Senator Rand Paul confronted a State Department nominee over shocking revelations about anti-Trump activities in the deep state. During a tense Senate hearing, Paul grilled Joel Rayburn about his ties to James Jeffrey, a former Syria envoy accused of deceiving President Trump about military deployments. This clash exposed the bureaucratic resistance Trump faced from his own administration.
Jeffrey allegedly hid troop numbers in Syria through a “shell game” to bypass Trump’s orders. Records show he misled the White House about keeping forces in the region after ISIS’s defeat. These actions blocked Trump’s America First agenda and kept endless wars alive. Betrayal of this magnitude strikes at the heart of our democracy.
Rayburn dodged questions about whether he supported Jeffrey’s schemes. He called Jeffrey a “close colleague” but refused to condemn the lies told to Trump. Every patriotic American knows silence equals complicity in these swamp games. The DC establishment protects its own—even when they undermine elected leaders.
Treason isn’t just about spying for foreign enemies. It’s about unelected bureaucrats sabotaging the commander-in-chief’s peace plans. Jeffrey’s deceptions trapped our troops in Syria against Trump’s wishes. This is how the deep state operates—putting globalist agendas above American interests.
Trump wanted to end pointless wars, but swamp creatures like Jeffrey kept us entangled. They lied to the president, ignored voters, and wasted taxpayer dollars on foreign quagmires. Real patriots support bringing troops home, not playing hide-and-seek with military deployments.
The hearing proved the administrative state still resists accountability. Rayburn’s vague answers show the swamp hasn’t been drained. Conservative leaders must keep fighting to root out Obama-era holdovers clinging to power. Drain the swamp—again, and again, until it’s dry.
Every American should demand answers. Why did bureaucrats think they could disobey a sitting president? How many other Jeffreys are still undermining our leaders? The people elected Trump to end these games. The swamp fought him every step.
This isn’t just about the past—it’s a warning. Without drastic reform, the deep state will keep thumbing its nose at democracy. Conservatives must stay vigilant, expose every betrayal, and restore power to We the People. Trust must be earned, and these swamp rats failed the test.
