What John McCain said in May 2017 about Rand Paul was right--and it's even more right now

McCain: Rand Paul 'is now working for Vladimir Putin'

Sen. John McCain on Wednesday accused fellow Sen. Rand Paul of doing Russian President Vladimir Putin's bidding after Paul blocked an attempt to vote on a treaty for NATO membership for Montenegro.

"The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin," McCain bluntly said of Paul on the Senate floor following the dust-up.

The Arizona Republican, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, was joined on the Senate floor by Democrats Ben Cardin of Maryland and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire to push for debate and a vote on the treaty. But Paul, who has opposed further expansion of NATO, objected to McCain's request to consider the measure.

Russia has sought to prevent the small Balkan nation from coming under Western influence, and McCain warned about Russian attempts to destabilize Montenegro's government.

4. Putin-Puppets in the Congress

This is something that I don't think any investigation will uncover and they're going to get away with it. Many of us have been convinced for months that there are people in Congress who are not only doing Trump's bidding but Putin's as well.
