Ted Cruz: Possible Biden Impeachment ‘Qualitatively Different’ from Trump Impeachments Because of Bribery AllegationsJeff Poor 13 Aug 2023
During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to fellow Republican lawmaker Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who recently advised House Republicans against presidential impeachment.
Cruz said the two previous Trump impeachments were “bogus” and that pursuing impeachment against President Joe Biden was “qualitatively different” because of the circumstances.
“Senator, then what is going on in the Senate with your Republican colleagues?” Bartiromo asked. “Here’s what Mitch McConnell said this week: ‘I said two years ago, when we had not one, but two impeachments, that once we go down this path, it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing. Impeachment ought to be rare. This is not good for the country.'”
“Does McConnell not understand the bribery charges?” she continued. “Does he not see these bank records that we have right here? Let’s put those bank records up on screen because we have the bank records that House Oversight Committee lawmakers have released indicating $5 million to Hunter, the $5 million to Joe, all of these 20 shell companies where foreigners were sending millions, and then eventually the money made its way into Biden family bank accounts. So what does Mitch McConnell say? Have you spoken to your colleague Mitch McConnell?”
“Look, I have no idea what Mitch knows or doesn’t know,” Cruz replied. “I will tell you, there are very few people in the Senate that are following closely the details of what’s happening here. Part of the reason is Senate Democrats want to have nothing to do with it. So we won’t have a single hearing for the next two years in the Senate Judiciary Committee on any of this because the Democrats do not care. Not a single Democrat cares whether the president of the United States has received millions of dollars of bribes from foreign nationals. It doesn’t matter because they put partisan politics above the rule of law.”
