Ron Paul Worries of ‘Setback of Civil Liberty’ with Jeff Sessions as Attorney General

by | Jan 12, 2017

Speaking Wednesday with host Kennedy at Fox Business, former House of Representatives Member Ron Paul (R-TX) opined that President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions “wouldn’t qualify as a good civil libertarian” and would be “a great danger for the setback of civil liberty” as the leader of the Department of Justice. In particular, Paul pointed out that Sessions, a Republican senator from Alabama, is a supporter of the PATRIOT Act and an ardent advocate for the drug war.

Watch Paul’s complete interview here:


Paul spoke more about Sessions potentially becoming attorney general on the Monday episode of the Ron Paul Liberty Report.
