Rand Paul: “If they were drug dealers, why wouldn't we prosecute them…”

“I don't know because I don't have any of the evidence. There's also an anomaly in the sense that one of the boats where a bunch were killed, there were two that survived. If they were drug dealers, why wouldn't we prosecute them, present evidence of the drugs, show the arms they were about to invade us with or show us something. Instead they're being sent back to Colombia and to Ecuador without a trial and no one sort of trying to find out, well, who is the one behind this massive conspiracy to invade America with drugs.” (03:36–03:47)
