Rand had a right to be an ass and not answer her questions, but he doesn't have a right to sic the capitol police on her if that is what he did here. I don't know that he did that yet, it could have been someone else that did it. I will wait until more facts come out before I pass judgment on this against Rand. However the capitol police I will judge now, they have no right to harass people like that and abuse their authority when people are doing nothing wrong.

That's pretty much my take. All the vid shows is that Rand wouldn't answer questions, which is disappointing. But it doesn't show that Rand was involved with calling in any police action.
When you think about the immense pressures that exist in DC, I think it might be worth considering just how much personal stamina it requires to hold on to principles. I'm not talking about selling out for money or personal gain, but rather while you are there, you try to implement good stuff, and then are faced with obstacles. So you try to get around those as best you can, and doing that sort of thing week in and week out for months or years eventually makes you cut corners and compromise in at least some areas. If there's anything to that, then maybe that's what's sucking Rand into the abyss with the Mittens endorsement, and maybe this too. Everyone is human.

The election of these assholes (now including Rand) does not entitle them to protection from the press's inquiry's in any way. They can choose not to answer on camera and then that is the story. When the Capitol Police are used to silence, intimidate, or fire a member of the press we all lose.
That's why they call it a police state.
This girl will have a hard time filling Alyona's shoes, she lacks both skill and poise that I'm afraid experience is not going to bring her.
But it doesn't show that Rand was involved with calling in any police action.
These people are trustworthy, they are not makiing this up. They were both big rand supporters, not adversaries.Because of her unwavering questions, Rand used his position to try and get her fired and arrested. That shows his true colors.
If Rand didnt take the action then who do you think did? Who would have such authority? He is the senator, not his underlings.
