Mr. Bill Browder posted some good news a bit ago about Rand Paul and SANCTIONS

Senator Rand Paul's initiative to remove Russia
sanctions was defeated resoundingly 20 to 1 at
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today.
One has to question the timing of this effort shortly
after he returned from Moscow.





Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) push to lift U.S. sanctions on Russian lawmakers failed on Wednesday, with his colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee questioning the motives behind the proposal.

An aide said Paul was the only lawmaker to vote for his amendment, which would scrap U.S. sanctions on members of the Russian Federal Assembly if Moscow agrees to lift its sanctions on American lawmakers. The 20 other senators on the foreign relations panel voted against it. The Daily Beast first reported that Paul would be introducing the amendment.

The Kentucky lawmaker’s push to normalize U.S.-Russia relations comes a month after he traveled to Moscow and met with Russian lawmakers. During that trip, he invited members of Russia’s legislature to visit the U.S. But many of them are subject to U.S. sanctions and are therefore unable to travel to the United States.

Why did he go to Russia in the first place? How is he directly connected to the Russian scandal? Is this a new love of Putin or an old one?
