Jesse Benton was pardoned by Russian asset Donald J Trump.
Russian spies look after each other.
Rand Paul works for Putin. His voting record is always pro-Russia. He hand-delivered a letter to Putin. No surprise his family has been groomed, as well, to serve our enemies in Russia.
Naming your kid after soulless Russian Ayn Rand was no mistake for Ron Paul.
Ex-Rand Paul aide pardoned by Trump is charged with funneling Russian money into 2016 election
Jesse Benton faces between 5 and 20 years in prison if convicted
Jesse Benton and Doug Wead pleaded not guilty to six felony charges, including facilitating a campaign contribution by a foreign national.
Two veteran Republican campaign operatives — including one who got a pardon from then-President Donald Trump one month before he left office — are charged in a new federal indictment with funneling $25,000 from a Russian national into the Trump campaign in 2016.
[...]
The grand jury indictment alleges that Benton and Wead worked together to accept $100,000 from an unidentified Russian national in order to get the foreigner a meeting with then-candidate Trump at a fundraiser in Philadelphia on Sept. 22, 2016.
[...]
The indictment suggests that Benton and Wead hoped to make money from the scheme and did — taking $100,000 from the Russian, but paying only $25,000 to Trump Victory, a joint venture between the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.

Follow the Rubles. Easier now that they're practically worthless.
It would be really nice if these traitorous scum would start being sent to prison. But, being white men ...

Ron Paul Weighs in on Somalia
Jesse Benton of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty forwards this statement from the former presidential candidate.
In light of the danger American ships face, and with the Obama Administration now considering military action against pirates in Somalia, I thought you might enjoy Dr. Paul's new video on the subject.
He argues that:
1) Intervention in the regional has added to the instability the breeds pirates
2) The United States should consider a constitutional approach to the situation, such as Marque and Reprisal, where shipping companies are allowed to defend themselves.
3) The U.S. should not take this as an opportunity to expand overseas military spending the Middle East.
He raises some interesting points.  Your thoughts?
A jury in Iowa today convicted three former Ron Paul campaign aides for campaign finance-reporting crimes after a long legal saga. Back during the 2012
Back during the 2012 Ron Paul campaign, state Sen. Kent Sorenson made a dramatic switch from support for Michele Bachmann to support for Ron Paul. It turns out he was encouraged to do so by a $73,000 payoff via the campaign. (Ironically, hitting Bachmann at that point in the campaign likely harmed Paul's cause by elevating the previously nowheresville Rick Santorum.)
The payments to Sorenson was not properly reported as required by campaign finance law, and this week three Paul campaign operatives were found guilty on charges related to it, after a long, complicated history of indictments and trials and previous failures to convict. (No one involved believes Paul himself was aware or approved of the payoffs.)
Two of the operatives, Jesse Benton, Paul's top political adviser in 2012 who is married to one of Paul's granddaughters, and John Tate, his campaign manager, were found guilty on four charges, all related to filing false records to the government regarding the expenditure.
Tate had been running a Paul-associated grassroots advocacy group, Campaign for Liberty, between and after Paul's presidential runs, and both he and Benson had been higher-ups with a Rand Paul-supporting SuperPAC, America's Liberty.
The payment was funneled through an audio/visual services company with links to Dimitri Kesari's family. Kesari was found guilty today on three charges.
