rand paul just called the Mueller investigation a 'witch hunt'

[spanone]

he thinks the special counsel is unnecessary

says Obama should have done more.

fuck him.

*edit: On CNN with Jake Tapper

1. "The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin." - John McCain

[VOX]

17. He and Bernie Sanders were the only two senators to vote against the Russia sanctions in 2017.

And I'll say no more.

[dalton99a]

19. +1

[Progressive dog]

20. K&R

Sometimes facts don't require explanations.

[Honeycombe8]

39. I agree. Rand Paul has become a Trump loyalist...he's also a racist.

He's the stupid guy who said that businesses being able to refuse service to anyone, even based on race, is fine, because business interests will prevail and prevent discrimination. I kid you not.

I guess he's too young to remember that blacks were, in fact, refused service to most businesses in the south, despite so-called business interests. Hate trumps profits. And when you refuse to serve, that impacts a race's ability to make money...which in turn means that continuing to refuse service doesn't affect your profits much, since they don't have much money, anyway!

I remember in elections past that some Democrats were going to vote for one of the Pauls...either Rand or Ron. They thought their being libertarian (they are socially liberal on some issues) meant they were like Democrats. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are anti-government, which makes them socially liberal in some ways, and anti-protection of rights in other ways.

53. McCain nailed it. He's a Russian asset too.

Something's got to give in Kentucky... that entire state has been co-opted and I suspect it is one of the states Putin targeted.

[superpatriotman]

2. He is a scumbag

Can you imagine if we investigated the white collar crimes of all business people, Jake?

So many talking points and Jake is letting him off.

Kentucky! Get rid of this bad neighbor.

[spanone]

4. he's so full of shit.

[Eyeball_Kid]

32. Maybe not so much. Imagine if Rand Paul got Russian campaign money.

Would he then have a rational reason for calling Mueller's investigation a witch hunt?

You bet your ass he would.

[Siwsan]

3. The stench of panic and corruption are becoming pervasive.

This makes me think that he's been getting rubles, too

[malaise]

8. Looks that way

[marble falls]

30. Ron and Rand don't like currancy, no dollars - no rubles - gold.

[gordianot]

5. That would be an act of real disgust.

But just think how satisfying it would be to punch him in the mouth like his neighbor did recently.

[spanone]

6. and now the conversation coming up...'why didn't Obama do more'

the media is back in campaign form

[oasis]

7. Paul's taking up for Russia and criticizing the role of NATO.

[spanone]

9. David Gergen: Rand Paul has it all wrong on this

thank you

[malaise]

10. M$Greedia should ask everyone of them about this

https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/read-the-transcript-of-the-conversation-among-gop-leaders-obtained-by-the-post/2209/

[dalton99a]

12. Yep. "What's said in the family stays in the family"

Ryan: The Russian’s hacked the DNC...

McHenry: ...to get oppo...

Ryan: ...on Trump and like delivered it to...to who?

[Unintelligible]

McCarthy: There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump...[laughter]...swear to God.

Ryan: This is an off the record...[laughter]...NO LEAKS...[laughter]...alright?!

[Laughter]

Ryan: This is how we know we’re a real family here.

Scalise: That’s how you know that we’re tight.

[Laughter]

Ryan: What’s said in the family stays in the family.

[GoCubsGo]

46. Now we know who that unnamed Congressman that came up

in Fridays indictments is. Roherbacher. No surprise there.

[spanone]

14. they're all fucking traitors.

[roscoeroscoe]

11. Paul appearantly doesn't know how to read

I mean, I know the facts about this, what's his problem?

Sarcasm y'all

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. "Witch hunt", eh? That's clever and original.

I don't think anyone' ever called it a witch hunt until now.

Good hunting, Mr Mueller.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Does that mean we get to burn him at the stake?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

54. I think first we have to see if he floats.

[greymattermom]

29. He mispronounced it.

It's "vitch hunt".

[Hortensis]

15. All Repubs still in national office are collaborators

with our domestic kleptocrats and now with Trump and Russia. All those who wouldn't agree to fall in line completely with the intense corruption were driven out of office well before this.

This is just more of the usual from Paul. Pretense of not being in line dissolving away.

[spanone]

16. think about it, trump's reaction to the indictments is to blame Obama, not putin.

not a WORD about putin

[oasis]

18. I'd like to send Paul's neighbor a fruit basket. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. I'll chip in

[EricMaundry]

21. Just another GOP collusion monkey

Attacking Mueller is offering aid and comfort to the enemy. Something Trump is also doing by going to Helsinki to share a private hotel room with Putin.

[Eyeball_Kid]

33. Trumpy brings the lube.

[EricMaundry]

35. Yeah. After all, it's his ass.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. Randy

Your patron saint must be spinning in her grave

[spanone]

31. bet randy gets a nice 'thank you' call from trump and a tee time

[Corgigal]

23. Might be time to picket

in front of his gated community with signs. Traitor lives here.

I'm sure his neighbor will love that. Wink, wink.

[RhodeIslandOne]

26. Fuck Rand Paul

Also, Fuck Ron Paul

[Zoonart]

28. This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beachbum bob]

27. obviously lots of witches being caught....

GOP is in panic mode as they have no good direction to take

its glorious watching this all unfold.

[SunSeeker]

34. That squirrel on his head must have eaten into his brain. nt

[czarjak]

36. He'd have loved for Obama to do the right thing, huh?

[Qutzupalotl]

42. Exactly

or as one patriot put it,

Link to tweet

[malthaussen]

37. They must have something on him, then.

Somebody gave him the heads-up.

-- Mal

[sellitman]

38. He is on point.

The complicit TRAITORS in the GOP have talking points each week. This weeks was that it's all Obama's fault.

All of them will parrot this back any chance they can.

All we can do is overwhelm the voting booths every chance we get.

[Ohiogal]

40. Please, Kentucky

Vote this asswipe out the next time, and flush Bevin, too, while you're at it.

[sarcasmo]

41. Racist Rand siding with Russia, one of the many Treason Weasels.

[JDC]

43. He is ever right. Seriously. Never. You'd think he'd be embsrrsssed

About being wrong on everything.

[Autumn]

44. Fuck Rand Paul.

[spanone]

45. he's consistent in always being on the wrong side of everything.

[kairos12]

47. He is an example of why Drumpt will never, ever be impeached.

[roamer65]

48. Even his neighbors can't stand him.

[forgotmylogin]

49. You know what also floats, Rand?

Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Grape gravy.
Peasant 1: Cherries.
Peasant 2: Mum
Peasant 3: Churches, churches.
Peasant 2: Lead, lead.
Arthur: A duck.

[kentuck]

50. Rand Paul acts like someone who may have gotten some Russian money...

...in his last election.

Total irrational behavior.

[lame54]

51. Obama should have done more...

To quash this imaginary crisis

What never happened is completely Obama's fault

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. No wonder his neighbor beat him up.

Not saying that's OK but I can see the temptation.

[PearliePoo2]

55. Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. Kentucky sending their best as usual!

WTF?

Maybe he has an excuse? Perhaps oxygen was cut off to his brain after his neighbor kicked his ass, broke all those ribs and he couldn't take a deep breath?
