Rand’s cockamamie conspiracy theory: With top allies under indictment, Rand thinks DOJ is out to get him - Salon.com

Keep in mind that his is some one who "listens" to Alex Jones, who also has Jones' political support and received monies from the Council of Conservative Citizens as recently as 2012.

When news broke yesterday that the Justice Department had indicted several Rand Paul associates, including one of Paul’s top lieutenants, for their alleged role in a hilariously stupid political payola scheme (more on that in a bit), there was really only one way the Paul campaign could respond: they played the conspiracy card.

“Senator Rand Paul is disappointed that the Obama Justice Department chose to release this just prior to the highly anticipated first Republican presidential debate,” read a statement from Rand HQ, “it certainly appears suspiciously timed and possibly, politically motivated.” So, according to Paul World, the president and DOJ are out to sabotage Rand Paul’s presidential campaign just before the first primary debate of the 2016 election cycle. How deviously Machiavellian.

It’s not surprising that Rand went this route – he is, after all, an accomplished conspiracy theorist. Unfortunately for him, these complaints about the politicization of the indictment process are undermined by a bit of basic logic and the fact that Rand Paul brought this on himself.
