Joe: Ted Cruz Is Choosing To Ignore US Intel Leaders | Morning Joe | MSNBC
This shows these politicians are not leaders; just the most cowardly of followers
Trump is likely blackmailing Ted Cruz with evidence that he has on Ted’s dad participating in the assassination of JF Kennedy.
Thank you, Donald Trump. In your own creepy, immoral and corrupt way, you’ve more clearly than ever before revealed the true nature of Republican leaders in Washington. We can now see them for the treacherous and traitorous snakes they’ve always been. Let’s hope enough voters see it as well and act accordingly.
@Maharajji NKB You Russian bot trump is the swamp and he is the one staging a coup against the American people . Go F**K YOURSELF!
Got to agree? Right On?
Couldn’t have said it better! So true!
@Linda Scott: Yes, please vote and offer a lift to someone who might not be able to get to their polling place.
Republicans are begging the American people to throw them out of every parliament.
I’m ok with that.
ALL OF THEM ! ! ! Out Of OFFICE ! !
Treason and we need to be very serious about what happens to those who commit treason against the United States.
Ted eats Putin’s loads.
Vladimir Putin: It would be easier to work with (Obama) than the candidate who has described his country (Russia) as America’s “number one geopolitical foe.”
I was no fan of Ronald Reagan, but he’d be turning in his grave to see cowed Republicans pushing Kremlin propaganda…how low will this party sink to protect a criminal President?…
Kompromat is a powerful tool.
You’re telling me you believe all our intelligence communities findings instead of our stable genius chosen one??
IKR? The nerve…
Tofy. . . .Yes, yes I am. Imagine the level of stupidity required to tell professionals that you know better!
The ‘all 17 Intelligence Agencies agree’ narrative was bogus. The Trump-Russia scam was pushed by three main deep state characters – Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, all under Obama, part of the cabal that attempted to frame and overthrow the President. They are headed for prison.
@Maharajji NKB Thank god, they can join Manafort, Flynn,Cohen, Stone… tbh, if we got Hillarys emails I bet it would show she initiated it.
@Tofy the Bear The Mueller convictions/guilty pleas will probably be overturned after it is fully revealed that the Mueller investigation was a criminal operation from the start. Hillary is higher up in the satanic hierarchy. She’s had more protection from the dark side, but her time in prison will come.
Now it’s official.
Ted Cruz is now nothing but a spineless sycophant working for Trump and by extension, Putin.
This is treason.
@Gregg Arsenault President Trump: IG Spygate Report Shows ‘Attempted Overthrow’ of Presidency
@LetsGoWrongboarding: “burned his birth certificate…” 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
His father and wife must be so proud of him.
Keep on Cruising to Russia Ted!
Okay mcarthy
I exspect Texans to defend America always all the time. I was wrong, they serm to be weak and followers no matter what.
lots of ordinary Russians are about to, at long last, rebel hugely against the putin-kgb-kremlin regime, check out Free Europe for what’s happening within Russia itself. therefore, lots of Russians do not want repukkkes either!
The nation needs to know what’s going on between trump and Putin going back to Helsinki.There’s absolutely no doubt that trump is effectively a russian operative who is being manipulated directly by Putin, regularly confers with him and is surreptitiously following orders.
The undercurrent of GOP senatorial complicity (particularly Moscow Mitch) poses as a very real dangerous threat to constitutional government.
John Townsend — But somehow Mueller couldn’t find anything… If only he had a few more years to investigate. My Kool-Aid glass is empty over here!
These senators know better. This is a flat out disinformation campaign.
Any public official repeating this propaganda should be investigated to know why they are selling out.
There has to be something to make them, publicly, betray our nation.
Comrade Cruz has earned the Order of Lenin.
Sure mcarthy
@Crystal Giddens. . . . .If that’s the best you got, you win pathetic creature of the day.
@Raoul Fleckman Vice President Joseph Biden traveled to Ukraine to announce, on December 7th, a $190 million program to “fight corruption in law enforcement and reform the justice sector,” but behind the scenes explicitly linked a $1 billion loan guarantee to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had been investigating the energy company Burisma, which employed Biden’s son Hunter.
@Raoul Fleckman Remember, the key claim of the follow-up Steele dossier, the centerpiece of the Mueller investigation, was that Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was the focal point of a “well-developed conspiracy between them [the Trump campaign] and the Russian leadership.”
Nellie Ohr, Fusion GPS employee and wife of Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr, not only worked with Christopher Steele on the so-called Trump dossier, but, in May 2016, was the conduit of information to her husband and two Department of Justice prosecutors of the existence of the “black ledger” documents that contributed to Manafort’s prosecution.
Bruce Ohr and Steele attempted to get dirt on Manafort from a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, efforts that eventually led to a September 2016 meeting in which the FBI asked Deripaska if he could provide information to prove that Manafort was helping Trump collude with Russia.
Given his close association with the pro-Russia Ukrainian government, it would be safe to assume that one motivation to pursue Paul Manafort so vigorously also stems from the humiliation and anger the Obama Administration experienced due to the failure of its Russia “reset” policy and its impotence in the face of Russia’s seizure of the Crimea.

To correctly state that perpetuating Putin propaganda is anti American and unpatriotic is not impugning Trump and his minions, but simply speaking the absolute truth.
You have to wonder how ted cruz lives with himself.
Cruz is what Putin calls “a cheap date”.
Putin wants chaos and political strife. The DEMOCRATS are serving it up to him on a silver platter.
Former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin: Biden Outraged We Seized Burisma Assets
Dave Schultz you have confused dems with republicans.
@Dave Schultz. . . . As usual, you’re on the wrong side, Schultzie.
Ted Cruz confirms his utter pussyness.
Ted Cruz 👍🇺🇸
leave Hedi alone
You coined a new word. I hope you are given credit in dictionaries.
Remember when Cruz’s dad assassinated JFK?
No. But I didn’t get the new Betsy DeVos’ history book, that tells the “real” history of the US. 😂
Where is that energy he had when he called Trump a “sniveling coward” for bringing up his wife?? They act like the sh*t isn’t on video..
leave Hedi alone
Republicans should change their name to Russian party. Welcome to the United States of Russia.
Where’s your proof?
Have you seen ANYTHING that would convince you that Russia meddles in out elections?
That’s a SERIOUS question, and it deserves clear and precise reply. Myself, I haven’t ‘seen’ anything, and that doesn’t mean I’m a Repub..
My point? Figure it out.
Q, sent me!
WWG1WGA
Makes one understand why the GOP color is red.
Cruz is also ignoring the fact that his father killed JFK
“The White House said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn’t want those either.
Then they said they wanted to participate in the proceedings, and now they say they don’t.
All they really want is to hide the President’s serious misconduct.
It’s not working.”
Well written.
