Senator Rand Paul confronted a State Department nominee over shocking revelations about anti-Trump activities in the federal bureaucracy. During a tense Senate hearing, Paul grilled Joel Rayburn about his predecessor James Jeffrey’s admitted deception of President Trump regarding troop levels in Syria. The showdown exposed how deep-state operatives worked to undermine America’s commander-in-chief.
Paul blasted Jeffrey’s actions as “tantamount to treason” for hiding military deployments through bureaucratic shell games. Records show Jeffrey deliberately misled Trump about keeping thousands of soldiers in Syria after the defeat of ISIS. This blatant disrespect for civilian leadership reveals a toxic culture of unaccountable swamp creatures.
The nominee struggled to defend his former colleague, admitting they worked closely together. Rayburn claimed their goal was pressuring Syria’s Assad regime, but conservatives know the real mission was obstructing Trump’s America First agenda. Patriots recognize this as another example of entitled bureaucrats thinking they know better than the voters’ chosen president.
Jeffrey’s scheme involved lying to Trump about keeping 900 troops stationed in Syria instead of the reported 200. This betrayal allowed endless foreign entanglements Trump explicitly opposed. True public servants follow orders – they don’t play Jedi mind tricks on their boss.
While liberals dismiss “treason” as hyperbole, the Founding Fathers would recognize this as exactly the tyranny they fought against. The Constitution defines treason as making war on America or giving enemies “aid and comfort.” Subverting presidential authority to pursue unauthorized wars certainly qualifies.
This scandal proves the swamp never drained itself. Career bureaucrats still treat conservative leaders like temporary nuisances to outlast. Meanwhile, they cling to power through administrations, pushing globalist policies real Americans reject.
Patriots demand answers. How many other Obamaholdovers plotted against Trump? Who authorized these shadow deployments? When will traitors face consequences instead of cushy retirements?
The American people elected Trump to end forever wars. Unelected paper-pushers have no right to sabotage that mandate. Until these Deep State rats get flushed, our republic remains in mortal danger from within.
