When it comes to whether the Trump administration has questionable ties to Russia, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul admitted Tuesday that he’s not interested in finding out..... No, of course not...he's a republican. "I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party." Of course not...see above. Besides the fact that Paul essentially admitted that only Democrats should be subject to investigations, there are three things particularly troubling about his comments: 1. He thinks the President has “handled the situation.” First and foremost, Trump has known for weeks that Michael Flynn was lying about his interactions with Russia. If Paul’s definition of handling a situation is to force Flynn to resign only after the story gets widespread media attention then, certainly, Trump has “handled the situation.” 2. He doesn’t think it’s “useful to be doing investigation after investigation.” Really? Where was the Kentucky senator when Republicans in Congress were wasting taxpayer dollars doing “investigation after investigation” into the non-scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton and Benghazi? How about her emails? Now, after a legitimate scandal surfaces and prompts bipartisan outrage, he’s grown tired of investigating things. 3. Investigating the Trump administration’s ties to Russia is distracting the GOP from repealing Obamacare. Instead of being concerned that an incoming administration was working with a foreign state and undermining American national security prior to even taking office, Sen. Paul is concerned that this whole mess will distract Congress from taking health insurance away from more than 20 million Americans. Yea, better than worry about a national security advisor of the US exec. branch meeting with and talking to Russian govt. officials etc., let's get back to our important stuff...yet more partisan attacks on the previous admin. laws, say too...bank regs. coal regs. and labor law.
