Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Tuesday that he didn't think it would be "useful" to investigate conversations between former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and a Russian ambassador that led to Flynn's resignation.

"I think that might be excessive," Paul said in an interview with "Kilmeade and Friends" first surfaced by CNN's KFILE.

Paul said that Republicans will "never even get started" with major policy changes like repealing Obamacare if they are focused on investigating their colleagues.

"I just don't think it's useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party," Paul said. "I think it makes no sense." He said that President Donald Trump has apparently "handled the situation," unless there is further evidence of wrongdoing on Flynn's part.

1. lol...

"I just don't think it's useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party,"

[itcfish]

16. But Hillary's e-mail and Benghazi Investigations

were very useful to the GOP, very very useful.

[Turbineguy]

2. What a coincidence!

It's true, things like this can really keep you from fucking up the country!

[delisen]

3. So his party is more important to him than the country. What's up when so many Republicans feel

the need to speak out against an investigation.

I wonder if McConnell is asking for volunteers.

[Liberalagogo]

4. So basicly

They've got dirt on you also, Lyin' Ryan.

[Ligyron]

5. Too bad.

It already IS being investigated by agents beyond your purview.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. It's always party over country with the GOP.

[NewRedDawn]

7. Rand my google eyed boy.

Concern noted & Fuck You & your Crazy old man too!

[simguy225]

8. "I just don't think it's useful to be doing investigation after investigation"

I know- there wasn't even any emails involved

[LisaL]

11. I am sure they would have no problem whatsoever doing

investigation after investigation if it involved Hillary.

[More_Cowbell]

9. Useful to whom?

Boy, they really are a bunch of petty tyrants trying to preserve their place at the top of the heap.

[LisaL]

10. I presume to republicans.

[Bengus81]

12. That's it Rand,keep it moving closer to a full blown Watergate scandal.

"And what we were elected to do we are going to do. Let others wallow in Watergate,we're going to do our job!"

Sound familiar Rand?? It should,coming from another Republican 43 years ago trying to derail an investigation.

[MBS]

13. Okey dokey, Rand.

Have fun twisting yourself into knots.
Republican congressmen on tonight's TV news seem to be suffering, too

[Ccarmona]

14. You're Right Rand

The phone call isn't the issue, it's who ordered it.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. So they cobbled together a talking point

because McLame said the exact same thing today.

[lagomorph777]

17. Add "Ayn" Rand Paul to the list of those who we should investigate.

Evidently he's part of the coup.

[Bayard]

18. Sigh....

Go away Rand Paul. Go away from Kentucky.

And stop sending me those damn emails!

[dalton99a]

19. Well, fuck Rand Paul and his whole damn family

[JTFrog]

20. It would be "useful" if Republicans plan on winning a single seat next year. Fuck them.

Go down in flames you piece of shit.

[Blue_Tires]

21. Remember that Ron Paul was one of the earliest people to

buy a first-class ticket on the PUTIN IS OUR NEW GLORIOUS AMERICAN GOD NOW bandwagon...
