Sen. Rand Paul says he delivered Trump letter to Putin

Source: WKYT

MOSCOW (WKYT) - Sen. Rand Paul, R - Ky., says he has delivered a letter on behalf of President Donald Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Paul announced the delivery Wednesday afternoon while meeting with various Russian leaders throughout the week.

“I was honored to deliver a letter from President Donald J. Trump to President Vladimir Putin’s administration,” Paul said, “The letter emphasized the importance of further engagement in various areas including countering terrorism, enhancing legislative dialogue and resuming cultural exchanges.”

The Kentucky Republican says Russian and American lawmakers need to work closer than before, saying the lack of dialogue is the biggest problem between the two countries.

This is potentially a crime, but expect more hand deliveries with the next set of GOP sycophants visiting Russia this month.

Nauseating little treasonous turd. I hate that he is a senator from my home state, hell, I hate BOTH senators from my home state, neither one gives a damn about this country.

Rand Paul is such an Alex Jones guy that I wouldn't be at all surprised if he wasn't asshole deep in Russian shit himself!

Wed Aug 8, 2018, 11:44 AM
Aug 2018

President-elect Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday that messages "should be sent via courier like in the old days" to ensure security.

"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe," Trump responded when asked about the importance of cybersecurity, according to pool reporters.

"I don't care what they say, no computer is safe. I have a boy who's 10 years old, he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier," Trump reiterated.

He is basically admitting that they want a permanent partnership with Russia between the Republican party and the Russian government and/or mafia to "secure" all elections going forward. And make Mitch McConnell's wet dream of a permanent Republican majority cum true.
