Cruz on urging a very serious investigation.

[BackAgain]

There have been a lot of credible congressclowns speaking up on this matter...Not the least bit curious as to why Cruz is suddenly getting the ink?

Honestly, I’m not sure what you’re suggesting.

I’m a more simple guy, I suppose. I either agree with what Cruz is saying or I don’t on any particular matter.

My question, therefore is also simple:

In what he was discussing in my OP, was he right or was he wrong?

I'm catching the distinct whiff of "I desperately need to change the subject" from AIPAC Teddy here.

I’m only guessing that you are suggesting that, in order to discuss the OP topic, Cruz could only have had only one motive: i.e., to change the subject.

Does that seem at all realistic?

Cruz is the guy who said that his raison d'être in the Senate was to be Israel's sort of "big brother" (my words), to the point of (wrongly in context IMO) citing Bible verse to rationalize it.

Not my words, his own.

That dude is Israel-first....He can kiss my ass.

I see lots of more or less “fundamentalist” Christians basing support of Israel on the Bible.

I don’t buy any claim that it makes any of them “Israel first.” I would agree that it makes them, “Israel, too.” I’m ok with that.

The "Israel" of the Bible isn't today's political State, which wasn't even a thing until 1948...Tucker tried pointing this out to Cruz, who got caught flatfooted by the fact.

Cruz's actions show him to be far more Israel-first than "Israel too"...They've shown that they're more than capable of defending themselves, without being our bastard stepchild.

This is well known.

I didn’t see or read that. Link?

I don’t agree.

They've shown that they're more than capable of defending themselves, without being our bastard stepchild.

Again, I don’t know that. I’m not sure how they’d fare without our materiel support.

It's in the recent interview Tucker did with him...He looked completely flummoxed by Tucker.

IMO, he''s now barely distinguishable from any other Bushbot.....I don't trust the dude any farther than I could throw him anymore...

This is very precise targeting of criminal behavior by members of the Obama Administration.

Summary: A close to the end of the Obama Administration meeting which involved then Director of National Intelligence Clapper.

And it marks the date of the very beginning of what may soon become a series of DOJ prosecutions of Clapper and others (possibly to include former President Obama). That date was 12/9/2016.

Some people really don’t like Sen. Cruz. I dunno. He may be tough to work with or work for. But I like the guy. And I really like how clear he is. (And being permitted to speak without being interrupted is a good thing to see! It helps. Just not surprising.)

But man on man. He sure knows how to lay out a case. In this matter, unlike when the left side of the political spectrum here tries to argue about it, the right understands what clearly is really being alleged, here:

People in high positions of trust and authority in the Administration of former President Obama (possibly including the former President, himself) conspired together in a criminal plot to undermine the then pending Trump Administration. It was a treasonous conspiracy (in the strict criminal sense of the word “conspiracy,” not in the alternative and dispariging sense).

Since we are unlikely to see the MSM doing much reporting about this, I’m more of a fan of political discussion boards like USMB than ever.

Yeah okay nothing new is coming out and during TRUMP's 1st term republicans ignored a lot of this stuff and also went along with the Russia investigation hoax...

I’m wading through it. The first 7 minutes sound spot on.

Is there a point at which I can jump ahead to? I’d be interested in seeing what you’re referencing.

Don't know for certain where that particular exchange is...It's all good, just like all of his long form interviews are.

In the end, he came across to me as a dissembling weasel...And it gives me no joy to say that.

Again, I will continue to wade through it. But for the seven minutes or so I’ve looked at, so far, Cruz was excellent.

By the way, I disagree with Tucker and his use of gotcha type questions about the population of Iran. Yeah. It has some relevance. But it isn’t the be all and end all of the discussion.

Personally, I believe that Israel is a pretty decent ally to have in that region. But a discussion of how valuable they are versus how much we donate to them and support them is a perfectly fair question.

That said, the old Biblical meaning of Israel clearly is distinguishable from the political entity of Israel, today. You ain’t wrong about that.

What has Israel done for us, of any serious benefit, lately?

Of course....The brain still works.

I am not sure we’d be privy to it. My hunch is that we value the work of Mossad as an intelligence gathering institution very highly. That doesn’t mean the intel is shared with the likes of me.

Of course....The brain still works.

Part of the brain has wandered off the reservation. And that part has really taken a loooooong walk of late.
