Happy day! Apparently Rand was the only one who couldn't see this coming, or he wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near his super PAC. Benton should have been kicked to the curb, the second these allegations surfaced. The timing of the announcement should have been expected.

To be fair, Rand wasn't the only one. Collins didn't see it either.

Hindsight is 20/20, but if Benton knew what was good for him, he would have stayed far away from the Rand campaign. I'd wager that he would not have been indicted if he had stayed away completely.

I don't think Benton is capable of the amount of thought you're mentioning in this post.

Jesse will be learning about the 5th Amendment the hard way.

I just read the whole indictment. The email records are pretty damning.

No kidding. 24 hours away from the debate and the DOJ just 'happens' to drop this today..... Sure there's no bad intentions there....

Benton was already under investigation wasn't he? Why in the world did he get involved at all?? Rand should have told him to stay away.

This is precisely the reason I stopped supporting Rand. The day Benton was announced as being in charge of Rand's super-PAC, with all of this hanging over his head, was the day I realized he had no serious intention of pursuing the presidency. It was just about making money for his family. I even assumed the indictment would roll out just before the first debate. This was all so predictable.

For real? How much money has Rand made off his presidential campaign?

 

[PRB]

Question is do they step down from America's Liberty PAC supporting Rand?

they'll be lucky if the feds don't shut down and seize the PAC's funds altogether.

Looks like Rand is finally becoming a threat and the feds are getting desperate to trump up fake charges to disrupt the liberty movement.

 

[PRB]

lol.... what can you even say about this. Political corruption at it's finest. Let 'em fry.

he's innocent, stand with Rand.

Its a shame that thread was closed. It should have been bumped day and night until the Pauls disassociated themselves.

 

[PRB]

How many times will this fool have to embarrass us before he is run out of the movement for good? Or does nepotism trump everything else in the Paul sphere?

if you believe the feds above and before a Paul family member, you're part of the problem.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but the more he is known, the more his political books sell.

it should be closed, because Jesse Benton is a good man, the feds are making shit up to destroy Ron and Rand's legacy. We should trust Rand and Ron's judgment on hiring their own family members, criticizing their staff is criticizing the family and campaign. This is just what the feds want, INFIGHTING. We need to stand together and work with people who believe in our cause, or else the NWO will win.

they're made up

Apparently Collins will be here soon to explain that Rands intention was something other than/bigger than winning.

[Warlord]

Anyone else concerned that the POLITICO article says Rand still has his back? He still wont have anything to do with Benton. Very worrying

 

[William Tell]

PRB is a liberal, everything he is saying here is sarcasm. I guess you didn't know that?

Dang Kent must have some badass audio/video skills.
