Today in Rand Paul

This happened a little while ago.
Let's have a check in:

The Department of Justice said they don't have enough evidence.
By Oliver Willis -November 25, 2020 9:26 AM

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) complained on Tuesday that the Department of Justice has declined to investigate protesters for yelling at him in August.

"The DC U.S. Attorney today confirmed to me that they will not pursue an investigation of who is funding the thugs who attacked my wife and me and sent a DC police officer to the hospital," Paul wrote on Twitter.

After leaving Donald Trump's Republican Party nomination acceptance on Aug. 27, protesters hounded Paul and his wife. Video of the encounter shows no violence directed toward Paul, while one police officer was jostled and stumbled to the ground.


"This office will only prosecute individuals or groups of individuals when enough evidence exists to both identify and criminally charge bad actors and it will never waiver in meeting that burden as the law requires," said Sherwin, who did not directly address Paul's complaint.

The day after the protest, Paul took to Fox News to complain about what happened and, without any evidence, made accusations about how the protesters got to the capital.

"They flew here in a plane, they've all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here," said Paul.

He also alleged that the protesters' presence was a result of "criminal traffic being paid for across state lines."

Going on, Paul demanded that the FBI find out what hotels protesters stayed in and said "bills need to be subpoenaed" so the public can know "how did you get here on a plane and staying in a fancy hotel and yet you're acting like a criminal?"

The clip of Paul's appearance was captured and promoted by the Trump campaign as part of Trump's ultimately futile effort to defeat Joe Biden.

Based on Paul's tweet and the Department of Justice release, it does not appear that the FBI felt that Paul's hurt feelings rose to the level of requiring a serious, multistate response from America's largest law enforcement agency.

This seems to be a common theme among MAGA ( the past few weeks ? ).
45 claims fraud, those in charge of identifying the threshold of fraud say no
Rand, not to be left out, claims assault, those charged with identifying the threshold of assault say no

MAGA cries " it's not fair"

Ever notice the level of entitlement that goes with these claims ?


Has there ever been a public figure with a more prominent sense of entitlement than Rand ?
oh, excuse me, Trump.
But hey, gives Rand something to shoot for

Not being able to identify the assaulter, and claiming no assault happened, are two different things.

But again, I'm not at all shocked you are OK with a political opponent being assaulted.
 
who said I was ok ?
you ?
keep me out of your logic leaps

I am commenting on the fact that Ron Paul's kid is a little bitch
that flinches everytime someone looks at him hard.

Like most of Ron Paul's children

Wrong. Leftists only support violence against whites. If the same scenario happened to Maxine waters daughter, 57 would have his panties in a was saying it was a hate crime and Trump supports it.
 
The DOJ under Wm Barr found there was nothing to find

or when he threw debris on his neighbors property and got bitch slapped.

Rand Paul is a punk with a sense of entitlement
 
I've been hoping Tom Cotton would be the Pub that takes over for Biden in four years, but this thread is making Rand seem more appealing.

After indulging in a stream of baseless voter fraud allegations, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) candidly expressed his concern that attempts to get new voters involved in the Georgia runoff will “affect and change the outcome.”

“Most importantly, they’re mailing out a solicitation — they’re mailing everybody out a solicitation to vote by mail,” Paul intoned on Fox Business Network. “This is not a state law, this is something created out of whole cloth by the Secretary of State.”

“I’m very, very concerned that if you solicit votes from typically non-voters, that you will affect and change the outcome,” he continued. “So I’m very worried Democrats will control all three branches of the government and really truly transform America, but not for the better.”

“Wow, that is extraordinary,” marveled host Maria Bartiromo. “If there is not policing in place in Georgia, I don’t know what to say.”

Paul’s horror at the idea of increased civic engagement isn’t the first time in recent days that Republicans have baldly opposed expanded accessibility to the vote out of fear that it would help Democrats win.

“Why is Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger working so hard to add drop boxes and take other steps to make it harder for Republicans to win,” Newt Gingrich tweeted last week. “Is he really that intimidated by Stacey Abrams?”

Republicans have filed three separate lawsuits in an attempt to curtail absentee voting in Georgia, targeting drop boxes and signature matching processes specifically. One of those was dismissed by a federal judge on Thursday.

In-person early voting in Georgia has been underway since Monday, when a new state turnout record was set.

The enthusiasm so far reflects the competitiveness of the races that will decide Senate control. Sabato’s Crystal Ball from the University of Virginia rates both races as tossups, and FiveThirtyEight’s polling amalgamation has them both within a point.

The coffers are bare. We have no rainy day fund. We have no savings account.

Congress has spent all of the money. Congress spent all of the money a long time ago.

besides a horse race in the Spring and Bourbon --- WTF does Kentucky contribute ?

Letting people keep more of their own money is quite different than printing money we don't have to give to other countries and make new museums
 
In Perry County, Ky., the local government is cutting back on garbage pickup. Magoffin County is laying off public safety workers. And in Floyd County, where food pantries are reporting that demand has tripled over the past month, officials are trying to figure out how to avoid cuts to a program distributing food to families.
...
But the aid would come over the objection of one of Kentucky’s Republican senators, Rand Paul, who was one of just six to vote against the package in the Senate, on the grounds that it amounted to handing out “free money.” And it would be smaller and later than it might otherwise have been because of the work of the state’s other senator, Mitch McConnell, who as majority leader fought to limit the package.

I bet Perry County could find a good use for the ten million dollars earmarked for Pakistani gender studies. What did the NYT say about that?
