As a Constitutional lawyer, Texas Senator Ted Cruz knows a thing or two about the law.
As a conservative senator, he knows what a tank of sharks Washington, D.C. can be.
After today’s announcement by FBI Director James Comey that Hillary Clinton would skate on charges of wrongdoing, in regards to her hiding, destroying, and total mishandling of sensitive emails, Senator Cruz made a strong statement.
From his Facebook page, and in its entirety:
While I have tremendous respect for the dedicated men and women of the FBI, I have serious concerns about the integrity of Director Comey’s decision, and how it threatens the rule of law.
Director Comey has rewritten a clearly worded federal criminal statute. In so doing, he has come dangerously close to saying that grossly negligent handling of classified information should not result in serious consequences for high-level officials. In a nation where the rule of law is supposed to matter, this is troubling.
Yesterday, Americans celebrated the 240th birthday of our Republic. We honored not only those who fought and died to defend our way of life, but the constitutional Republic for which they sacrificed. If we are to remain a beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the world, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that we remain a nation of laws, and that our laws apply equally and fairly to us all. Under President Obama, we have seen the most politicized Department of Justice in history; I very much hope that politicization has not similarly corrupted the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I join my Senate Judiciary colleagues, including Chairman Grassley, in calling for public transparency of, and full access to, all the information that the FBI used to come to today’s dubious decision.
I dare say, unless you have a transcript of the “chance” meeting between Hillary’s lecherous, corrupt husband, and the equally corrupt Attorney General Loretta Lynch from last week, you won’t get the whole story.
I’ll go further and say that Clinton’s recent suggestion that she may keep Lynch on as AG, once she rousts her pal, Trump, in the general election, doesn’t seem like a “You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” scenario, at all!
Or maybe just a little.
These are the reasons we need men like Senator Cruz in the Senate.
Read the article the ‘her pal, Trump’ didn’t originate with Ted Cruz but rather with the Red State writer.
And the “free traders”, while having a vague idea of Adam Smith, have zero knowledge of the history of international trade of the last fifty years. E.g., World Trade Organization, for starters. But they revel in their absence of information, education and READING. Beck and Levin are prime examples, as are the Cruzlim sheeple who’ve infected FR that last year.
Tthe Iran deal, never forget that he voted for it.
>>>”virtually all of our Senators, at least 98% should be hanged by the neck until dead.”
That sounds like Hillary’s dream circular firing squad.
I think it would be a better idea to point our guns outward, at least until November.
Do a service Ted, to the country. Go away, far.
Maybe so. I guess I feel anyone can change but maybe he can't.

Is that what Ryan, McConnell and the rest are doing? Nope. Fire should be returned from what ever quarter it is fired from. If that is the GOP so be it.
Yes he is — look at his actions.
He’s a good speaker and has stood by us for years.
Which is why he was competing w/ Rubio for the "limited amnesty" vote?
He did not look good in the debates but we still like him.
I don't; his stances on immigration made it clear to me he was unaligned with the States — this was about the time he went with Glenn Beck to pass out soccer-balls and teddy bears.
I hope he stays in the Senate.
I hope the Senate is hanged, well, 98% of them.
Thanks

I was in the airport today when the Comeny surrender was announced. That got me thinking about the fanaticism of Levin and the rest of the tantruming never Trumpers facing the reality of a Trump-Clinton race. Well, here you go CruzCrew fellas/ladies. It’s a time for choosing: Trump or Hillary Rotten Criminal.
>>>”Fire should be returned from what ever quarter it is fired from. If that is the GOP so be it.”
Hillary would love that.
I’m sorry, this is just a way to lose. Make your own choice.
>> Indict Comey for gross negligence of duty.
>
> Congress could end the FBI today.
Very good point; and what they should have done to the NSA after Snowden revealed their unlawful domestic espionage.
Why hasn’t Cruz endorsed the only man standing between us and four more years of Obama lawlessness, like what we saw today but with Hillary’s special brand of malice?
Yeah, Ted makes a nice speech, in print, but action talks and BS walks: when is Cruz going to set aside his petty pride and endorse his party’s nominee, the choice of sane Americans, the recipient of more primary votes than any other GOP candidate in history?
Never? Why not? What is wrong with Ted Cruz?

Given the [in]action we’ve seen from the GOP, even after handing them the MOST powerful branch (Congress), and their willingness to just roll over for “the Democrat agenda” we must come to the realization that the GOP is not aligned with us, it is aligned with the Democrats. This is the reason for the rise of the term “uniparty” and, indeed, that could be expanded into term “globalist objective” — IOW, stop refusing to believe that they are your enemies, as their repeated actions have shown.
What 2 percent do you want Fish?
Apparently you didn't read the linked info, I walk through the evidence and reasoning needed to convict them of literal as-defined-by-the-Constitution Treason.
Why would you want such people to remain in high office?
Honestly, those people aren't in our circle, they see themselves as our lords and masters, and the FBI statement confirms what we've suspected for decades: that they are above the law. (Unless we, as a people, exert our will and demand on-threat-of-pain-and-death that Justice should be done.)
>>>”Why would you want such people to remain in high office?”
I’d really like for Hillary not to be president. If your stance is “they should be hanged by the neck until dead” then you’re doing nothing but helping the democrats.
Again, it’s a recipe for failure in November.
Sorry to be a brat, but Cruz succeeded to flip my switch, forever. He continues to assure me I am correct with each passing day that he grooms his butt hurt and refuses to endorse TRUMP and to get up off the mat and lend a hand to beat Hillary. He will not lift a finger. He does not give a damn. He is in this whole pony show for Ted Cruz.
Maybe a bit clearer.
Elected GOP officeholders have constituents that support them, they have organizations and dedicated field workers, they have phone banks and GOTV efforts in place, ground workers and all level of political supporters. Up and down the line, they’ve worked in the trenches to win election.
If you want to beat Hillary, really want to beat her and not just make a statement, then you don’t keep the attitude that you want to hang their representative.
That’s not the way to unify against Hillary, not the way to beat them. It’s exactly what the liberals want and, just listen to Obama today, what the depend on and promote.
Oh, please. TRUMP and his supporters have had about enough of the deflection and ignoring the incoming from our own side. NO. It is time.. past time.. for those who still give a damn, to fight.
In what manner remains to be seen. It is up to the election. This RINO friendly fire has to stop. With Hillary’s skate today, lawlessness is unleashed and at the door.
