Senator Rand Paul confronted a State Department nominee over shocking betrayal of President Trump’s America First agenda. During a heated Senate hearing, Paul exposed how deep-state bureaucrats actively sabotaged Trump’s mission to bring troops home from endless Middle East wars.
James Jeffrey, Obama-era holdover and Trump’s Syria envoy, admitted playing “shell games” to hide real troop numbers from the commander-in-chief. This wasn’t oversight – it was deliberate deception. While Trump fought to end foreign quagmires, unelected swamp creatures kept thousands of soldiers in harm’s way without presidential approval.
Jeffrey’s disloyalty runs deep. He signed the infamous “Never Trump” letter claiming the president was “dangerous” and “unqualified.” Yet this Trump-hating bureaucrat stayed in power, scheming to undermine elected leadership. True patrients know this isn’t just misconduct – it’s treasonous betrayal of our democracy.
Now Trump’s nominee Joel Rayburn faces tough questions about his ties to Jeffrey. Rayburn called the deceitful envoy a “close colleague” and refused to condemn his actions. How can we trust someone who’s spent years working with anti-Trump saboteurs? The swamp protects its own.
American troops became pawns in Jeffrey’s sick game. He lied about keeping just 200 soldiers in Syria while actually maintaining over 1,000. Our brave warriors deserved better than being used as bargaining chips by globalist bureaucrats obsessed with endless nation-building.
Paul didn’t hold back, blasting Jeffrey’s actions as “tantamount to treason.” He’s right – when unelected officials overthrow the people’s will, they shred the Constitution. This isn’t about politics. It’s about preserving the sacred idea that voters control our government.
The hearing exposes Washington’s dirty secret. The permanent bureaucracy – filled with Obama and Bush leftovers – still resists Trump’s mandate to put America first. They think they’re smarter than the millions who elected him. It’s time to drain the swamp completely.
Every patriot should demand answers. If officials can lie to presidents and hide troop deployments, no election matters. The battle isn’t just about Rayburn’s nomination – it’s about saving American democracy from power-hungry bureaucrats who think they rule us.
