The perils of riding the Trump bandwagon, and possibly lining your pockets along the way:

Tom Barrack, the founder of Colony Capital and a former top Trump fund-raiser, was arrested on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Barrack and two others are charged with illegal efforts to advance the interests of the UAE in the US at the direction of senior UAE officials. They are alleged to have done so by influencing the foreign policy positions of the 2016 Trump campaign and then the new administration.

The indictment also charges Barrack with obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal law enforcement agents.

“While Trump may be prosecuted for financial crimes he potentially committed before he became president, what is most important to go after are his actions during his time in office, especially those after the 2020 election.” apps.bostonglobe.com/opinion/graphi…

- Obstruction
- Electoral fraud
- Insurrection

“Trump’s presidency didn’t just expose glaring legal weaknesses: It also made clear that our institutions are incapable of holding presidents accountable for breaking even our existing laws.”
