Nearly 100% could be 51%. Burr is a putz.

Fox was just saying that Rubio did not say Cruz had divulged classified information, but was just stating that he had to be careful not to do so in his rebuttal.

" Sen. Richard Burr"

Charter Member of the GOPee?

[House Atreides]

More BULLCRAP on a NOTHINGBURGER farted out by the duplicitous, lying Marco Rubio.

I look forward to this used-car salesman finally dropping out of the 2016 race and completing his not distinguished career as a US Senator in January 2017. With any luck, he’ll vanish into the bowels of the GOPe wing of K Street.

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) Liberty Score (47%) ... F

Burr on the “intelligence” committee is an oxymoron. I watched the debate and I can save the (oxy)moron some time: no classified information was divulged. Burr needs to spend less time watching reality shows on TV and more time investigating real instances of national security breaches.

[higgmeister]

Like a US Senator has never done that before.

[Duchess47]

I sure wouldn’t fault him for watching The Voice instead of the debates. I’ve never watched it but last I heard, this was a free country and watching debates was not compulsory.

"Cruz said that investigators can examine "nearly 100%" of phone numbers in terror investigations under the law, while authorities could only do the same for "20% to 30%" before the law's passage."

The law is a public record. How is this supposed to be classified information?

[NEMDF]

If there is anyone in the USA who is not a completely zero-information type, who thinks they cannot access nearly or fully 100% of the records, then what is the big secret? Who would be surprised by this?

Only the MSM would turn this into an issue.

[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]

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.
