Hear "ADOPTION".. hear "MAGNITSKY" talk of one is about the other!
They are all over "adoption" this morning. They are NOT talking about Magnitsky. The adoption ban was instituted by Russia in retaliation for our passing the Magnitsky Act.
Putin HATES HATES HATES the Magnitsky Act, because it ties up all his stolen money stashed away in Western banks. And all the stolen money his FRIENDS have stashed in Western banks.
If you hear "adoption" and you don't hear "Magnitsky", there is smoke being blown where the sun don't shine.
