Ben Cardin: “Many believe that the Maidan was all about people wanting an honest government.”

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

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

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

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.
