Senator Rand Paul exposed shocking betrayal in the Biden administration’s State Department during a explosive confirmation hearing. The Kentucky Republican grilled Joel Rayburn, Biden’s pick for Assistant Secretary overseeing Middle East affairs, about his ties to Obama-era diplomat James Jeffrey. Paul revealed Jeffrey deliberately deceived President Trump about troop levels in Syria while serving as Special Envoy.
Jeffrey admitted playing “shell games” to hide true troop numbers from Trump after ISIS’s defeat. This wasn’t just bureaucratic incompetence – it was sabotage against a sitting Commander-in-Chief. Paul called these actions “tantamount to treason,” and he’s absolutely right. Unelected swamp creatures weaponized their positions to undermine Trump’s America First agenda.
Rayburn squirmed when asked if he shared Jeffrey’s disloyal tactics. He called Jeffrey a “close colleague” but refused to condemn the deception. Every patriot knows what that means – the Deep State protects its own. These career bureaucrats think they’re smarter than the voters who elected Trump to drain the swamp.
This isn’t about policy disagreements. It’s about unelected globalists refusing to accept Trump’s historic 2016 victory. They lied to their President. They lied to the American people. They betrayed our troops by keeping them in endless Middle East conflicts against the people’s will.
The hearing proves the Washington machine still hates Trump and anyone who supports him. While hardworking Americans fought for border security and energy independence, traitors in suits were scheming to keep troops in Syria indefinitely. They wanted permanent war to line defense contractors’ pockets.
Paul’s fiery questioning shows why we need more fighters in the Senate. Weak Republicans would’ve let Rayburn skate through with vague answers. Real conservatives like Paul understand the stakes – our republic is under siege by paper-pushing radicals who think they rule us.
The Deep State’s war on Trump continues daily. Biden’s nominees overwhelmingly come from the same swamp that tried to overthrow Trump through Russia hoaxes and impeachment charades. Every confirmation hearing should be a battleground to expose these anti-American operatives.
Real change requires electing Trump-style warriors at every level of government. Drain the swamp. Prosecute traitors. Put America First – no compromises. The fate of our republic depends on rooting out every last bureaucrat who thinks they’re above We the People.
