Tom Barrack, a former adviser to former President Donald Trump, was charged Tuesday with illegal foreign lobbying on behalf of the United Arab Emirates for what federal prosecutors in Brooklyn described as an effort to influence the foreign policy positions of both the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and the subsequent incoming administration.

Barrack is charged in a seven-count indictment with acting as an agent of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018. He is also charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements to federal law enforcement agents.

Barrack was the chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, and while some of the charged conduct concerns the presidential transition, it appears unrelated to the inaugural festivities.

-Man runs on a "DC establishment is a swamp" platform

-DC establishment drums up legal charges against man's associates

-DC establishment brings no charges against any of its own members

And you think this diseased cycle of corruption vindicated you...how, exactly?

"Hunter Biden’s prosecutor rejected moves that would have revealed probe earlier

Veteran U.S. attorney David Weiss, known for his willingness to take on powerful Delaware figures, kept his investigation into Biden’s son out of the 2020 campaign"

If only this Barrack guy (who, let's be honest, none of us had ever heard of before) had been a member of the swamp, he'd be getting off scot-free right now.

Basically they did the same innocuous PR that legacy media did for certain campaigns, adding one-liners in speeches, shilling for moderate Islam in interviews, etc.

With no allegations of compensation.

He will follow a longstanding trend of pleading down to lying about downloading the message app, because the rest is trumped up bullshit.

"Show me the man and I will find the crime."

Pretty much everyone in DC has done SOMETHING in their career which violates some law or other...as long as you're on the inside and play the game though, you'll never face prosecution.

This guy's real crime is that he was in Trump's circle, and therefore on the outside of the establishment.

” Tom Barrack, a longtime friend of former President Donald Trump and the chair of Trump’s inaugural committee, secretly worked for the government of the United Arab Emirates for more than a year as he helped shape Trump’s campaign and presidency, according to a Justice Department indictment released on Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Barrack and two partners ― a U.S. employee named Matthew Grimes and an Emirati liaison named Rashid al-Malik Alshahhi ― illegally influenced U.S. politics on behalf of a foreign power. ”

So when will they arrest Jared Kushner and everyone else for working with and illegally influencing U.S. politics on behalf of the foreign government of Israel?

The notion that Trump and his ilk aren't anti-democracy "insiders" in 2021 is hilarious.
