Sen Paul says Ukraine aid package would ‘tie the hands’ of future administrations

Focking liberals.

Sen. Rand Paul agrees with Sen. J.D. Vance's memo that Ukraine aid package could handcuff Trump if he wins 2024 presidential election

Several conservatives agree with Sen. JD Vance's memo circulated early Monday that there's a "hidden" clause in the national security supplemental bill that he believes could be grounds to impeach former President Donald Trump from office if elected to office later this year. 

Vance sent a memo to GOP lawmakers highlighting that the bill, which would send billions of federal dollars to Ukraine, assures the delivery of funding through September 2025. Trump, however, has vowed to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of gaining office, which would also end funding.

Vance's memo claimed that the supplemental bill "represents an attempt by the foreign policy blob/deep state to stop President Trump from pursuing his desired policy, and if he does so anyways, to provide grounds to impeach him and undermine his administration," and he urged Republicans to block its passage. 

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, said he supported Vance's memo on Monday, arguing that Democrats are "setting up" for a possible Trump presidential win.

"They're locking in foreign aid that will even tie the hands of the next president," Paul told Fox News Digital in an interview. "So, I think it's a terrible idea. But also, if the next President were to try to have a different policy, you can see the Democrats again starting an impeachment."

"I think they're going to try to impeach him before he gains office now, and that's exactly what this is," he said.

 

Mark Paoletta, former Office of Management and Budget (OMB) General Counsel during the Trump Administration, told Fox News Digital in a statement that the clause in the bill text is an "effort to inappropriately tie President Trump’s hands in his next term by locking in Ukraine funding for multiple years." 

"In a presidential election year, Congress should not be making long-term funding commitments, particularly in foreign policy, that will attempt to tie the hands of the next commander in chief," Paoletta said. "President Trump had every right to pause the Ukraine funding for about 60 days, given his concerns about corruption in Ukraine and how best to spend those funds."

He added, "As OMB General Counsel, I issued the legal justification to pause the funding, and would do it again today."

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said the provision in the bill "is gonna force him to send money and spend money for Ukraine."

"This is in the bill," Tuberville told Fox News Digital. "So, it's just another situation where the Democrats are doing something and working towards making sure that money's spent in a certain area where American taxpayers and this country don't have."

The Trump administration, through the OMB, withheld a total of about $400 million of security assistance from Ukraine in 2019. This came just before Trump asked Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelenskyy to investigate the family of his 2020 rival, Joe Biden, and while the White House allegedly was withholding an Oval Office visit from Zelenskyy in exchange for that investigation.

These actions are what fueled the impeachment effort against Trump, in which he was ultimately acquitted. 

Trump has indicated that if he is elected president this year, he would resolve the war in Ukraine "within 24 hours."

Nothing. biden and the liberals just HAVE to spend the 100s of billions because they know Trump wouldn't. Hell, there wouldn't even be a war if Trump were still in office.

[IGotWorms 4,057]

It would be contrary to Trump's desire to commit treason upon the United States and do another favor for his benefactor, Vladimir Putin. Yes, that is true.

[Mike Honcho 5,097]

I'm sure Rand was just as concerned when Trump set an expedited withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Ukraine won't and can't win. Putin can make this a 50 year war if he wants to. He has the  population and military to do so. Ukraine is already thin and losing more each day. 

Putin knows he can wear them down and out. Time will be the death of Ukraine.

In my last job, I worked with a guy from Russia. He was in Slovenia so as to avoid being sent to war. An entire generation was sent to war, they were sent from Russia to go to Ukraine. The men in Ukraine are fighting for their country.  This guy is a shitehead, and so are you. 

eta - might have been Slovakia.
