Rand Paul: Investigate Obama officials who ‘concocted Russian conspiracy hoax’
www.washingtonexaminer.com ^ | March 25, 2019 03:39 PM | by Paul Bedard

The backlash has begun on top Democrats who pushed the claims of Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign.

Sen. Rand Paul today called on Justice to investigate the Obama aides who forced the false claims into public.

“Time to investigate the Obama officials who concocted and spread the Russian conspiracy hoax!” he tweeted.

And Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin demanded a probe into the efforts by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton campaign to spy on the Trump campaign.

“I’m very concerned that it’s becoming more clear that the Obama administration was able to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on our campaign based on phony opposition research from the Clinton campaign. Having federal law enforcement spy on a presidential campaign based on phony campaign research is really distressing and the true untold story,” he said.

Several Trump allies are shifting their attention to those who brought the claims to the public and that led to the appointment of a special investigator.

The anti-Trump campaign included dumps of false information about President Trump to reporters that disrupted the transition.

Several of the details are in this Washington Times story by Rowan Scarborough.

He quoted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher rapping the effort:

“In retrospect, we now know this is one of the worst transitions in American history,” Mr. Fleischer told The Washington Times. “On the surface, they played nicely and said nice things. But below the surface, it is clear several people in the Obama administration were doing everything they could to leave time bombs behind that would detonate all around Donald Trump and his administration.”

I agree with him.

It’s time for that investigation.

Has it? I hope so. But what exactly was stopping this avalanche from beginning 2 years ago? There was nothing to stop Trump and Sleepy Sessions from organizing their own Special Investigator regarding Clinton, Comey, Brennan, and dozens more.

Now, I’m afraid too much time has passed. Too much water under the bridge.

I don’t trust anybody there.

We need to hold them to it.

I dont know what’s true or not when it comes to conspiracy theories, but I’ve heard that the CIA and other shady groups love enticing congress folks into doing things that makes them easy to blackmail afterwards.

May be no truth to it. Wouldn’t shock me though.

“In retrospect, we now know this is one of the worst transitions in American history,”

Is there anything in the entire sordid, sick, demonic Obama Presidency that wasn’t amongst the worst in American history?

Rand Paul & Company can start with the true culprits, Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton. I would add that traitor...John McCain...but he is dead and dead men do not talk. Just grab a hold of low life scum & vermin, James Clapper & John Brennan....they will sing the nasty truth to save their own useless butts. Grow a spine Republicans like your leader, POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! We, the people are waiting...Rand Paul & spineless Republicans!!!

Go POTUS, Trump....MAGA!!!

But to listen to the MSM these last 2 years you would think Trump and company did all these things.

This all comes under the heading of “the public must be prepared”...meaning, it’s necessary to bring public opinion along gradually by generating discomfort and a demand for knowing the truth. Otherwise just blasting stuff out would overwhelm most, drive markets and foreign partners into turmoil, and would be minimized by the media. Sort of like how getting a bucket of water poured on your head doesn’t produce the same effect as the slow drip of waterboarding.

A tipping point is not far away...

Let’s hope they follow through. If there is one thing we’ve learned about Republicans and Democraps is that when it comes to justice, Republicans are all talk, Democraps take action even when no crime has been committed.

Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Clapper and Lynch should have all been arrested Day 1 of the Trump administration. Someday the truth regarding Jeff Sessions will become known. It won’t be pretty.
