RAND PAUL:  Yes.  He would not work in my administration, because the thing is is that we have to be able to trust our officials.  And when you&#039;re doing this and when you have the ability to completely destroy people&#039;s lives, you have the ability to actually kill people overseas, I would think that you really have to have the utmost trust.  And I think he&#039;s lost our trust by
