Rand Paul: 'Time for Congress to investigate' Obama

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday that lawmakers should investigate President Obama, suggesting that he could have played a role in the years-long Russia investigation that concluded over the weekend.

In a tweet, the senator suggested that Congress should probe the origins of the now-shuttered special counsel investigation into Russian election interference and the Trump campaign, seemingly suggesting that Obama was involved in the FBI probe that predated it.

"I agree with @kimguilfoyle Time for Congress to investigate. What did President Obama know and when? How did this hoax go on for so long unabated?" Paul asked.

Obama reportedly was informed by the FBI in 2016 that it was investigating Russia attempts to interfere in the 2016 election, but according to multiple news reports was warned against going public with the investigation by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who warned that Republicans would see it as a partisan move aimed at helping Hillary Clinton.

3. Randal is getting an early start on the 2024 election...

Of course I'm old enough to remember when Rand had a *LOT* of fuckin' cheerleaders here on DU, especially back when he and Greenwald were buddy-buddy in their mutual war against the NSA...

(yes, I remember everything and I keep grudges forever)

7. Like with most five year olds

When you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar, point to the sleeping cat in the other room as a possible unindicted co-conspirator.

8. Does Rand Paul know that Kim Guilfoyle is Don Jrs. girlfriend and she "might" be biased?

Kinda like Bill Barr works for Donnie tRump and "might" be a little biased in his "interpretation" of the Mueller report...

[SlogginThroughIt]

9. Hmmm wondering what an investigation into Obama

Hmmm wondering what an investigation into Obama might turn up that they don’t want to turn up.....

[Takket]

10. do they REALLY want to do that???

Drumpf was just handed a get out of jail free card, and now they want to start rooting around in the evidence again? Surely they are not so ignorant that they actually think there is "nothing" in the Mueller report?

You start opening up lines of inquiry and you give Democrats the chance to start rehashing the Mueller probe under oath in front of Congress. That is NOT going to end well for the GOP. They are best to accept that they got away with murder and move on instead of trying to pin it on someone else.

18. I don't think so. They will find that Obama tried to warn and McConnel would not bring it before

the Senate.

[Takket]

19. Yup. If they want to open that can of worms, let them!!!

[madinmaryland]

11. Didn't they and randy Paul spen 8 years investigating Obama.

What the fuck is their problem??

[Ohiogal]

12. How in the world

does he fit all that stupid into one head?

[EleanorR]

13. Is that what Kislyak told you to do when you met with him in Russia last August?

McCain knew what you were up to.

14. Go ahead, asshole.

And, will you whitewash/cover up your findings when your investigation shows that Obama did exactly what he was supposed to do? And, will the American people get to hear how many of their tax dollars you wasted on your petty stunt?

[UniteFightBack]

15. What hoax? The hoax that Mueller just confirmed? Fool. nt

[Yavin4]

16. And the media and some Dems lose their shit at whatever AOC says

But when Rand Paul says something like this, crickets.

Note, I'm not remotely comparing the two, just how each statement is covered in the media.

[BlueIdaho]

17. So that means that after Trumpsky is out of office

We can investigate him without his meddling and obstruction? Nice precedent...

[clementine613]

20. It's Time for Congress to investigate Rand Paul.

Yeah, I know what you'll say... "for what?"

He's a Rethug. That makes it certain that he's a criminal of some sort or other. We just have to find it.
