Very powerful and damning testimony.

The fact that Trump has heaped anything upwards of a modicum of diplomatically required praise on Putin is unforgivable. The idea that Trump envies Putin's system of corruption chills me to the bone.

Are the Americans who receive money to lobby these causes (such as anti-Magnitsky) too lazy/unmotivated to research them, or are they completely devoid of conscience? Not necessarily an either-or type of question, I would guess that there's an entire spectrum there.
