Rand Paul Press Conference outside the White House (Looks at home)
Senator Paul discusses his Economic Freedom Zone plan as it compares to President Obama’s Promise Zone plan. Sen. Paul also called for NSA Director James Clapper to be held accountable for lies he told to Congress.
Here’s an amusing exchange with reporters starting around 5:00:
“…those who call for some sort of frontier justice for him (Edward Snowden) need to understand there needs to be equal protection and the law needs to be applied equally. James Clapper, by all accounts, committed perjury which is punishable by five years in prison and if you want to throw the book at Snowden I think it’s a little hard to say, “O, but we’re not going to do anything about James Clapper lying to Congress.”
A reporter then asked, “You’re not going to compare what Clapper did to Snowden are you?” Sen. Paul shot back, “I think I just did,” with a smile.
