e.g. ban all access from China and Russia and they can just hop on a plane to someplace else with internet access.

Originally posted by AtW View Post“ Washington (CNN)As his term comes to an end, President Donald Trump revoked a rule he signed early in his term that imposed a five-year lobbying ban for administration officials and a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign governments.
Trump had signed the order "Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees" within his first week in office as part of his campaign promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington.
But now, as he and his advisers depart the White House, Trump is presumably allowing for those officials to begin lobbying when they leave government.
The January 28, 2017 executive order required appointees to pledge that they will not "engage in lobbying activities with respect" to the executive agency they were appointed to serve within five years after "termination of their employment" -- effectively allowing them to lobby other areas.”
