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.

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