Why didn’t anyone notice? Because master psychologist Donald J. Trump distracted all of them with his offensive words and outrageous tweets? The whole liberal universe was so thrown out-of-wack by Trump’s tweets and strategic use of the word “sh*thole” they didn’t even notice that many of their liberal and big government heroes are about to be sent to prison.
But....I did find this in a Washington Times article after doing a little digging and reading the EO . Please note the last paragraph. So much for Trump collusion. The Russian are looking for a rollback on sanctions and get hit with more.
"The Treasury Department also imposed sanctions Wednesday against five Russian and Chechen individuals under the Magnitsky Act, including Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who is considered a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was designated for extrajudicial killings and other human-rights violations.
Three of those five people played a significant role in a multi-million-dollar tax fraud scheme uncovered by Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was arrested in 2008 and died in a Moscow jail.
The Kremlin has sought to have the Magnitsky Act reversed. In 2016, Donald Trump Jr. and other Trump officials attended a meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and Russian lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin in which Ms. Veselnitskaya has said one of her goals was to lobby Trump officials against the law."
