Senator Rand Paul dropped a bombshell during a tense Senate hearing this week. The Kentucky Republican grilled State Department nominee Joel Rayburn over his ties to a former Trump official accused of betraying the America First agenda. Paul didn’t hold back, accusing ex-envoy James Jeffrey of committing acts “tantamount to treason” by lying about troop levels in Syria.
Jeffrey, a holdover from the swampy deep state, admitted to playing “shell games” to hide the true number of U.S. soldiers deployed overseas. While President Trump fought to bring our troops home, this bureaucrat was scheming to keep boots on the ground. Paul exposed how Jeffrey deliberately misled Commander-in-Chief Trump – the very man he swore to serve.
The plot thickens. Jeffrey signed the infamous 2016 “Never Trump” letter claiming the president was “dangerous” and “unqualified.” Yet this anti-Trump operative somehow kept his powerful position. Paul rightly asked how anyone could trust a man who trashed our president while drawing a government paycheck.
Rayburn, the nominee, tried to defend his former boss. He called Jeffrey a “close colleague” and claimed they were “working hard” on Syria policy. But Paul wasn’t buying it. How can we drain the swamp when nominees still cozy up to bureaucrats who stabbed Trump in the back?
This isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s about deep state snakes undermining elected leadership. While real Americans trusted Trump to shake up Washington, career bureaucrats like Jeffrey were scheming to protect their power. They treated our troops like pawns in their globalist chess game.
Paul’s fiery questioning exposed the rotten core of the administrative state. These aren’t innocent mistakes – they’re deliberate acts of sabotage against a president who threatened the DC establishment. The hearing proved that Trump’s fight against the deep state is far from over.
The American people deserve answers. Why are nominees like Rayburn still defending swamp creatures instead of cleaning house? Every day these bureaucrats stay in power, they weaken our national security and spit on the voters’ will.
Patriots across America should cheer Senator Paul for exposing this betrayal. It’s time to purge the Trump-hating bureaucrats once and for all. The fight to reclaim our government from globalist elites starts with holding traitors like Jeffrey accountable.
