Just the implication that transparency is going to hurt Putin's Russia is prima facie proof that we need these rules. What payments to Putin does Rex Tillerson not want shareholders and the American people to see? Today, we should be demanding more transparency and not less from the most conflicted President and administration in history. We are now trying to make transactions less apparent. All my colleagues should reject this joint resolution, not only on substance, but it is an abuse of the Congressional Review Act.
