Up Against Putin (with Bill Browder)

Few people know more about Vladimir Putin — and his financial schemes — than Bill Browder. Browder, an investor and a political activist, is the architect of the Magnitsky Act, which allows the US government to sanction foreign nationals who have perpetrated human rights abuses. He joins Preet to discuss his new book, Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, State-Sponsored Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath.  Plus, the federal case against the Brooklyn subway shooter, the utility of the Jan. 6 Committee’s referrals to DOJ, and a civics lesson on the US court system.   In the Insider bonus, Browder tells Preet what he really thinks about lawyers.
