Rand Paul to travel to Russia after downplaying election meddling
Source: The Hill
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday announced he will be heading to Russia in the coming weeks, arguing that the U.S. must pursue a constructive dialogue with Moscow.
Paul published a Politico Magazine op-ed titled "Trump Is Right to Meet Putin" in support of Trump's historic summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.
"In just a few weeks, I will take my own trip to Russia in an attempt to discuss common ground with their leaders and help prevent further, unnecessary escalation of tensions," Paul wrote.
"I look forward to consulting with Trump between his visit and mine and to working with diplomats from both countries to have a successful trip and better relationships," Paul continued. "Millions of lives could be at stake."
Paul has continually insisted the various investigations into Trump's possible ties with Russia is a "witch hunt" and "hoax," echoing Trump's opinions on the investigation.

It's obvious what that 'No' Vote on Magnitsky was intended for.

It's also kind of high irony that he's named after a Russian émigré, one whose core philosophy was that the rich are the oppressed.

He certainly isn't talking about Syria or Iran.
