Ben Cardin: “It might be useful for the Small Business Committee to get input into the Banking Committee as we deal with this issue.”

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.

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?
