Senator Rand Paul confronted a State Department nominee over shocking actions by a former Trump official. During a tense Senate hearing, Paul grilled Joel Rayburn about his ties to James Jeffrey, who allegedly lied to President Trump about troop levels in Syria. These revelations exposed deep betrayal in our government.
Paul didn’t hold back, calling Jeffrey’s actions “treason.” He accused Jeffrey of playing “shell games” to hide the truth from President Trump. Troop numbers were secretly kept high despite Trump’s orders to withdraw. This deception undermined our commander-in-chief and put American lives at risk.
Jeffrey wasn’t just a bureaucrat—he actively worked against Trump’s agenda. He signed a letter in 2016 claiming Trump was “unfit” for office. Yet he stayed in power, sabotaging policies patriots voted for. This is the swamp in action: elites thinking they know better than the people.
Rayburn defended his former boss, calling Jeffrey a “close colleague.” He claimed they were “close” to pressuring Syria’s regime. But patriots see through this. Career officials teaming up to defy elected leaders is how the deep state operates. It’s unacceptable.
The hearing exposed how Trump’s own team betrayed him. Officials like Jeffrey thought they could outsmart the president. They lied about troop levels to keep endless wars going. American taxpayers footed the bill while globalists called the shots.
Paul demanded answers, but Rayburn dodged questions. When asked if he condemned Jeffrey’s lies, Rayburn mumbled excuses. This is why Americans distrust Washington. Corrupt insiders protect each other while ignoring voters.
Conservatives are fighting to drain the swamp. Paul’s bold stand shows real leadership. We need more patriots in office who’ll expose traitors and hold them accountable. The days of unelected bureaucrats running shadow governments must end.
This scandal proves the deep state is real. Trump tried to put America first, but arrogant officials blocked him at every turn. November’s election is our chance to finish the job. Let’s send a message: America belongs to the people, not lying bureaucrats.
