Rand Paul Blocks Mueller Resolution Again, Demands Obama …

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) has blocked a resolution to release the Mueller report again, arguing that full transparency should be aimed for instead of partisan oneupmanship, and demanding the release of documents that detail the Obama administrations involvement in the 2016 election.

According to The Hill,vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen.Mark Warner(D-Va.) asked his fellow lawmakers to vote to approve the resolution to release the documents in full in order tofully understand what the Russians were trying to do and for transparency reasons for the American people.

However, Paul has also aimed at transparency, and once again voted down the resolution on Thursday after Warner refused to make public any dealings former President Barack Obama and his administration had with the Clinton campaign during the 2016 elections:

Senate rules say that one Senator can block a resolution, and Paul fully intends to use this power until Democrats agree to release information that would give us a much larger understanding of what happened during the 2016 elections.

It was so scandalous and so unverified and has turned out to be untrue, and yet this was the basis for the beginning of the investigation, added Paul. This was the basis for doing something extraordinary.

This marks the fifth time the resolution has been blocked, but Paul isnt alone.Sen.Lindsey Graham(R-S.C.) has also shot down the resolution, as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) who is currently wanting to give Mueller andAttorney GeneralWilliam Barr time to work out theform in which theyd like to release the report to the public.
