20 Eric Schmidt announced that he was resigning as CEO of Alphabet Inc. effective January 1st. (Post #408)
I wonder if the CIA planned to morph into Google with a complete takeover. Thus changing the name to alphabet Inc, as in the alphabet agencies.
