May 12 | Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) spoke on the Senate floor about the importance of holding Russian President Vladimir Putin and his oligarchs accountable for their aggression toward Ukraine. They called for Congress to take action to help federal authorities seize oligarch assets – like the mega-yachts, private jets, mansions, and expensive art belonging to Putin and his cronies – and use the proceeds from the sale of those assets to aid the people of Ukraine.

From the beginning of told you where I stand those things haven't changed already said I hope everyone remembers what I first said and if it's not if it's still me that they question then maybe really the problem is that they question themselves and what side they stand on in all of this
Whitehouse: cares about justice and wants to right oligarch wrongs stealing Russian wealth.
Senator Graham: cares about owning Ukrane metal and mineral wealth for the Koch bros so that he can get his cut ?!?
When will you destroy american kleptrocracy ???
I admire Sen Whitehouse. I cannot understand why he does not use his considerable expertise to analyze 9/11. No person of minimum knowledge believes that two planes fueled by kerosene brought down 2 100 stories skyscrapers! Within minutes of each other.
Not to mention the Solomon building which collapsed into its own footprint later that evening.
Within days, while the debris was still smoldering it was shipped to China. Until and unless we get to the bottom of this our country will never be safe.
US Corporations = Oligarchs stealing U.S. citizens money, human rights, and government.
I never in my life thought I would agree with Lindsey Graham on anything well I was wrong
Graham needs to figure out which side of the seesaw he, she sits on!!!
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is a national treasure. If you haven't listened to his "Scheme" speeches, you should. Well thought out, well researched, wonderfully delivered, revealing the dark money owning the conservatives on the SC.
Thankfully, sometimes Graham does the right thing. Most the time, no, he doesn't.
He's talking to a crowd of people who're just jealous of the oligarchs.
To whom would these oligarchs’ assets be sold? The filthy rich in USA who are possibly also involved with dark money schemes? To Saudis? To Chinese?
9:30 “Hitler wrote a book: somebody should have read it” Didn’t Trump keep a copy by his bedside?
🐀🐀🐀 YOU BETTER NOT GIVE THAT RAT A PENNY.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STOP FUNDING THEM STOP BEING HATER AND JEAOULS LET THEM HAVE IT GOOD LUCK KEEPING UP WITH THE LIFESTYLE THAT IS IT!!!
TRUST ME IT TAKES TONS OF MONEY TO KEEP UP WITH THE LIFESTYLE TELL THE GOOD LUCK MAINTAINING 👍 💯 👌
So next time when they get the money to maintain their lifestyle and you look at your right hand a thief always a thief
This could not have happened in the previous administration because of Trump's Russian business connections, and has been watered down in the UK because of Russian oligarchs' corrupt relationship with the British Conservative Party.
we should develop a similar bill to capture American billionaires and corporations who skip out on paying taxes!
Sheldon Whitehouse for President. He has my vote.
Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
Senator Sheldon, you have proved you deserve and earned your position in government THANKYOU AND THANK GOD 🙏 YOU'RE in you're position..
Bless and thank you and your correct..
Sorry made a mistake with the Name..it's Senator Whitehouse ..NOT a Senator Sheldon ..sorry 😞
Senator WHITEHOUSE is the blessing I was referring to..Thank you.
What a man!! Wish he would run for potus. I wish you had the authority to remove Trump's idiots he nominated for office…Kari lake's H. Walker's etc.!! What is taking so long to take the $$ from the OLIGARCHS? Frankly why is Graham in the debate, he can't be trusted!!!
This is how it should always be. A mature, civilized cooperation between the sides for a common goal; the fight against dictators.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! I wish we had more like you. Keep fighting the good fight!
When all said is done…concentrate on American wannabe oligarchs…some of whom have their goal of making the USA a carbon copy of Russia. Like the ONE family that has funded the packing of the Supreme Court.
👏 👏 A real bipartisan bill by real American senators. How did the peanut circus of incompetent maga clowns get hold of Congress?
Shame on those who supported those ignorant, incompetent maga clowns such l.boebert, m.tgreene, jsh.howlley, mgaetz, k.mccarthy, t.cruz, and the ignorant puppets in Congress following HunterBiden's laptop, just to mention some of them…..!
Whitehouse for the White House
God bless all who have tackled this issue.
Bravo, Senator Whitehouse!
Thank you, Senator Graham. You prove to me that you don't have to be a complere asshat at all times. Bravo.
thaus putins
