“Nobody is saying or excusing Russia meddling in our elections, absolutely, we should protect the integrity of our elections,” Paul explained. “But simply bringing the hatred of the president to the Senate floor, in order to say we’re done with diplomacy, we’re going to add more sanctions and more sanctions.”

So, according to Rand Paul, the US should let russian interference in us elections unpunished. I'm pretty sure he would have a very different opinion if Hillary had won and if we were talking about russians hacking the RNC. But since Russiand tried to help his guy, he's fine with it.

You would have never heard of any RNC hacking had she won. And Rand has been a critic of Trump he is hardly a rubber stamp for him. I disagree with Rand on a few things but he is principled and I think he is starting to realize that Trump is not a warmonger. Trump has pursued peace far more than he has engaged in sabre rattling.

Actually, we heard about the DNC hacking BEFORE the election

Rand Paul used tyo be a Trump critic . Seems he changed his jacket 'cause he's been defending him a lot these days, on issues on which even GOP politicians called Trump out

Clarify your point please. The DNC wouldn’t turn over their servers to the FBI. What does that have to do with the RNC?

My point is : If Hillary (not Trum) had won, if russian hackers would have hacked the RNC not the DNC), and if Hillary would have said she trust Putin over US intelligence therefore she thinks russians did not hacked the RNC, Rand Paul would be furious. But what happens is that his party won the election and the opposing party had its servers hacked by rusians so it's all good for him.

Hillary trusted Sidney Blumenthal over U.S. diplomats and was still the Democrat nominee.
We are just pissing in the wind here. If the bitch had won, there would be no talk of Russian meddling.

I'm not understanding how you get there, BC. Pre-election the CIA had already concluded that Russia was hacking with intent to assist Trump (it took the FBI until December to conclusively concur but they too were already investigating). Then also pre-election we had Obama discussing the matter with McConnell and Ryan. So how is it the whole affair would have been silenced when so many already knew about it, most particularly McConnell and Ryan?

Unlike Vladimir Putin, Sidney Blumenthal is a US citizen, not the leader of an adversary country
