This is reminiscent of what Barry Goldwater in his prime did to stop a terrible labor relations bill, being the only no vote on a unanimous-consent action.

Sometimes these arcane rules of the Senate work in our favor, sometimes not.

Notice that Rand Paul was the fourth Republican Senator to block the release until Democrats agree to terms.

You want something bad enough, you have to be willing to pay.

Where are all the Paul bashers at now. Just because Paul deviates on an issue doesn’t mean he should be primaried. Hell, if the entire Senate consisted of Pauls we wouldn’t have none of the problems we’re having now.

arguing that Congress should also call for the release of communications and testimony from Obama-era officials.

He's right.

“What we need to discover and we do not yet know: Was President Obama involved?”

We need more of this .

I don’t disagree with Rand.

I pray the truth will out with Obama and his corruption and his corrupt administration.

I have said elsewhere that if the Mueller report was not what Barr and Rosenstein said it was, MUELLER, COMEY, MC CABE AND OTHERS WOULD BE LOOKING FOR ANY CAMERA OR MIC TO PROCLAIM THAT THEIR SUMMARY WAS WRONG.

Crickets...so, it’s accurate. Even the NO OBSTRUCTION part, because I haven’t heard any objection.

Rand Paul is a screwball, but he's our screwball.

This time.

I agree with Rand Paul on this one.

Had a dream this week.

The Dims apply incredible pressure to get all of Mueller’s working papers.

Then, the hundreds of thousands of documents and records demonstrate Hillary, Bill, 0bama, all of their lackeys, committed treason and sedition

We need to know was there malfeasance, was there misuse of power, did President Obama's administration get involved in an election to infiltrate the Trump campaign to trap them?

We ALREADY know that. And...we also know that another dog and pony show won't produce justice. If it did, the whole cabal would be in prison on death row.

In addition to asking for information to be publicly released, Paul's amendment would also call for Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to testify under oath

This is the single greatest takeaway in Paul's amendment. You put Brennan and Clapper under oath about the known fake dossier being used in the FISA request and they will sing and point the finger at Obama. They have hinted that Obama was involved in public interviews. They are not going to prison to protect that jester...they will bring him down with them.

This administration leaks like a sieve. If anyone thinks the Mueller report isn’t going to wind up in the media, unredacted, then they are kidding themselves.

Rand Paul is correct. We do not need a law to figure out this political question.

We need to release the full report, just because it is being used as fodder right now from the left, claiming there is something to hide in the report.

Our country is so blessed to have statesmen such as Senator Rand Paul.
