“I say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name.”—Sen. Rand Paul at yesterday’s Trump Cult Rally in Kentucky
Fact: Federal whistleblower laws protect the identities of people who bring forth accusations of wrongdoing by government officials.
That means that Sen. Rand Paul, with Donald Trump nodding and clapping behind him, demanded that the media commit a crime. Incitement to Commit a Crime is illegal. While there are First Amendment rights in U.S. law, based on the “imminent lawless action test” (“indefinite” is likely legal and “imminent” is likely illegal), deciding that is what the courts are for.
Therefore, since both Donald Trump and Rand Paul quite likely committed a crime—captured on video and in front of thousands of witnesses—I hereby demand that federal authorities “do their job” and arrest them now!
