Cruz calls impeachment a 'partisan mission' as crucial House vote nears

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Ted Cruz Wednesday said that he doesn’t believe the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump protects due process rights, namely those of House Republicans, who are in the minority.

Republicans used the same tactics before, and this is just an inquiry , and republicans want to be involved so they can obstruct it more from proceeding. This lying by Cruz is just more examples of how corrupt they are , and how they ignore the rule of law when it applies to them. Cruz is just another fraud promoting propaganda , not facts.
