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

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.

We are going to do something about this.

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.
