This is not what the Magnitsky Act does.

Legally no of course not.
From an optics standpoint, absolutely stupid.

No, that was what it turned into. It was set up bc she claimed to have info against Hillary that would go help Trump.

Thanks bud. I have no fricking clue what it does, and don't care. I misquoted the article. Putin blocked adoptions in retaliation of the act.
There. You happy?

The Magnitsky Act bars several Russian officials from entering the U.S. because of their alleged role in the death of a Russian lawyer named Sergei Magnitsky. He died in jail under suspicious circumstances. U.S lawmakers took it upon themselves to punish his supposed killers, and this made Putin furious. He retaliated by putting an end to Americans adopting Russian orphans. There is a big push in Russia to get the Magnitsky Act repealed, and Putin says he will restart the adoption program if that happens.

I'm reading different headlines but it doesn't make any sense. I'm also reading it was a set up meeting by the DNC? What does everyone know about this?
Try Google.

Well, that depends on who you choose to believe, doesn't it?
Either way, it's fricking nothingness. If using oppo research generated from private, foreign sources is a crime than maybe trump can share a cell with every dem who used the Steele dossier.

Odd, considering you showed up in this thread pretending like you didn't know shite about the subject.
I ve already directed you to the circa article. They've been one of the few accurate outlets on Trump. But believe what you must. Either way, meeting with someone from another country is not wrong. I do it everyday, and alas, I am not in jail!

According to Trump Jr it was presented as "campaign information"-- not specifically dirt on Clinton.
Which is ironic considering this Russian lawyer is directly tied to the firm that Clinton and the DNC used to MANUFACTURE oppo research on Trump in the form of some horseshite dossier

Because at that point I only read articles from liberal outlets, then once I read your link I went to blaze and drudge and breitbart.

DNC set up a meeting between Trump associates and Trump Jr in an attempt to continue the Russia Collusion bullshite story.
The meeting between Trump Jr. and the Russian lawyer was not set up by the DNC.
The meeting was set up by a Russian named Agalarov, the Russian producer of the Miss Universe pageant held in Russia. Trump Sr. also appeared in a music video in 2013. that was produced by Agalarov and starred Agalarov's son.
The female Russian lawyer Trump Jr. & Company met with had been working to try to get the U.S. Magnitsky Act sanctions on Russia reduced or repealed. In response to the Magnitsky Act sanction, Putin had retaliated by cutting off all Russian adoptions by Americans.
So there is the connection to Trump Jr's misinformation about the meeting being originally called to discuss Russian adoptions.
Do you think it is a little suspicious that Trump Jr., Kushner, and Manafort would all be at a meeting called to discuss Russian adoptions in the middle of the campaign.
The meeting was on June 9, 2016. One might think it's a bit of a coincidence that Comey said the FBI's investigation into Russian intervention started in June 2016.
