Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday blocked a resolution from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) that backed the intelligence community’s assessment of Russian election interference and demanded President Trump speak with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Sanders asked for unanimous consent to try to pass his resolution, saying senators “must act” if they are “serious about preserving American democracy.”
“The Congress must make it clear that we accept the assessment of our intelligence community with regard to Russian election interfering in our country and in other democracies,” Sanders said during a Senate floor speech.
Under Senate rules, any one senator could block his request.
Sanders’s resolution would also demand already passed sanctions legislation be fully implemented, move to protect the election system and “not accept” interference in Mueller’s investigation, including the firing of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]On Tuesday, Republican Senator Rand Paul slammed former CIA director John Brennan, labeling him “completely unhinged” and questioned his bias during his time with the intelligence agency.
FOX News host Martha MacCallum asked Paul about the comments made by Brennan that President Donald Trump is treasonous.
She played a clip of Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson where the Commander-in-Chief said of the former Obama appointee, “I think he’s a very bad guy and if you look at it, a lot of things happened under his watch. I think he’s a very bad person.”- READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Former CIA Director-turned-Twitter-troll, John Brennan went way off the rails Monday, calling Trump’s presser with Putin an impeachable offense.
Brennan claimed Trump’s presser with Putin exceeded the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors” then said it was “nothing short of treasonous.”
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

Fox News legal analyst, attorney Gregg Jarrett CRUSHED John Brennan shortly after he attacked President Trump’s presser as “nothing short of treasonous.”
Whenever John Brennan opens his mouth or tweets he removes all doubt about his ignorance. He clearly knows nothing about treason. The U.S. is not at war with Russia. He should read professor Carlton Larson's excellent analysis of treason in @washingtonpost on 2-17-17,
