Ben Cardin: “We believe Russia's decision to intervene militarily in Syria is a losing bet.”

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?

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.

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.
