Bill Browder On Magnitsky's Love of Rule of Law & How Law Never Rules Corruption W/O Enforcement
Sergei Magnitsky was William Browder's legal surrogate, and later, co-defendant, in Russia.
The Magnitsky Act has become a human rights law to protect capitalists.
Banning Russian adoptions was Putin's retaliation for the Magnitsky Act. How the act sanctioned, then angered Putin himself, is the reason Putin decided to secure his wealth more tightly in the West through the Trump Tower meeting, and get Trump to overturn the Magnitsky Act.
Sounds like a "likely story" of a narcissist, until you understand all autocratic government are rule of men, not laws, and going after Western money, starting with Browder, is personal. Just like Trump sees all attempts to "know" his money as Personal.
Seriously. It's really been all that personal.
Understanding Putin's Russia -- and Putin's attempt to sink Hillary Clinton's campaign to get Trump elected -- helps to understand Trump's network, which says, "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat." .
Today Putin owns 50% of all Russian oligarchs' wealth, and we in the West and U.S. are back to containment of Putin's criminal regime. I hope.
