In this list, in particular, have included: Alberto Gonzalez (Alberto R. Gonzales) – former Minister of justice, Douglas Feith (Douglas J. Feith) – former Deputy Minister of defense for political Affairs, John Rizzo (John Rizzo) – former chief CIA legal counsel, Jay Bybee (Jay Scott Bybee) – former Deputy Minister of justice, William Haines (William James Haynes II) – a former General counsel of the defense Department.
As noted in the Russian depodesta, the extension of the notorious “Magnitsky list” has long been used by the American side “for baseless accusations against Russian officials, dealing another blow to bilateral relations”. “The US continues to systematically destroy their basis, regularly spreading false information against Russia, said the Russian foreign Ministry. – The tragic fate of Russian lawyer is nothing more than a “bargaining chip” unscrupulous campaign in Washington to discredit our country.”
