Senator Rand Paul exposed shocking betrayal in the Trump administration during a fiery Senate hearing. The Kentucky Republican grilled State Department nominee Joel Rayburn about his former boss James Jeffrey’s scheme to undermine President Trump’s orders on Middle East troops. Paul called Jeffrey’s actions “tantamount to treason” for hiding real troop numbers in Syria while pretending to follow Trump’s America First policies.
Jeffrey openly admitted playing “shell games” to deceive President Trump about how many U.S. soldiers remained in war zones. This swamp creature – appointed by Trump despite signing the infamous “Never Trump” letter – sabotaged efforts to bring our troops home. While patriots fought to end endless wars, deep state operatives like Jeffrey kept lying to keep the military-industrial complex fed.
The 2016 “Never Trump” letter signed by Jeffrey proves he never supported the president’s agenda. It attacked Trump’s fitness for office and smeared him as a danger to national security. Yet this same bureaucrat got handed power over Syria policy. Paul rightly asked how anyone could trust Rayburn when he worked shoulder-to-shoulder with such a Trump-hating insider.
Rayburn squirmed when pressed about Jeffrey’s treasonous behavior. He called Jeffrey a “close colleague” and refused to condemn the troop number deception. This tells you everything – the Washington uniprotects its own. These career government elites care more about their globalist schemes than obeying elected leaders or protecting American interests.
President Trump demanded transparency on troop levels after destroying ISIS. Instead of following orders, Jeffrey’s team cooked the books to hide the truth. Our soldiers became pawns in the deep state’s game to preserve Obama-era nation-building disasters. Real patriots know – when commanders-in-chief give orders, you salute and execute. You don’t play Washington word games.
The Syria deception proves why Trump was right to drain the swamp. These bureaucrats think they’re smarter than the voters. They sabotage America First policies then act surprised when citizens lose faith in government. James Jeffrey belongs in handcuffs, not writing think tank papers. Treason isn’t some academic debate – it’s a bullet crime for a reason.
Every red-blooded American should cheer Rand Paul for exposing this rot. The Senate must stop rubber-stamping nominees who cozy up to anti-Trump saboteurs. Real change means purging every last Obama holdover and Never Trumper from government. Our troops deserve leaders who put America first – not globalist snake-oil salesmen.
This scandal shows the battle for America’s soul isn’t over. The swamp creatures are still lurking in marble hallways, waiting to betray the next populist president. Patriots must stay vigilant. Drain the swamp. Burn it down. And salt the earth where it stood.
