Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday praised the choice of Robert Mueller to lead the investigation into whether President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential elections.

"I don't think it was necessary to appoint a special counsel," Cruz said. "But the Department of Justice made the decision to do that. If they are going to appoint a special counsel, Bob Mueller is an excellent choice."

Cruz said Mueller, a former FBI director with a sterling reputation, would conduct a fair investigation.

So critical that an investigation based on fake news must go forward and it must be thorough? And an establishment hack who botched the anthrax case is an excellent choice in your mind. Thanks, Ted.

I’m a Cruz guy but I am very disappointed in this statement assuming it is accurately reported.

Why not just keep your mouth shut on it Ted? Trump, your old enemy, should never have been investigated in the first place.

Where’s the gain for you making this statement? You just pissed a lot of your supporters off.

Posting from May of 2017? Don’t you think that Cruz might have a different opinion now? A few things have changed, but I guess a lot of folks will never change their minds about Cruz as evidenced by feeling compelled to bring this up at this time.

It is accurate, but it is ten months old.

There was never a crime listed. The whole review was a sham.

You might ask what is the point of re-posting an article from last May.

Pretty much everyone in DC respected Mueller & thought he would be an unbiased arbiter. They were wrong. All of them.

Now can we quit the Cruz bashing?

Just saw that the statement came out ten months ago: still TCruz was wrong on this.

It was critical to appoint a special *investigator* with a track record of lying shamelessly to get convictions? That ‘good choice’?

Ted Cruz is trying to help Mueller and the democrats do the coup against Trump.

Seems Ted would like to live in South Africa because that’s what the democrats will turn the USA into if they get rid of Trump.

Think not? Blacks are almost 13 % of the population . Hispanics 16% that’s 29% total.Add other minorities including Muslims and you have 44% . This is why the media smears Trump as being racist.

So says the original founder of #NeverTrump-ism via the "Cruz Crew" which lead to the "Resistance" taken on by Clinton and Obama/Soros shadow government.

I now sound like a Parrot! The best thing to say at times is NOTHING.I guess agenda and pride supersede the ultimate good fight. Is this guy as much "Sour grapes" as Clinton? Is this once rising star, called one of the smartest at Harvard Law, as dim of a bulb as every other Ivy League bureaucrat in DC?

I give the left credit for they are always united, never talk out of turn nor disparage other Liberals. They also play by the book of win at all cost and know what is at stake at every level.
