I believe that it was him. He lost sight, if he ever had it, of the fact that the Democrats were his mortal as well as political enemy. While the Democrats preach the ,"My friend from across the aisle" crap, they do not believe in it. Everyone who is not one of them is their enemy. To be destroyed at the first opportunity. They know that sooner or later, everyone screws up or lets their guard down, including them. The difference is that their propaganda machine, a/k/a Main Stream Media, reports the deeds of their enemy and ignores, denies, and/or covers up their shortcomings.
Their wet dream is to get something on Ted Cruz or Trey Gowdy, either real or imagined, that they can exploit.
While the "bitch" might not necessarily set him up, the mole in his hen house surly did.
