No, but it is later than your think...
It would not surprise me in the least were the answer to Senator Paul’s question to come in the form of a Hellfire missile zotting him at his local Starbuck’s.
Well, it seems that there is at least one guy in DC with cajones.
Fortunately, Rand Paul will be ignored on this.
I say fortunately because the overall objective is to turn
him into a non-person, and someone NOT to be contended with;
the last thing this Administration wants to do in engage him,
and thereby “empower” him. Doesn’t matter, his star is rising, and he’s becoming one of just a few major renegade voices still housed by the “GOP”. Ignoring him, happily, will backfire, and will IN FACT empower him. Having said that, I think the issue and the scenario as framed by Paul, are extremely unlikely to ever take place, and could easily either be ignored, or scoffed at by Brennan, as absurd and overwrought.

uh uh a dead corpse? maybe you are right.

Not sure what the CIA would have to do with it.
Also, this would be a very dramatic and public way to carry out an illegal assassination.
If one were to buy into conspiracy theories, one would have to believe that such an illegal assassination would take the form of Vince Foster showing up in Fort Marcy Park - not a guided missile landing in a restaurant at lunch hour.
That would be the opposite of discreet and easy to explain.
Much better than being "Left".
Not sure what the CIA would have to do with it.
What we need to know is who is GIVING THE ORDERS, so they can be dealt with by ambushes, "accidents", food poisoning, IEDs...cut off the head and the snake will die.
Who would be doing the ambushing, manufacturing the accidents, doing the poisoning, setting up IEDs in your scenario, exactly?
Hope he sticks to his guns on wanting an answer.
The same people who would be out hunting Redcoat officers and noncoms if this was 1776.
I see. So you are plotting to kill fellow Americans yourself.
Before there is even a shred of a hint of a whisper of evidence that there would ever be a drone attack by the US government against US citizens on US soil.
Think about how ridiculous that concept is.
He’s the only one who will ask the obvious questions and condemn the obvious abuses.

I am Right. More Right than most on most things. ;-)
Much better than being “Left”.
But we need to realize that the right has been watered down so much that many people would call a right an anarchist.
If one were to buy into conspiracy theories, one would have to believe that such an illegal assassination would take the form of Vince Foster showing up in Fort Marcy Park - not a guided missile landing in a restaurant at lunch hour.
On the other hand it would be hard to assassinate a large group of people in the same manner, it would have to be more dramatic, say like the massacre at Waco but much safer for the police.
This is very different from a Hellfire missile fired from a drone into a Boston cafe at lunch hour. There is no way the public would believe for a second - especially in this age of ubiquitous social media - that everyone in a public thoroughfare happened to be a wanted terrorist.
