Sen.Ted Cruz, R-Texas, accused former FBI Director Andrew McCabe of leaking information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation to the press behind then-FBI Director James Comey’s back.

Cruz asked the former FBI director if Comey had authorized him to leak information about the investigation into the Clinton Foundation to the press.

“I didn't need James Comey's authorization,” McCabe responded during the Senate’s months-long probe into “Crossfire Hurricane,” which was the code name of the FBI's investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated or colluded with the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election

“I didn’t ask if you needed it. I asked did he authorize you to disclose it. That’s a yes or no question,” Cruz pressed. McCabe said that he himself had authorized the disclosure.

Exactly. Great theater. That’s it. That’s all it ever is. You start to believe they are ALL part of the cabal, playing good cop/ bad cop.

Why Trump hasn’t fired the “plant” McCabe is something I just can’t explain.

Uh, McCabe was fired 2.5 years ago. I hope you haven't spent too much time trying to figure it out.

“Disgusting. I’ve never trusted Cruz.”

What is disgusting?

What did Cruz do that lost your trust?

lol

I thought I was the only person that still used that phrase :)

And yeah wow. Cruz slammed him. He doesn’t fool around.

I could never do that. I go from zero to 100 in a blink and it flusters me and clouds my judgement too often.

To stay calm but still be brutal is awesome

very impressive

And Graham got a word in there too :)

Sometimes he shows courage

During the 2016 primaries I recall seeing Ted Cruz boarding Hillary Clinton’s plane. What do you suppose the reason was for Ted Cruz to be cohorting with the Democrat’s presidential candidate? Cruz may talk the talk just like so many of those who now surround President Trump do but that air plane incident at least raises credibility issues for Cruz.

There is just something about McCabe that has absolutely no manliness. I can’t pin it, but, guys would run out of the shower room at the gym when he arrives with his pasty skin.

I don't recall that. My hope was for a Trump/Cruz ticket but that wasn't to be.

I caught Lindsey Graham’s chuckle during his interruption.

It's 9:25 minutes long. The part about the leak comes around at 7:25.

McCabe showed himself to be as big of a weasel as Comey.
Not that that is a surprise to anybody now.
