Political Factoid

It appears the 2016 Trump
presidential campaign
was being promised an
election win, in exchange
for getting the Magnitsky*
sanctions lifted against
Russia.
 
* Imposed by Congress as the Magnitsky Act,
formally known as the Russia and Moldova
Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky
Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012,
a bipartisan bill intended to punish
Russian officials responsible for the
death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky
in a Moscow prison in 2009, and for other
atrocities.
