Ben Cardin: “I would say the flip side of the coin would be doing too little because the law at this point is clearly in need of some…”

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.

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

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

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