Ben Cardin: “I think it is an opportunity perhaps for us to institutionalize a better public transparency on how decisions are made.”

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

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

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.

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