RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 2/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 2, Paul appoints Dimitri Simes as for pol advisor, who visits Putin, introduces Kislyak to Trump orbit. McCain vs Paul.
Part 2 - Rand Paul & Dimitri Simes
McConnell puts Rand on SenForRelCmte. Rand names Dimitri Simes foreign policy advisor in '14. Simes speaks at a Kremlin forum, supports Putin on Syria, Putin calls Simes his “American friend and colleague.” @alanagoodman freebeacon.com/politics/rand-…
Dimitri Simes is the person who first introduces Jared Kushner to Sergei Kislyak in an Apr16 event SIMES HAS ARRANGED so Trump can give a speech. @RyanLizza writes that the meeting is seen as a green light for Russia to further interfere with the election. newyorker.com/news/ryan-lizz…
Backgr. Dimitri Simes came to US from Russia. washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest… He advised Nixon, was criticized as too pro-Russia. His Center is a "platform for the Russian gov't in the heart of the DC policy establishment" with deep ties to Moscow.
@alanagoodman freebeacon.com/politics/rand-…
Of Rand Paul, Sen John McCain said, “I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.” Mar'17 At stake was protection of Montenegro, who had just faced a Russia-backed coup attempt - on its ELECTION DAY en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegr…

RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 4/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 4, we look at how Paul's behavior has become even more aggressively pro-Russia. Has he become a #PutinPuppet?
Part 4 - Rand Paul on Russia

Rand Paul is aggressively pro-Russia. After a Mar 2018 mtg, the Russian Embassy tweeted text about “improving Russia US relations, restoring…dialogue.” The tweet was deleted and revised, removing “improving” and “restoring.” businessinsider.com/russian-embass…
Rand Paul objected to a resolution Jul 2018 to protect US elections from Russian interference, saying “it’s a “waste of time” to hold Putin accountable. “They’re going to interfere with our elections and we also do the same.” @cnn @thehill thehill.com/homenews/sunda…

RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 3/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 3, we see that Rand Paul loves the lavish oligarch life, spends campaign donations on himself, and plays with the rich.
Part 3 - Rand Paul as aspiring oligarch

Many feel the US is already becoming like Russia in their corruption, inequality, and limited freedom and opportunity. A few, the oligarchs, control the wealth, and most people are kept poor. This is why Rand Paul's behavior is an issue.
Rand Paul’s salary is $174,000, and net worth $1.3 M (2015) opensecrets.org/personal-finan…. But he's raised much more, $31.3 M, in campaign money opensecrets.org/members-of-con…. @OpenSecretsDC Have all of those political donations been spent as permitted and donors intended? Apparently not.

RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 1/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 1, the first RUSSIAN INFO ATTACK on a US Election occurs in the presidential race of 2008. #PutinPuppet test?

tl;dr -
Ron Paul's US pres campaign 2008 was a trial run for RUSSIAN ELECTION ATTACK. Rand Paul is elected '12. McConnell puts Rand on ForRelCmte. He appoints pro-Kremlin Dimitri Simes, who in Apr'16 first introduces Kushner and Trump to Kislyak. Rand behaves like an oligarch wannabe.
Part 1 - the Paul elections
Rand Paul worked on his father’s 1988 presidential campaign as the Libertarian candidate. Ron received less than 1% of the vote. They both know what a failed campaign looks like. npr.org/sections/itsal…
