Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is demanding an investigation into the taxpayer-funded fees paid to ObamaCare consultant Jonathan Gruber after a series of highly publicized comments the senator called a "disgrace."
"He was paid, and now he's admitted that he was deceptive and deceitful," Paul said in an interview on Fox News on Monday night.
Paul said he would request an official investigation into public funds paid to Gruber for consultant work, pegged at upwards of $6 million among multiple states and several federal agencies.
"Who was sort of organizing this for him? Is this some sort of thing that happened within government? Was he just able to market himself everywhere, or was this all coming in some sort of organized way to enrich Obama consultants?" Paul asked.
Paul joined others on the right, such as Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), in suggesting Gruber return the money.
"How can we pay someone to be a consultant to government who's frankly admitting that they were dishonest?" Paul added.
Conservatives have jumped at a series of comments from academic lectures made by Gruber, an MIT economist who advised on ObamaCare and the Massachusetts healthcare law.
Gruber is seen on video citing a "lack of transparency" and "the stupidity of the American voter" as important factors in passing the Affordable Care Act.
He also said the federal bill was written in a "tortured way to make sure the [Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes,” acknowledging that proponents worked to spin penalties from the law's individual mandate as fines, not taxes.
After his comments were publicized, Gruber apologized on MSNBC, saying his remarks were "off the cuff."
President Obama and key Democrats have sought to distant themselves from the adviser, who has received intense backlash, including from Democrats.
"This is a disgrace," Paul said.
Bttt
Nice waste of time. Gruber didn’t commit any crime.
Why not go after the democrats who actually conspired to perpetrate this fraud against the American people?

They ought to throw his ass in prison. I don’t care what they do with the rest of him.
Toss Obola in there with him. They can be buddies for life.
Only to point this out....but in the DC area, there are ten thousand Grubers, and they rent themselves out to congressmen and senators....helping to write tax code and various laws to benefit the VIPs of society. Gruber isn’t alone....he’s just “one of the Borg”...working to bring society into their thought process.
‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’
At least go after this one, and make the other 9,999 nervous.
Don’t you have some serious, meaningful work to do?
How about stopping Amnesty?
How about working on jobs since the numbers we are being given are bogus bullshit and our economy needs serious help
The VA still has problems check in and push there a little.
Our schools are being destroyed by people pushing social agendas instead of actually teaching our children how to read and write, speak intelligent English and maybe do a little real world math.
Then this shitheel needs to be made an example of.
The ten thousand need to start weighing their cushy job against their freedom.
I’m just echoing Rand Paul’s sentiment. Direct your question to him
Gruber earned his money and other than being a twit isn’t guilty of any crimes.
Can’t say the same for his bosses.
IMO Gruber has earned his money the taxpayers paid him by opening his mouth and exposing the truth.
There is too much attention to the comments and not enough to what Obama did to commit fraud. The first hour of Limbaugh was dead on target.

Going after Gruber is a wild goose chase. The man committed no crime. All he did was show the democrats how to defraud the American people, the democrats are the ones who actively did it.
If I understand correctly the Obamacare math assignment, Gruber was given the answer and his task was to manipulate the equation.
The person you need to talk to is Paul. I’m not the one demanding a probe; he is.
If we kicked all the professional liars off the payroll we could likely cut Federal spending by 1/3
