Rand Paul calls for probe of Democrats over Ukraine letter


Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday called for an investigation into the Democratic senators who sent a letter in 2018 to the prosecutor general of Ukraine requesting information on investigations into former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Paul dodged questions from Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" on whether President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani's interactions with foreign governments to get information on former Vice President Joe Biden bothered him.

"If anything's consistent here, both parties have tried to involve themselves in Ukraine," Paul said.

  1. Rand Paul mentioned a declaration of war, you know, according to "the rule of law" in the plain wording of the Constitution. Chuck Todd didn't want to discuss that! The President should call in Congressional leaders and say, OK, who is our enemy over there? And then say, I will ask Congress for a declaration of war to destroy the enemy and or gain an their unconditional surrender. They would all probably "lose their minds" including the media. So when they declare, "the rule of law" and "no one is above the law", say "yes, I agree, then go straight back at them--on the same point! BTW, whatever happened to the neutron bomb which was a "clean" battlefield, anti-personnel warhead? Bring it back. Declare war, use it if necessary instead of maiming and killing our troops! --Ron W

    1. :( Idiotic.

      The weapon was once again proposed for tactical use by the US in the 1970s and 1980s, and production of the W70 began for the MGM-52 Lance in 1981. This time it experienced a firestorm of protest as the growing anti-nuclear movement gained strength through this period. Opposition was so intense that European leaders refused to accept it on their territory. President Ronald Reagan bowed to pressure and the built examples of the W70-3 remained stockpiled in the US until they were retired in 1992. The last W70 was dismantled in 2011.[8]

    2. Thanks Brock. I knew it was deployed in Europe to dissuade a Warsaw Pact invasion with superior numbers. Such "intense opposition" tells me Western leaders would rather subject our young volunteer military to maiming and death rather than using the most effective deterrent to war, or if necessary, a weapon that would make bring a war to a victorious conclusion ASAP. --Ron W
