Ted Cruz scolds FBI director on handling of IRS probe
Washington Times ^ | May 20, 2014 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 05/22/2014 2:31:27 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

"............. “Barely a year ago, when you were before this committee for your confirmation, I asked you about this investigation, and you stated at the time it was, quote, ‘a very high priority for the FBI.’ I’d like to ask you, to date, how many victims or alleged victims of improper targeting have been interviewed by the FBI?”

Mr. Comey responded: “Because it is a pending investigation, I can’t talk about the particulars of the interviews we’ve done.”

Mr. Cruz then asked how many White House employees had been interviewed, which Mr. Comey declined to say. Then the senator asked how many people had been indicted.

“I guess I can answer that because it’s public — none,” Mr. Comey said.

Mr. Cruz responded: “When the president of the United States stands up and says the American people have a right to be angry, one, we have a reason to expect that an investigation will be thorough and there will be some accountability. The answer for over a year from the FBI and Justice has been, the pending investigation will tell you nothing about it.”.................

The way our system is set up - with Justice being a part of the executive branch we will NEVER get an honest investigation of the executive branch.

Big Mistaka. . . . . . . .

If I were the chairman of that panel/committee, I believe I’d have pulled a Steve Wilkos and said, “you’re not being truthful; get the hell off my stage!”

THIS JUST IN----FBI'S COMEY RECEPIENT OF THE COVETED "AIR-WICK AWARD" for continuing the Obama admin's cover-up of the stench emanating from the IRS.

Comey's name will be permanently engraved on this timely, coveted award.

“I would note for the record that when I introduced an amendment before this committee to make it a criminal offense to willfully target American citizens based on their political views, the chairman and every Democratic member of this committee voted against it,” Mr. Cruz said. “I understand that there is not an interest among some members of this body in learning what happened.”

Mr. Cruz, they know what happened. They sanction and
support it. They are fascist.

Pee Wee Herman has more power than a Congressional Investigation with a rogue Justice Department..

Especially when Boehner runs to the TV cameras to tell the world after voting Lerner in contempt "but we're not going to put her in jail."

Power - Cajones = No Power.

“Mr. Comey responded: “Because it is a pending investigation, I can’t talk about the particulars of the interviews we’ve done.”

Doesn’t “pending” mean that it hasn’t started yet?

Cruz is right on this one... The FBI is NOT the enforcement arm of democrat thugs.
