Democrats are pushing false accusations that President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia, according to Republican Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky).

"They've sunk their teeth into something, they think they'll eventually find something. Everything is, sort of, built upon a huge myth as far as I'm concerned. I don't think there's been any facts presented that anybody broke the law. Yet this goes on and on," Paul said Wednesday on the Fox News program "Fox & Friends."

"Not only is there no evidence that the Trump administration or campaign was connected to Russia or committed any crime, no evidence at all of committing a crime. There's not even an accusation that I know of what crime potentially would have potentially been committed," the senator said.

"So all this breathless talk about people, there's a lot of hypocrisy going on," Paul added.

Paul said that Democrats also wanted FBI Director Jim Comey to be fired.

"They were for getting rid of Comey, too, but now they're going to say it's all about this Russia investigation, which hasn't produced one iota of evidence," Paul said.

Before his firing, Comey had sought more resources for his investigation into Russian interference in the election, according to The New York Times.

Rand Paul: Trump Collusion With Russia 'Huge Myth' by Democrats - Newsmax

No, he didnt say wiretapped but Senator Rand Paul announced on Fox News that he thinks the Obama administration spied on him. And even though Paul made it clear he has no evidence of it, Sean Hannity was already salivating to lock up President Obama and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

PAUL: Weve been hearing rumors and anonymous sources have been telling us for a couple of months now that they believe that the Obama administration was spying on other presidential candidates other than Trump and that it may be politically motivated. I dont have the evidence. I havent seen the evidence but I have requested it. Ive asked the White House to look into it and Ive asked both of the intelligence committees.

[] I have made formal, written request to find out if the Obama administration did, indeed, spy on me.

Do you think Paul's salacious speculation has anything to do with the fact that Rand Paul isthinking of runningfor president in 2020?

Hannity didnt bring it up, of course. Heck, he didn't even care that Paul had no evidence yet.

Senator, this is deep and profound! Hannity declared. Were talking about trampling on Fourth Amendment Constitutional rights here! He sounded more delighted than sad. Wouldnt it mean that Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Jarrett, Rhodes and maybe the president could have broken laws if they did this for political purposes, sir? This is an important question!

Its also a dishonestly self-serving one given that Hannity doesnt know that it was done at all, much less why.

Absolutely, Paul agreed. Weve had trouble with Clapper before. Clapper was the one that came to the Senate and lied, under oath. But, he added, Theres a lot of people who want to sweep this under the rug.

Tell me who those Republicans are off air and well be sure to bring them on, too, Hannity threatened.

Watch it below, from the May 8, 2017 Hannity.

"I reiterate my previous requests that your committee promptly investigate whether my name or the names of other members of Congress, or individuals from our staffs or campaigns, were included in queries or searches of databases of the intelligence community, or if their identities were unmasked in any intelligence reports or products," Paul wrote in a letter released publicly Monday.

He added that he also wants a "clear answer on whether your committee received a Gates notice related to me or to members of my staff," referring to the notification Congress receives if a lawmaker's name is revealed in an intelligence report.

Paul also publiclyreleased an April letter to Trump, which references the same report from Circa, shortlyafter his tweet.

"An anonymous source recently alleged to me that my name, as well as the names of other members of Congress, were unmasked, queried or both in intelligence reports or intercepts during the previous administration," Paul wrote in the letter to Trump, dated April 10.

A recent National Security Agency (NSA) report stated that the NSA abided by nearly 2,000 requests to unmask names in 2016. But thereport did not state that the NSA was unmasking names with the hope that they would turn out to be specific people.

His small government and pro-liberty philosophy of government - on education, the economy, regulation, taxes and more - is exactly what we need more of in our politics.

"I have formally requested from the WH and the Intel Committees info on whether I was surveilled by Obama admin and or the Intel community!"PaultweetedFriday.

The tweet appears to build off of President Trump's claim, presented without evidence, that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower during last year's presidential race.

FBI Director James Comey has flatly denied any direct surveillance of the Trump campaign.

The NSA report does not, however, state that the NSA was unmasking names with the hope they would turn out to be specific people.

"Did the Obama admin go after presidential candidates, members of Congress, journalists, clergy, lawyers, fed judges? Did the Obama admin use warrantless 'wiretapping' on other candidates besides @realDonaldTrump?" Paul wrote in his previous two tweets, both linking to a piece from the news organization Circa requesting documents about unmasked intercepts.

Paul has argued that incidental collection of Trump associates' calls with foreign citizens who were themselves under surveillance is "a big deal."

Paul and many civil libertarians argue that, since foreign surveillance requires no warrant, Americans caught up in that surveillance are being observed without a warrant.

Foreign, warrantless surveillance is authorized under Section 702 of theForeign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which comes up for renewal later this year. Comey has described Section 702 as the "crown jewels" of FBI surveillance tools.
