One comment. Imo as ex prosecuting atty., asset seizures under these executive orders (this and foreign elec interference one) would be so devastating in part because the executive order allows asset seizure without a court order. It’s akin to the drug asset forfeiture laws....state or feds seize all your money and property and basically put the burden of proof on YOU to prove that the assets are not ill-gotten. The law doesn’t say that, but effectively that’s how it works. Example: Authorities seize a drug distributors assets and put them in jail. Defendant then has limited resources to fight charges and attempt to prove assets weren’t procured with illegal funds. Typically some sort of deal is cut for less prison time along with asset forfeiture.

Once they seize your shit it’s really hard to get it back!
