Rand Paul calls for probe of Democrats over Ukraine letter
The Hill ^ | 10/13/19 | Justine Coleman

Posted on 10/13/2019 1:59:04 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday called for an investigation into the Democratic senators who sent a letter in 2018 to the prosecutor general of Ukraine requesting information on investigations into former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Paul dodged questions from Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" on whether President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani's interactions with foreign governments to get information on former Vice President Joe Biden bothered him.

"If anything's consistent here, both parties have tried to involve themselves in Ukraine," Paul said.

"If you're going to condemn Trump, you need to condemn the Democratic senators," he added. "It shouldn't just be one-sided."

You can watch the Meet the Press interview at the link (9 mins).

Chuck Todd was surprisingly restrained this week.

The honchos must have sat him down and said, 'We know you're angry but you're coming off as crazy. You need to tone it down'.

Todd remains relatively calm until about the 7 min. mark when he starts to talk over Paul and talks about Republican 'gaslighting'.

Todd starts putting words in Pauls mouth.

He’s different on NBC than he is on MSNBC.

Let me guess: it took 5 minutes before Todd could stop laughing, right?

Excellent point, expressing the Dem attitude.

But it is good that Trump doesn’t just fold, but attacks back.

It’s about time someone from the gop started to demand that Dems comply with the same standards that they hold the gop to.

I fail to understand why Republicans don’t think to take a SMART PHONE or an ANDROID into one of these Secret meetings and RECORD THE DAMN THING.

Then give the recording to Hannity, or Judge Jeanne or SOMEBODY.

A personal attorney seeking evidence to support his client from previous scurrilous accusations bothers the heck out of anti-American commie scum like Chuck Todd.

No due process for Orange Man!!!
