    .. and fast forward to the signing statement, that does exactly what this theory predicts.

    He is both dragging his heels, and puts out a signing statement that does everything it can to weaken the bill's implementation.

    Found it, and found where exactly the president's signing statement address that section. If you can't find it, ask politely, and I will give you the section. I would prefer you do your own work first though.

    I thought it had to be a trick question when the string "russia" got 89 hits on a simple text search.

    Thanks for the link, Darrin.

    What would prevent an ally of Russia's from funding the development of its own combat vehicles, aircraft, and military salaries? Do you think Putin's goal is to suffocate the US Military industrial complex?

    I mean, what a stupid thing to find contradiction in. Next you'll tell us Russia couldn't possibly be involved with the NRA because it doesn't want Americans to be armed.

    You completely missed the entire point I made, because you didn't read the signing statement, obviously. I guess I can set aside any animous and attempt to walk you through an exercise in critical thinking.

    Helpfully:
    What does the signing statement have to say about section 1241, specifically?

    Answering a question with a question isn't going to help you understand here.

    Again, read through the signing statement, and think about what the significance of signing statement are, i.e. the interpretation and intention of the executive branch with regards to the bill.

    Find the sections where Russia is mentioned, and see what the President thinks about them.

    So no thoughts on the actual actions of Trump.

    We expected none from you.

    So the Dear Leader once again, plays petty politics, and does something small-minded and unpresidential, and you got... "resis s".

    Someday, you will get your nose out of his ass.

    So Trump pretty much admitted to obstruction of justice.

    “I call it the rigged witch hunt, [it] is a sham,” Mr. Trump said in an interview. “And these people led it!”

    He added: “So I think it’s something that had to be done.”
    "whoever . . . . corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be (guilty of an offense)."
    But I'm sure you don't think the laws apply to Republicans.
