Ben Cardin: “Recently, Senator Warren and I actually introduced a bill that we hope will get hot-lined soon.”

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.

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.

We need to consider how we deal with that.
