Rand Paul: Absolutely Subpoena Obama Officials on Spygate
The president was at lunch today and he voiced his support for investigating the people who concocted this hoax, Paul told Breitbart News. He didnt use the word hoax, those are my words, but I think we should get to the bottom of this and he believes we should get to the bottom of this because this should never happen to another president. He feels that its damaging to the country, damaging to the ability to lead the country, that we basicallysomebody within the Obama administration, within the DOJ and the FBI, basically concocted an investigation, trumped it up to be something that it wasnt and then weve gone through two years of the country being stalled because of this fake investigation.
When asked specifically if former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice should be called to testify about their role in the matterand be subpoenaed to force their testimony if they refuse to voluntarily complyPaul said: Absolutely.We have John Brennan, who lied to us, who spied on the Senate and tapped into Senate computers, Paul said. We have James Clapper who came before the Intelligence Committee and said they werent collecting all of our phone data. So both Brennan and Clapper have been known to lie in official testimony. They should be brought forward and asked what was their part? What was their role in ginning up this dossier? Amazingly, most media outlets wouldnt even print the dossier because they thought it was so unsubstantiated. And then all of a sudden, the FBI gives it credence. Theres one interesting story out today that says still no one would print it, so then Comey gives it to President Trump and thats when its been leaked and then we have a news story saying that this dossier had been given to the president and that became the hook or the story.
The Special Counsel completed his investigation last week, and submitted a final report to Attorney General Bill Barr. In a Sunday letter to Judiciary Committee leaders in both the House and Senate summarizing Muellers findings, Barr revealed that Mueller has cleared Trump on collusionfinding that Trump and his campaign did not conspire with the Russians to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that no other Americans did either. Mueller also revealed that he did not find enough evidence to charge Trump with obstruction of justice, and Barr confirmed that the president will not be charged in that regard.
I think its a terrible tragedy, Paul said of the investigation. It cost us $30 million, two years to go through all of this, the media has been so consumed by all of this that they have barely had time to report on any of the real news of the day. I think we shouldnt allow this to happen again to a Republican or a Democrat.
For now, the full Mueller report is not yet publicand Paul said he intends to object to its full release until such time as all the documents regarding the Obama administrations abuse of power to start this hoax investigation are also released.
My plan is to object to the release of the Mueller report and/or all of the Mueller information until they also release the complete information from the White House, DOJ, FBI, on why they chose to credit the dossier, Paul said. What were the discussions? And who was it who was promoting that the dossier was real? How did it come about? How were all these judgments made? So, the other side wants to read a million pages of Mueller report. Were going to want to read a million pages of how this whole Russian hoax got started.
This is the first part of a lengthy interview with Sen. Paul on Spygate in the wake of the Mueller probe clearing President Trump on all matters. More is forthcoming soon.
