Rand Paul: Politicization of the FBI Began with James Comey and the Hillary Probe

RUSH EXCERPT:

PAUL: "Well, I’ve said all along, I don’t like special prosecutors. They have too much power and too much power to go far afield of the question. I do think, though, that we have a problem and that the FBI and our intelligence agencies have become politicized. And even our founding fathers recognize that bias would be a real problem. Madison said that men are not angels. That’s why what I’ve been advocating for is a bigger reform for a bigger question. That is that no one should be left to their own devices. Mccabe, Peter strzok, they shouldn’t be allowed to search databases on Americans without first asking a judge. So this goes to a real reform question. Should individual agents who might be biased against President Trump or may be biased against Hillary Clinton, frankly, should they be able to use the apparatus, this powerful apparatus to politicize a process? This is a real problem. I think James Comey started this when he went after Hillary Clinton, frankly. And now it’s turned its head and now they’re going after trump. Really, the FBI needs to go after political affairs. Do we want to be a banana republic, where every time someone leaves office, we’re prosecuting the people who leaves office. I think it’s a terrible thing and it’s really hurt the FBI and it started with James Comey, frankly."
