'Barack Obama pushed hard partisans ... It has now metastasized'

Joe Biden has succeeded in turning the Department of Justice, the FBI and other intelligence agencies into political weapons, a scheme that Richard Nixon tried – unsuccessfully – to do.

That was because the system worked, and fought back against his politicization campaign, according to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

He was on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, and his comments were reported online at Washington Stand.

Cruz explained how Biden, "despite a checkered and often unpopular record," succeeded where no longer president has over the last 50 years, the report explained.

"The U.S. Senate confirmed in the 1970s that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had the FBI investigate people who sent him letters opposing his foreign policies; the Kennedy administration wiretapped journalists and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.; and Lyndon B. Johnson spied on the 1964 presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater," the report said.

Clinton started the process, but it was Obama who brought it to fruition.

Ok. I will accept that. But it was the Clinton administration that did the heavy lifting.

Cruz is in error.

Biden just happens to be the full benefactor to the work done prior.
