Ben Cardin: “It is a pleasure to be back before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where I have very fond memories.”

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

It was originally a piece of legislation targeting the people who killed Sergei Magnitsky.

There is no reason why somebody should be sanctioned in America and not in Europe or not in the U.K.

Why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?
