Rand Paul Issues Shock Mueller Announcement, No One Expected This

The Russian collusion investigation has been a hot topic since the very first start of the election.

President Donald Trump has been the main subject of this investigation.

But despite all the effort, no evidence or collusion came out.

The lawmakers and the Americans themselves, are growing impatient with the ongoing Russia investigation, which draw attention away from the efforts to pass policy that would be beneficial to the American people. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called the Russia collusion probe a “witch hunt” that the Democrats want to use to avoid acknowledging the “poor candidacy” of Hillary Clinton.

According to our source, Conservative Post, Paul was asked if he believes that the Mueller investigation is getting in the way of legislative activity on Capitol Hill. Then, he delved into a critique of the office of the Special Counsel itself.

“I think what you’re seeing is exactly why special prosecutor is a bad idea. You know, they’re not doing anything with Russia. They’re trying to look at people’s taxes from a long time ago that have nothing to do with President Trump.” He continued, “their mission was to look at Russian collusion and now we’re looking at people’s tax returns. So really, this is a problem of special prosecutors. You give them millions of dollars, unlimited sort of ability to go after anything, and you’ll find that people are going to be prosecuted for stuff that has nothing to do with the original mandate of the prosecutor.”

Then he addressed the question of whether the Russia investigation is interfering with Congress’ ability to focus on its legislative agenda. But since the 2016 election, the Republican-majority Congress has been unable to make good on key campaign promises like repealing  Obamacare, strengthening the border and passing tax reform.

“I think it’s a distraction. And I think the thing is that, you know, Democrats would have their way. And Hillary Clinton, they want to blame Russia for her failings as a candidate, for being a bad candidate. They will drag this on forever.

“What I’ve said is: investigate it. If there’s anything — good. But let’s find out and let’s bring it forward. But if not, let’s get it done with. Because the bottom line is we know Russia tries to influence our election. We also try to influence other countries’ elections. Everybody that can spy does spy. We should protect ourselves, but I don’t think President Trump had anything to do with … Russia.”
