Rand Paul wants to legalize espionage

Pretty funny that the guy who spends his Fourth of July in Russia wants to legalize espionage...

You shouldn't speak so poorly of @Federal Farmer 's first boycrush. Seriously, he is right in the middle of some fanfic ship of Rand and stephen segal that I am still reading, and every time you do that he has to cry for a month and we all have to wait for the next chapter.

He's a Russian asset. McCain had him pegged 7 years ago.

Wow Rand Paul’s (R-Moscow) timing here is so weird!!!

I seem to recall there are some pretty long-abused provisions of the Act, but repealing it whole and now is clearly pandering to the worst of the MAGAts, if not straight up to get Trump off the hook.

So he gets paid by the Russians or what and if that’s true why doesn’t the FBI go after him, is it a free speech thing?

Not all assets are paid.

Some are just useful idiots.

So how does it work, they tell him what to say or they common goals?

Or just plain tribalism: "Democrats don't like that Putin worked to help Trump get elected. Democrats bad, therefore Putin good."

It's like the mob, the low level guys get caught and punished while the guys at the top are harder to catch unless someone flips.

Man, these people are selling out for very little money.

People are dumb and surprisingly cheap when it comes to selling out their countries for money. We had a guy in Canada selling naval secrets to Russia for 3k a month.

I won't say I can't be bought, but I'm at a point in life where I have enough money for anything (not everything) I want. The problems I have money won't solve anyway. That said, if it were to happen it would take a LOT more than a few thousand Loonies a month.

I'd burn a mountain of money like Joker just to see the look on people's faces.

What if they paid you in quatloos?

Mods, please change @Federal Farmer's username to "Useful Idiot".

Thanks.

Gold pressed latinum or nothing.

Kompromat is a thing too.

We know you are...

but "useful"?

you're pushing it.

Everyone's useful to somebody.
A hooker with Taco Bell runs is useful to a fecophile.

When your party has been reduced to nothing but competitive sycophant-ry, then by definition the price of the King's favor inevitably escelates.

I assume that wouldn't even work. In jurisdiction where pot possession is no longer illegal those already convicted don't go free unless the law specifically says so or the governor commutes their sentence. You can't retroactively make a traitor innocent.

It wouldn't be about repealing the law in order for Trump to not get convicted under it, necessarily. Rather it would be about muddying the waters enough so that if Trump is actually tried, there'd be a decent shot at jury nullification with enough people in the potential pool agreeing with Rand Paul that the Espionage Act impinges on the 1st Amendment.
