Senator Rand Paul unleashed a fiery interrogation at a Senate hearing this week, exposing shocking betrayal in President Trump’s own administration. The Kentucky Republican grilled State Department nominee Joel Rayburn about his ties to former envoy James Jeffrey, who admitted to lying to President Trump about troop levels in Syria.
Jeffrey bragged about playing “shell games” to hide the true number of U.S. soldiers stationed overseas from his commander-in-chief. Paul didn’t hold back, calling these actions “tantamount to treason” against the American people. The deep state operative even signed a letter claiming Trump was “dangerous” and “unfit” for office before joining his team.
This swamp creature kept his job despite openly opposing Trump’s America First agenda. While patriots fought to bring troops home, bureaucrats like Jeffrey sabotaged the president’s orders. They treated our military like chess pieces in their globalist game instead of protecting American lives.
Now Trump’s nominee Rayburn claims he didn’t know about Jeffrey’s deceit. But records show they worked side-by-side for years pushing failed policies in Syria. Real conservatives know you’re judged by the company you keep – and Rayburn picked a snake like Jeffrey as his partner.
The hearing exposed how career politicians and bureaucrats stick together to undermine democracy. Rayburn refused to condemn Jeffrey’s lies, proving he’s just another cog in the Washington machine. These elitists think they’re smarter than the voters who put Trump in office.
Hardworking Americans deserve truth and transparency. Hiding troop numbers isn’t some paperwork error – it’s a direct attack on presidential authority. Our brave soldiers deserve leaders who honor their sacrifices, not pencil-pushers playing games with their lives.
This scandal shows why draining the swamp remains crucial. Trump needs fighters who’ll expose traitors instead of protecting them. Every bureaucrat who lied about troop levels should face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
Real change starts with holding these arrogant insiders accountable. The Senate must reject any nominee who won’t denounce Jeffrey’s treasonous behavior. America First means putting our citizens above crooked globalists – no exceptions.
