Sen Rand Paul just gave a press conference and named what he thinks is the whistleblower

I read that John Roberts refused once again today to read Pauls question on the senate floor.
So he went out and told the world.

Rand Paul, who should be in the impeachment hearing right now, gives a press conference and names the whistleblower.

Can the Senate Sergeant at Arms please arrest this fool?

Sen Paul reads reporters his question. It names the whistleblower and a staffer on the House Intelligence Committee, accusing them of plotting together to impeach the President.

in the ever loving fuck is this guy's problem?

He's got this hard-on for naming this person and when the CHIEF FREAKING JUSTICE of the SCOTUS tells him "no", he runs out and finds a camera to say it anyway? Really?

He doesn't work. When he was "running for President" last time, there's video of him complaining that it's too hard. All this traveling and talking to people.

Come on Kentucky!!! You have two raging assholes for Senators. Get rid of them!

For televised live interviews with Rachel et al.

Let's get the info to the American people RIGHT NOW, right as the slimy Reps make a mockery of our republic.

Which Roberts wouldn't read. And other GOP group asked a very similar question with only 1 name that Roberts did read.

Its pretty obvious.

as always...

They would have had a stroke if Hillary called a presser just to violate federal law and blurt out a whistleblower's name...

The privacy/transparency/press freedom leftbros who are conspicuously giving a wink-and-a-nod to this should be noted.
