Breaking: Rand Paul will vote against Trump's pick for attorney general
The Hill ^ | BY JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 02/11/2019 6:16:00 PM PST by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) said on Monday that he will oppose President Trump's attorney general nominee, becoming the first Republican to come out as a "no" vote on William Barr.

Paul told Politico that he had concerns about Barr's record on privacy, calling him a "chief advocate for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens."

A spokesman for Paul didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The libertarian-leaning GOP senator had previously raised concerns about Barr, who also served as attorney general to President George H.W. Bush.

"Paul does this all the time and then changes his mind. It’s his MO. It makes him feel relevant."

Maybe he wants to play golf with the President again.

Rand is a big supporter of Trump. This is just his principled position...

Good! Any friend of Mueller’s is NOT a friend of America!


Isn't this Barr dude an friend of Mueller, and didn't he call him Bob Mueller and talk about how impeccable he is? I am concerned about his deep state loyalty.

Why must every nominee be an insider?

Rand Paul is the ONLY truly conservative US Senator, especially on issues of wars & our constitutional rights.

“It wouldn’t have anything to do with Barr being a personal friend of Mueller, would it?”

Or:

That he raised money for the FBI sniper (Lon Horiuchi) who murdered Vicky Weaver while she stood inside her front door holding a baby.

“I can not believe Trump would pick anyone associated with a Bush. The warrantless search should be a non-starter as well.”

I agree wholeheartedly.

The man is not fit for AG.

Not fit.
