Love a leader who listens to his constituents.
- Yeah, that would be a pleasant change of pace.
So what was that about? Is there risk of Russian influence on the anti corruption organization ?
- Just politicians wanting to control corruption watchdogs, so they can be corrupt.
  He has reversed that.
  
  It's tricky because it could be both things. Russia excels at subverting well-intentioned rules.
  
  Worth noting that he also signed into law the earlier revocation of the independence of those anti-corruption watch dogs.
  It's good that he's reversed course on this. But concerning that he was willing to sign the first bill. Perhaps it's just a sign of the strain he's under, I don't know.
