Senator Rand Paul exposed shocking betrayal in the Trump administration during a fiery Senate hearing. The Kentucky Republican grilled a State Department nominee over his ties to a former diplomat who lied about troop levels and actively worked against President Trump’s America First agenda.
James Jeffrey, Obama’s ambassador to Iraq, signed a “Never Trump” letter calling the president dangerous and unqualified. Despite this, Trump let him lead Syria policy. Jeffrey later admitted hiding true troop numbers in Syria through “shell games” – deliberately deceiving his commander-in-chief.
Paul demanded answers from Joel Rayburn, Trump’s pick for Middle East affairs chief. Rayburn worked closely with Jeffrey and called him a close colleague. The senator challenged why anyone would trust Rayburn when he never condemned Jeffrey’s treasonous manipulation of military deployments.
“This wasn’t just lying – it was undermining elected leadership,” Paul declared. Hiding troop levels from the president isn’t bureaucratic confusion. It’s sabotage by Deep State operators who think they know better than the American people.
Rayburn squirmed when confronted about Jeffrey’s 2020 admission. He claimed the deception “didn’t happen” despite Jeffrey’s own confession. This stonewalling proves establishment bureaucrats stick together – covering for each other while thumbing their noses at democracy.
The hearing revealed how anti-Trump radicals infiltrated his administration. These globalist careerists view presidents as temporary nuisances. Their loyalty lies with permanent Washington, not the Constitution or the voters who put America First leaders in office.
Accountability is non-existent for Deep State actors. Jeffrey faced no consequences for his lies. Now his protégé could get promoted. This isn’t just swamp business as usual – it’s an existential threat to representative government.
Patriots must demand a full purge of Trump-deranged bureaucrats. The Senate should block any nominee who enables this betrayal. Until the administrative state gets dismantled, no president – Republican or Democrat – can truly lead.
