To its credit, Wednesday's NBC Today actually brought on Republican Senator Rand Paul to react to Hillary Clinton's Tuesday press conference regarding the email scandal. However, co-host Matt Lauer used the second half of the interview to parrot Clinton's attacks on the GOP: "...she talked about this open letter that you and forty-six other Republican senators wrote and then signed and sent off to the leaders of Iran during very delicate negotiations over this nuclear deal. She said that you and the others were either trying help Iran or undermine...the commander-in-chief."

Lauer grilled Paul: "Let me just ask you, if you're no longer Senator Rand Paul, but President Rand Paul, and you're trying to conduct foreign policy in the midst of delicate negotiations, would you want members of the Senate undermining that?"
