Rand Paul: Brennan ‘Abused His Office in Developing the Trump Investigation’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “People talk about the deep state. Now the deep state is actually protecting their own and not listening to the president’s orders. I was sitting in the White House when President Trump said I want his security clearance taken, and I saw the order given. I saw the chief of staff was there, not the current chief of staff, the previous chief of staff. And if they are working against the odds of the president that really does disrupt our country, does disrupt a representative democracy where the president makes a decision, if someone is countermanding that I think we need to get to the bottom of that and I -- I hope President Trump will say, Who is countermanding my orders? I said get rid of his clearance.' And I do think that Brennan has been a partisan. And I think Brennan also abused his office in developing the Trump investigation. I think it was done under false pretenses and done for political reasons."
