Rand Paul to oppose Donald Trump border emergency declaration Sunday, March 3, 2019 “I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress,” Mr. Paul said. “We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn’t authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it’s a dangerous thing.” He joins Republican Sens.

YET, remember the Congressional Hush/Slush Fund? Congress paid out $17 million in settlements. Here’s why we know so little about that money.CNNThu November 16,2017When was this money paid out? According to a report from the Office of Compliance, more than $17 million has been paid out in settlements over a period of 20 years – 1997 to 2017. How many settlements have there been? According to the OOC data released Thursday, there have been 268 settlements…The previous tally did not include settlements paid in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Where did the settlement money come from? Taxpayers.Once a settlement is reached, the money is not paid out of an individual lawmaker’s office but rather comes out of a special fund set up to handle this within the US Treasury – meaning taxpayers are footing the bill. The fund was set up by the Congressional Accountability Act, the 1995 law that created the Office of Compliance. https://archive.is/67VoP https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/16/politics/settlements-congress-sexual-harassment/index.html

AND reminder of this, perpetrating that fauci LIE 3 YEARS after even CNN reported the FACT:
June 20,2023(VID1) Scott Morefield@SKMorefield Sen. @RandPaul rips Trump for keeping Fauci around: "He should not be so proud of keeping Fauci around. Fauci was a menace to the truth. Talk about a fount of misinformation. It's Anthony Fauci. More misinformation came out of the government than any other source, so he should have fired him." 8:01 PM · Jun 20, 2023 https://archive.is/RwAoA Guy twatted that faux clip: https://twitter.com/skmorefield/status/1671307345236770817 The garbage faux entertainer (8 p.m.) let him spew it, too.
CNN July 17, 2020: Under federal law, Trump doesn’t have the power to directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant, and remove him from government.And while Trump could try ordering his political appointees to dismiss the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci could appeal – a time-consuming process. https://archive.is/ngWSj https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/13/politics/can-trump-fire-fauci/index.html
