Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told host Neil Cavuto it was his view that if it were a U.S. intelligence agency that leaked an unsubstantiated dossier on President-elect Donald Trump and his relationship with Russia to the press, there should be repercussions, including prosecution and possible jail time.
“What I would say is that if there is private information that someone is blackmailing a public figure and the public figure or someone takes it to the intelligence agencies, you would think it would be private. And really, this is so important that I think whoever leaked it should be prosecuted. Someone should go to jail if this was an intelligence agency head talked to the media, they should go to jail. If it was the Obama administration, they should go to jail.”

I think Comey or Crapper or someone in the intelligence community called Trump and told him that it wasn’t them and that in fact it had been used to the limited extent of showing Trump what sort of Fake News was out there and that it was totally fake.
John McCain leaked the dossier to CNN.
Well Rand, let’s see what you say when the prestitutes start admitting it was Johnny McCain.
There are times when Rand paul is spot on, other times... he’s a Moonbat.
[John McCain leaked the dossier to CNN]
If so, TRES Amigos would become DOS Amigos.
Tell you what Rand, maybe next time do your job and vote against the ACA instead of face saving moves like this.
Someone needs to have a serious conversation with McCain.

Intel chief calls Trump to disavow leaks
The nation’s top intel chief called President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday to personally deny leaking to the media a dubious dossier of allegations about sensitive information the Russians supposedly had about him.
Trump confirmed Thursday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper spoke to him by phone, apparently sometime after a press conference in which Trump lashed out at media outlets, including Buzzfeed and CNN, that ran with the story and speculated it was leaked by federal officials.
“James Clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated,” Trump tweeted. “Made up, phony facts.Too bad!”

Rand Paul:
Homeland Security and Government Affairs
Act!
Uh, Rand, that would be your colleague, Juan McVain.
We don't know that. It could have been the CIA or others.
Moonbatism is a gene deep affliction. It is very much a “once and always” type thing.
The times moonbats appears to not be moonbatted are pretense and play act.
Michael Savage will have a person from 4chan on his show later to discuss the origin of the story.
Liberal elites are horrible people.
Gators.
Drain the Swamp...
I don’t think Rand Paul cares about John McCain.
Wasn’t the notorious “wacko birds” line something McCain said about Paul?
> There are times when Rand paul is spot on, other times... he’s a Moonbat.
Which was it when he was ensuring that Eric Holder wouldn’t be able to have his own little drone program aimed at Americans right here on US soil?
I think Obama leaked it.
McCain for sure but I would guess it was leaked by dozens of Obama, Hilary, Romney, GOPe operatives. A mad dash.
