Rand Paul, who has been adding to the long list of excuses for why it is OK for trump to steal classified documents belonging to the U.S. Government, seems to have woken up to the fact the trump will likely be charged with espionage. So, his solution is … to repeal the Espionage Act!
Why this sudden change of mind this week? He has been a strong proponent of using the espionage act to prosecute people when they are non-republicans.

John McCain warned us ...
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Moscow) in a nutshell -
We live in dangerous times — not just because of trump, but because of his army of brown shirts and a republican party that has gone 100% fascist in its quest for power and wealth and is controlled by a group of sociopaths, both domestic and foreign.
Let’s fight back this ugly narrative from the lawless right to defend trump, a narrative that is getting uglier and uglier by the minute with calls for violence and calls to dismantle the state. Let’s seize the moment to educate the American public that trump and his enablers, which includes the entire republican party leadership, are modern-day Nazis, whose goal is to destroy our Democracy and the American way of life, so that they hold on to power and wealth. They are a vocal group, they are a minority, but they will remain a minority only if the majority fights back.
