In conversation with The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin this week, Browder was pleased to have been mentioned by the Russian president.
“This is an incredibly powerful tribute to the power of the Magnitsky Act,” Browder said. “This shows I’ve found Putin’s Achilles’ heel, that he’s very rattled by it.”

Why would it be a bad thing to have the Russian government question Americans about Mr. Browder, in the United States?
If we say that the Russian government can do this questioning, then the Russian government can't accuse us of obstructing the Russian investigative or judicial process. Then the Russian government can demonstrate its ideals of legal process, preferably live on American (international) television.
I'm sure that the resulting publicity would be educational about the Magnitsky Act for thousands, if not millions, of people.
