43. I don't think it's Trump's enforcement duty -- I would expect civil service State or Treasury.

Bill Browder's assessment of the impact of these new sanctions was that they were seriously damaging to Putin. As in everything unravels for him now, and he's going to spend all his time just trying to stay out of prison.

Russian oligarch money is about to become toxic. Browder said their accounts are going to be frozen by every bank in the world. If that happens, Putin is no longer the Strongman Protector, he's the Major Liability.

I think we should spend the next ten years fixing Russia's gangster problem. For good. The progressive common-sense Russians who have been targeted with murder and torture for trying to fix things would welcome our help. And that's the best revenge, rooting out every single last little conspirator anywhere that had anything to do at all in the slightest way imaginable with this @$@$% horror.

They need to go.
