Ted Cruz mocks Trump-Russia investigation: 'This wasn't Jason Bourne. This was Beavis and Butthead'

Sen. Ted Cruz mocked the Justice Department's and FBI’s conduct during the Trump-Russia investigation, describing it as being more of an animated sitcom about incompetent teenagers than a spy thriller.

The Texas Republican, who has a penchant for making popular culture references, harped on responsible leadership during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with the Justice Department watchdog, who released a report this week on the FBI's effort to monitor members of President Trump's 2016 campaign.

“I can tell you from my time at the Department of Justice and from my time in law enforcement, any responsible leader when hearing that you’re talking about sending in spies and sending in a wiretap on any presidential nominee should say, ‘What in the hell are we doing?'” Cruz said. “And by the way, the people up the chain who are saying ‘We didn’t know,’ if you had responsible leadership, there’s no more important decision than you make."

Ted Cruz my hero and someday I hope he will be president at least he respects our serving president even though they both campaigned for president that is called class people. He is one of the good guys.
