BREAKING: GOP Senator to oppose Trump’s AG nominee
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by TheHill.com:
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.”
The article goes on to state the following:
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.
With Paul voting no and Jones voting aye, Barr, who passed out of committee on a party-line vote, is still on track for a 53-47 confirmation assuming all other senators vote as expected. https://t.co/OIADgKRjLr

What is going on with Rand Paul now? Who is paying him off now? This is not good!

He has always been a rino

I really respect Rand Paul. He makes a good case to me. Warrant surveillance is something all us Americans should be concerned about.
Carol February 12th, 2019 at 11:30 am
ditto – make him sign an affidavit that he will not promote warrant-less surveillance on the American people. President Trump needs to be careful as he did not like the fact that Obama had him wire tap surveillance during his run for president.

Rand the rino

Rand Paul is correct. Barr needs to stay retired, he’s done enough.
Sofia February 12th, 2019 at 9:56 pm
Rand Paul is NOT a RINO. U who say this are misinformed! Ron Paul & Campaign for Liberty have also been warning for weeks about Barr’s record, including that on gun ownership. I think Trump can do better on his AG pic. Too many concern w/Wm Barr!

There were countless things I loved regarding Ron Paul, he’s the most sincere
