"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 was charged in a seven-count indictment with acting as an agent of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018. He was 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. According to the indictment, Barrack and two other men charged Tuesday -- Matthew Grimes of Aspen, Colorado, and Rashid Sultan Rashid Al Malik Alshahhi, a UAE national -- capitalized on Barrack's status as a senior outside adviser to the Trump campaign to "advance the interests of and provide intelligence to the UAE while simultaneously failing to notify the Attorney General that their actions were taken at the direction of senior UAE officials." www.cnn.com/2021/07/20/politics/tom-barrack-arrested/index.html"Barrack then texted an alleged agent for the UAE: This "would give ABU DHABI more power!""

You do know that idiots are going to start saying "Barrack" Obama meddled and help to steal the elections from (quoting Stephen Colbert) "The Turd Reich", right?

His atrocious presidency was all a cash grab. Example—he gave an extra 6 months if secret service protection for his kids and a few others…and they stayed at trump properties!!! |

Weren't they convicted and Manafort, Cohen and Popoaopolus did time? Manafort Stone Cohen Papodopalous You are right. A few did serve a few days or weeks in prison. Manafort "was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison and in May was released to finish his sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic." "Papodopalous was sentenced in September 2018 to 14 days in prison after pleading guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials and a Maltese professor who told him the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton." Cohen "Trump’s former personal lawyer is serving a three-year prison sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic." "The day before Stone was due to report to prison to begin serving a sentence of three years and four months, Trump commuted his sentence." www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-bannon-associates-factbox/factbox-here-are-eight-trump-associates-arrested-or-convicted-of-crimes-idUSKBN25G1YU |

I think it's a HUGE mistake to release him, even if he has the darned ankle bracelet on. C'mon! This guy is truly extremely wealthy and intelligent and cunning. He works for other Countries (UAE?). I'd think that they could figure out how to get him out of here before his trial begins.
Sidenote: The "Melania & Me" author and Inauguration worker, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, is all over Twitter and podcasts, showing a bit of her "receipts" for proof of Barrack and others that took part in the Inaugeration scam. I hope that they'll truly pay one day!!

All he needs is private plane at a small airport to whisk him out of the country. Surely he has other passports.

This says it is far more serious for Barrack... But Dave Aronberg, the state attorney for Palm Beach County, Florida, told CNN on Friday that Barrack might be in even bigger trouble than the initial charging documents filed against him have led us to believe. While talking with host Jim Acosta, Aronberg broke down the massive $250 million bond deal that prosecutors struck with Barrack on Friday was an indicator of how serious this case really is. "Remember, this is not a FARA case -- that's for failure to register as a lobbyist for a foreign entity," he explained. When you are talking about what Barrack is charged with, it is far more serious. It is a crime of working directly with a foreign government." He noted that this is the same charge that Russian spy Maria Butina faced in 2018, which would carry a much bigger penalty for Barrack than simply failing to register as a lobbyist. "This is really serious for Barrack," he emphasized. "And the UAE used him as their own pseudo ambassador because he was so well connected. They asked him to develop a special 100-day policy proposal. That goes beyond just lobbying." Legal expert says Trump ally Barrack is in more trouble than we've been led to believe www.rawstory.com/tom-barrack-criminal-charges/ |

Just heard something, I have no links or documentation. It was just an opinion of a legal analyst.
IF he should run to a non-extradition country, like his alleged 'buds' UAE and/or Saudi Arabia, he would become a Federal fugitive. If any bank processed transactions for him they would become complicit, subject to major legal penalties. They same would true of any individual or group who tried to assist him.
Of course, I think there is a very good likely hood that he has monies in accounts all over, specifically outside the US.

CNN: his ex-wife, son and business partner are the backers for his 250 million dollar bond. The judge required them to be on zoom for them to fully understand what they were risking if he does not appear in court.. or runs.
His partner was released on 5 million bond.
Barrack does have electronic bracelet, turned over passports, cannot fly on any private plain etc.
