Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has emerged as President Donald Trump’s most outspoken advocate against the newest phase of the Democrats’ witch hunt to remove him from office...
...Democrats attempted to pass a pro-whistleblower resolution unanimously in the Senate today in order to build the case for this deep state operative...
...Schumer, who has supported the persecution of real whistleblowers like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and NSA leaker Edward Snowden, had the audacity to claim that he wanted to “send a message today that the Senate reaffirms our long standing tradition about defending whistleblowers.”
Paul was not having any of Schumer’s nauseating hypocrisy. He objected to passing the resolution unanimously, and instead proposed the passage of his legitimate bill that would protect authentic whistleblowers.
“I support whistleblowers and I do think they have a role to play in keeping government accountable … but what we have seen over the last few years is that we have a system that we should continue to refine,” Paul said.
Paul made note that his legislation would give the President the right to face his accuser. It would also apply to contractors and be retroactive, so that Snowden would be protected as well for exposing the NSA’s unconstitutional spying program in 2013.
“The bill I will introduce today will expand the whistleblower act [and] would be made retroactive so Edward Snowden can come home to live in his own country. All he did was expose that his government was not obeying the Constitution,” Paul said.

You know, sometimes Senator Paul gets my goat, then he does something like this and all is forgiven.
He, like Representative Steve Scalise has been physically harmed for his Political Beliefs. God Bless them both.
Yes I just wished he had wee bit more courage and said the spy’s name.
His Neighbor probably would have shot him this time if he did.
Who cares? Everybody already knows who the WB creep is. It’s no secret.
The one who lacked courage was Brett Bair when he was given the perfect opening to ask Rand “What’s the name of the whistleblower?”
Were the Republicans going along with the Rats?
It’s hard to say, some of the others might have objected if Rand didn’t but the Demoncrats thought they were going along.
FOX has already made it corporate policy that they won’t publicize the “whistleblower” ‘s name
So IF they had said on air on Bret’s show, it would have been bleeped out anyway so no one would hear it ... and then Bret Baier would be fired
(Thanks Paul Ryan, you a-hole)

When will he have the courage to expose the Kenyanesian Usurpation?
I don’t know who he or she is, so enlighten me!
Snowden was destroyed because the were afraid he knew to much about the Deep State!! We NOW know just how corrupt the government alphabet truly are!!!
Rand 2024
DJTJ beat him to it.
Eric Ciaramella. It’s been all over threads on FR for a week. Hard to miss.
Dang. Paul is on a roll. Did he slip his leash?
I have always swam against the current here on FR when it comes to Rand Paul. I liked his father before him and now him. While there may be an issue or two I might not agree with I have always considered both men as stalwart defenders of the Republic! Patriots first and foremost.
I am not a Republican at all anymore, but I could sure get 100% behind that!!!!!!
Not the same as US Senator. This isn’t a knock on Rand but we desperately need an elected official to call this rat hack out.
