DEVELOPING: Dec 18, 2020 Sec. of State @SecPompeo & Sec. Treasury @StevenMnuchin1 published coordinated Tweets at 11:30-11:31 am.Per @realDonaldTrump Exec. Order 13848, Sec. 3(b), Secretaries of State & Treasury must provide a Joint Recommendation (Interagency) on sanctions.
To better understand what *might* be hinted at by the coordinated Tweets of the Secretary of State & Secretary of Treasury, I recommend reading Exec. Order 13848, w/ careful attention to:
Section 3(a), (b)
Refer to Section 2
Refer to Section 1(a) https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/
Section 3(a), (b) Refer to Section 2 Refer to Section 1(a) https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-states-election/
Wrench in all of this is @ODNIgov indicated the Dec. 18, 2020 wouldn't be met by @DNI_Ratcliffe
Calls into question whether Sec 3(b) of Exec Order 13848 would yet be triggered.
Bottom line, it's all *Classified*, so we really don't know exactly where they are in the process.
