Senator Rand Paul confronted a State Department nominee over shocking revelations about deep state sabotage against President Trump. During a tense Senate hearing, Paul grilled Joel Rayburn about his ties to James Jeffrey, a former Trump official who admitted lying about troop levels in Syria. This betrayal strikes at the heart of America’s trust in its leaders.
Paul called Jeffrey’s actions “tantamount to treason” for hiding critical military information from the commander-in-chief. The Kentucky senator revealed Jeffrey ran a “shell game” to keep Trump in the dark about thousands of U.S. troops stationed overseas. American lives were put at risk by this reckless deception.
The scandal gets worse. Jeffrey signed the infamous “Never Trump” letter in 2016, calling Trump “dangerous” and “unfit” for office. Yet he still landed a top national security job. This proves the swamp always protects its own, even when they openly despise our elected president.
Rayburn struggled to distance himself from his mentor Jeffrey during the hearing. He called Jeffrey a “close colleague” but refused to condemn the lies told to President Trump. Conservatives see this as typical Washington double-talk – swamp creatures circling wagons around their anti-Trump allies.
Jeffrey’s admission exposes the deep state’s rotten core. Career bureaucrats thought they knew better than the American people who voted for Trump’s America First agenda. They undermined our democracy by disobeying presidential orders and hiding troop deployments.
The 2016 “Never Trump” letter called Trump a threat to religious freedom and constitutional values. But it was these arrogant officials who trampled the chain of command. They treated the White House like a daycare center needing their “adult supervision” instead of respecting the voters’ choice.
Paul’s fiery interrogation shows real Republicans won’t let the Biden administration bury this scandal. The American people deserve answers about how traitors in suits manipulated our military and lied to their boss. Every patriot should demand accountability.
This hearing proves the Washington swamp still stinks. Until we drain it completely, America First will remain under attack from globalist bureaucrats who hate both Trump and the hardworking Americans who support him. The fight for transparency continues.
