As Americans who believe in the rule of law raged over FBI Director James Comey announcing he would not be recommending charges against Hillary Clinton, one man was having his “I told you so” moment on social media.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reposted an article from 2013 headlined Sen. Rand Paul is lone dissenter as James Comey confirmed for FBI post with the words, “I’m just gonna leave this right here.” Touché.
Within 9 hours the post had received over 23,000 likes/reactions and almost 5,000 shares on Facebook. The Washington Times piece Rand linked to also became the 2nd most popular article on the website despite being 3 years old.
According to the article, Comey was confirmed by the Senate 93-1 on July 29, 2013. Today Rand’s sole no vote appears quite prescient.
