Rand Paul in 2016 acknowledged Russian interference in the US election to help Donald Trump but thought it "naive" and "partisan hysteria" for Americans to object to Russian interference washingtonpost.com/politics/rand-…
Rand Paul has consistently championed the concerns of Russian oligarchs thehill.com/homenews/senat…
In June 2017, Senate voted 98-2 to punish Russia for interfering in US elections. Rand Paul was one of 2 "nays" (Bernie Sanders was the other.) cnn.com/2017/06/15/pol…
It seems to be a family matter. Rand's father Ron Paul praised Trump's friendliness with Russia in a July 2018 interview on RT rt.com/news/433420-ro…
During Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Rand Paul cycled through a lot of positions - before finally publishing in Breitbart.com an oped urging the US to ... do nothing lest opposition to Russian aggression spark war breitbart.com/national-secur…
The Ron Paul Institute frequently republishes material from RT ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featu…

Ron Paul Institute staffers are frequent guests on RT rt.com/op-ed/authors/…
Rand Paul vigorously defended Trump's grab-the-notes-from-the-notetaker Helsinki summit with Putin nationalreview.com/news/rand-paul…
Rand Paul defended Trump pursuing undisclosed business opportunities in Russia while running for president realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/12/…
Deep into 2017 Rand Paul defended Russia against conclusive evidence that it hacked DNC emails, fanned flames of defamation of poor murdered Seth Rich to exonerate Russia realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/10/…
In 2018, Rand Paul defended Trump administration as it pressured Ukraine to refuse cooperation into investigation of Paul Manafort's dealings in Ukraine nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…
Bottom line: whatever motivates Rand Paul on Ukraine/Russia, it's not principled opposition to corruption. He has been a very good friend in Senate to Russian oligarchs; indifferent verging on hostile to Ukrainian democrats and liberals.

In light of Trump repetition of Putin false talking points on Ukraine, worth recalling the evening Trump and @TuckerCarlson swapped Putin false talking points on Montenegro realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/07/…
@TuckerCarlson Montenegro obviously was not "aggressive" in the sense that it might attack anybody. But in 2017-2018 at EU behest Montenegro *was* aggressively cracking down on money laundering and tax evasion ... inconveniencing Russians who parked and moved money through the Adriatic state
@TuckerCarlson You might imagine that elite Russian unhappiness at Montenegrin bank regulations would be too obscure a subject for a prime-time American news host interviewing the president. You would be wrong.

The following is an excerpt from Lee Smith’s book out October 29, “The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History.”

How The Obama Administration Set In Motion Its Coup Against Trump thefederalist.com/2019/10/28/how…
Obama was working against Trump until the hour he left office. His national security advisor, Susan Rice, commemorated it with an email to herself on January 20, moments before Trump’s inauguration. She wrote to memorialize a meeting in the White House two weeks before.
After refusing to act while the Russian election meddling was actually occurring, Obama responded in December. He ordered the closing of Russian diplomatic facilities and the expulsion of thirty- five Russian diplomats.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Fake Intel Reports On Trump-Russia Collusion Evidence Of Deep State Corruption newswithviews.com/fake-intel-rep…
“Contrary to what’s been said about the Obama presidency, he possesses a record of success in his recreating of an intelligence community that had became as complicit with the globalist Democrats as the majority of members of the U.S. news media and their New World Order plans.
A US agency such as the CIA will obtain the cooperation of foreign spy agencies to go after an American who is running for president as a Republican. Democrats appear to despise the United States while they passionately embrace the pseudo-religious New World Order.

A longtime #NRA attorney reportedly expressed “concerns” about the NRA’s ties w/#Russia🇷🇺and possible involvement in ILLEGALLY funneling Russian money into the 2016 election to help Donald Trump‼️🤬1/

h/t @traciemac_Bmore

mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
Former NRA board member Cleta Mitchell (also did legal work for them) is one of MANY people whom House Intel Democrats want to interview. Democratic Senate Intel investigators also are interested in what she may know about relationships btwn the NRA and wealthy Russians.🧐 2/
Get this. In addition to being a gun lover (of course🙄), Mitchell is an *election law specialist* and veteran conservative operative.🤨

Meaning: she should know that it’s ILLEGAL for #Russians🇷🇺to donate ANY money that is spent on political campaigns‼️ 3/
