So once again a bill was passed, signed into law, and ignored by the administration. Tell me again why we the people should obey ANY law on the books.

[@sampaul9986]

Why does nobody go to jail?? If I break a law I’d be arrested.

[@sosume5]

They refused to comply with his request and should be held in contempt. People protecting corruption need to go to jail.

[@MonkeyMind69]

It amazes me how little power our "elected officials" actually have, over the un-elected agencies behind the scenes. Who's really running the country?

[@robertwest2879]

Any Federal employee who withholds or obstructs should be dismissed and their pension and healthcare benefits forfeited!

[@paulhewitt5198]

Start jailing these people who obstruct!!!!

[@carlsanders7824]

THESE are the people that should be held in contempt and sent to prison for REFUSING to follow the law.

[@cmodomo]

I'm going to start redacting my tax filings every year.

[@FunnyBunny-pd5xx]

Republican SEN. Rand Paul ♥️

[@sw23971]

For the citizens that don't believe our government is corrupt. If you were an employee given the task of producing a 500 page report and the end result was 500 pages that were blank? In the real world, you'd be removed from that job, demoted or fired.

[@DavidCrossman1]

Dear Dr. Paul, We the People can certainly appreciate how frustrating it must be for you to work so diligently to reveal waste and corruption in government, only to be largely ignored by that government and continue to have your warnings go unheeded. PLEASE don't ever give up! ONE voice of reason and sanity in government is far better than NONE. Keep it up. Fight the good fight and know that there are millions of us who support you and share your determination to carry a candle into that dark room. You are our voice. Thank you.

[@Rubendybs]

Theres no accountability, and they are flaunting it

[@kastlerock01]

This crap is tiring and sick. Feel sorry for statesmen like Paul having to deal with all the stink.

[@Mark-888]

Government officials that obstruct---should be CHARGED with OBSTRUCTION!

[@TonyTowey-zr6pr]

So when do we get to see people hauled away in cuffs?? Sick of these hearings with no one held accountable

[@johnfarley2365]

We need way more rand pauls in washington. He is a sliver of hope in our collapsing political system.

[@GbUSA321]

Why isn't anyone held responsible in the government?

[@janofb]

The problems is the House keeps funding those departments. CUT OFF THE FUNDING.

[@dageevil]

Why aren't these people arrested? We deserve better.

[@rworded1]

Bernie Bro here. I'm grateful for Mr. Rand's efforts to investigate this matter, and I'm disgusted by our government's total lack of transparency.
