Senator Probing Ted Cruz Leak Missed GOP Debate Because He Was Watching 'The Voice'

[Don Corleone]

the Senate Intelligence Committee,

Talk about an 'oxymoron'.

[Mr Rogers]

What Cruz said can be found in a Washington Post article from last year. The putz who says he is going to investigate it just confirmed those numbers ARE the same as the classified numbers.

IOW, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has NOW revealed classified information!

[BlackElk]

Someone remind me as to why we need this spineless unprincipled puke in the US Senate. Does he serve ANY useful purpose whatsoever or is he simply another John McCain? North Carolina owes more to America.

[Solson]

this assclown won't investigate Hillary for leaks of classified information but will launch an investigation over a Cruz statement of little consequence?

Someone send this guy some tampons.

[Mr Rogers]

Thanks to gwgn02 & justlittleoleme for posting these links in another thread.

Also good to note: “Burr does not believe the specific information in question was released to anyone not on the Intelligence Committee”

Cruz is not on the Intelligence Committee...

You would think a Senator would be interested enough to watch who will be the next Republican Presidential candidate. I wish someone would mount a challenge to him in the Republican primary.

[bigbob]

I would note the “R” after his name.

[Duchess47]

In fairness, no reason for him to watch it live. He can/could watch it anytime after the fact.

[apocalypto]

What does Marco Rubio going for him? If elected, you can be sure there will be no end by Hillary’s supporter to file lawsuits claiming he is not a natural born citizen. He lacks experience. There are quite a few potential scandals. Looking at him, does he project maturity and leadership? No.

[[Does he serve ANY useful purpose ]]

Yes, for the democrats- He’s helping democrats by eating his own just like the other rinos in the GOPe

[Bob434]

is cruz on the committee? If not, then the info is out In the public BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE on the committee no doubt-

Psssst Brrr- it’s not cruz you need to investigate- it’s the committee for leaking the info - just a heads up there bub-

[SmokingJoe]

The GOPe just don't get it. The more they attack Ted Cruz from the left, the better he does in the polls.

[rrrod]

lil dickie burr

[higgmeister]

lol, I had a Top Secret clearance in the Air Force. When I got to my first duty station I was really told that, but they went farther to say that 90% of all classified material was to keep it away from Congress.

[Fresh Wind]

Aw, Jeez, not THIS guy again...

Or tell Hillary! This whole charade is ludicrous after what Clinton has done with her classified emails. I doubt she will get so much as a stare-down.

I just have to smile about the way Trump and Cruz put the big ole smack down on Bush and Rubio.
