Sure no political bias there

RandPaul is a bootlicker & a disgrace to his father's legacy and integrity.

It's complicated when you chest. RandPaul There's GOP and there's trump. I fully support u being a champion for GOP but supporting trump is nothing short of treason. If u love your wife and r faithful, value immigrants u can't support Don.

Hmmm, do you think Rand has some issues he doesn't want exposed?

In related news: Paper fire at Rand Paul’s office

What bills has he introduced to clean up campaign financing? It is his actual job!

Ask Obama. He did it too but no one cares about that.

Rand Paul is corrupt!

.RandPaul if Trump, you or others are too dumb or lazy to figure out campaign finance, why elect you to write laws governing the people? I.E. tax law, epa, education, insurance, tariffs, war? Too dumb to serve.

So rand paul thinks trump is to stupid to understand the law. Stupidity is not a defence.

It shouldn’t be criminalized if your a CROOK and doesn’t want to go to jail or it interferes with you profiting from it. What decent criminal would want that?

Lock both of them up

Rand Paul is giving criminal activity a pass? Unbelievable!

RandPaul Rand you really need to get on the right side of history.

Well - I thought you were waking up but apparently you are still sleeping mentally.. go back to being a doctor...

So the IRS tax code is incredibly complicated. You don’t see him wanting to decriminalize that.

Douchebag

Possible chief of staff?

Ummm no, but nice try

Oh, well if Rand Paul says so...🙄

Expel Putin’s girl from Congress.

Somebody better be checking senator Rands finances!

There are lots of technical pitfalls in campaign finance, but buying the silence of two women on the eve of an election is textbook criminality. This should be enough to getTrump hounded out of office, but we’ve barely scratched the surface.

Somebody needs to check his campaign finance records

It doesn't smell good for RandPaul, either. He is probably a criminal himself regarding campaign finance violations.

Cause Rand Paul wants to collect more money for selling out and not get in trouble for it

Hey RandPaul what does Trump have on you? Something is fishy with your deflection and defensiveness. Certainly you want our country protected and justice to be served, right?

Let us remember the day Rand decided that supporting 'The Donald' was more important than serving his country.

Oh well, glad he cleared that up.

'Our leader is too stupid to understand our laws, he shouldn't be punished for that.' The GOP, they're not sending their best. They're sending their rapists, their money launderers, their conspirators, their traitors...

Sounds like Rand Paul may have some criminal liability?

When Paul went to Russia earlier this year he was probably auditioning for Putin and the oligarchs. He had a letter of introduction from Trump. These Republicans will sell out their country for the right price.

Mark my words. There is kompromat on Rand.

Saudee Bone Saw Princes have decided to use Rand Paul next week to convince the world that ' Murderers should just pay a fine ''

There are complicated campaign finance laws, and complicated laws in general that could lead someone to mistakenly be in violation of a law. Paying hush money to a stripper because you want her to STFU right before your election? Not an innocent mistake.

“Trump’s a crook.” - His Own Justice Department

The Republicans keep trying to normalize corruption. If Trump was a pedophile, they would use Bible to justify his actions.

BS....lying and covering up the lies is still criminal. Time for all of the GOP to STOP enabling this lying embarrassment.

Criminals always says they should not be charged with crimes

Trump owns him

Seems like we have our first volunteer for a campain spending audit!

So lawmakers are saying their indiscretions don't need to be criminalized, when they are dealing in millions in campaign contributions no need to criminalize. But someone with a few joints is a stone cold criminal 😜GOP are very interested in protecting their shady deals.

Cool positioning, Rand Paul. Do you have an FBI charge coming down we didn’t know about? DiesvLibertaruan mean “too many words to read R hard”?

Yes but signing NDA with porn stars is above and beyond campaign “complications “

Hahahahahaha. Really?

What Cohen alleges about Trump directing him to make a payoff to mistresses isn't complicated to understand or comprehend.

He paid off porn stars for their silence, RandPaul. Did the Russian-sent neighbor that broke your ribs tell you to say this?

But how about lying over and over about it ... and about everything else

Yeah my jaw dropped when I heard it on MTP this morning. So that’s gonna be the spin! Say it’s punidhable by just a fine.

They might want to look into this Paul guy.

It's not that complicated. It is actually titled after what it is supposed to pay for... Say the name say the name...

There is no low for the party of law and order

I'm sure complex campaign finance rules are pretty simple for such a 'stable genius' as realDonaldTrump, no?

Indeed, Comrade Paul.

Someone better investigate rand paul campaign’s finances. There is more to this.
