RAND PAUL: THE ONLY PERSON WE KNOW COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSIANS IS HILLARY CLINTON
The Daily Caller ^ | 2:26 PM 07/18/2018 | Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large

Posted on 07/18/2018 3:05:20 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says the only person whom he and others “actually know colluded with the Russians” is former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Rand was on Fox News Wednesday morning clarifying his stance on Russia’s election meddling and the intelligence community.

President Trump faced broad outrage over comments he made during the Helsinki, Finland, summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday. Trump was criticized for not being more forceful with the Russian leader and for not backing up U.S. intelligence findings of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Trump clarified his comments in a short statement at the White House on Tuesday.

When asked to explain the controversy, Rand said that the president thinks the Muller investigation is “tainted” by partisan Democrats that also colluded with Russia.

“The president sees the Mueller investigation. He sees all these accusations from partisan Democrats, Hillary Clinton, saying ‘Oh, he colluded with the Russians,” Rand said. “The only people who we actually know colluded with the Russians were Hillary Clinton who paid a British agent who paid Russians for information for the dossier.”

Rand was referring to the infamous unverified Steele dossier compiled by Fusion GPS and paid for by the Clinton campaign.

“[Trump] feels like the intelligence community cooked up a political and partisan investigation,” Rand continued, “but also, part of the Mueller investigation is something that should have investigated, and that is: Who hacked into Hillary Clinton’s emails?”

Rand concluded, “There is part of the Mueller investigation that is legitimate and part of it that is a partisan attack on the president.”

It’s a lot more than that - you need an updated meme.

President Grump needs to add this line to his repertoire.

President Trump has been saying the same thing, just using much different words.

Have to say I don't think I saw a spirited defense of President Trump coming from Rand Paul. I hope PDJT is paying attention.

Isn't it amazing how the corrupt are protected.

Yes, because we have journalists, we mostly have distortionists.

“....Why do you think the president is stupid?...”
Nope. I absolutely do NOT think the POTUS is stupid at all....quite to the contrary. He didn’t become a multi-billioniare by being “stupid”. Not by a long shot.
However, what did happen; he was conned into appointing this useless POS as AG, which, in turn, just happen to cause us to also lose a senate seat. IMHO, it has been his biggest mistake...so far. Seeing how the POTUS functions, he’ll likely rectify that “mistake” on the first opportunity when it can be done with the least political damage.

I certainly DID NOT INTEND to say that.
I was on my phone in the bright sun at a golf course in upstate NY.

I ABSOLUTELY meant to write:

“President Trump needs to add that to his repertoire.“

I HAD noticed that the iphone figured out how to spell “repertoire”, I was satisfied and I grabbed my 6-iron to hit a 172 yard second shot to land on the green.

I was satisfied about that, too.

“President Trump faced broad outrage over comments he made during the Helsinki, Finland, summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin”

No, he did not. The president exposed panic from the deep state traitors and the Goebbel’s propaganda press. He unveiled these rat nests of America haters for the American public to see.

A classic! “Demonic possession,” your #32 above, and Hillary slipping and falling deserve to be repeated.

Although Hillary is guilty, I expect Mueller will give her a pass.

Actually Hillary is not the only one. Bill Clinton, Steele, Obama, Eric Holder, Mueller, Rosenstein.... Jeb Bush?

I predict that by the end of Trump’s second term, he will have been blamed for every known crime Hillary and Bill have ever committed. The good news is, their projection will allow us to know all their crimes.

Slow down - Rand seems fine some of the time and has too much of Ron in him at other times.

Rand Paul is one of the very few good guys in Congress. I also listen to what he is saying. Don’t always agree, but I always listen.
