Ted Cruz urges appointment of special counsel to investigate Biden corruption.
Sen. Ted Cruz Calls for John Ratcliffe as Special Counsel to Investigate Alleged Biden Corruption
During an episode of his engaging “Verdict” podcast, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) passionately expressed his desire to see former Director of Intelligence John Ratcliffe appointed as special counsel. Cruz emphasized the importance of having a non-partisan figure lead the investigations into the Biden family, someone who isn’t ”a patsy for the president and the party in power.”
“You know who they ought to appoint? They ought to appoint someone like John Ratcliffe,” Cruz exclaimed. “John Ratcliffe was former acting U.S. Attorney in Texas, was head of the Department of National Intelligence, was a U.S. congressman. Now John is a conservative Republican. John is a real prosecutor.”
Cruz firmly believes that appointing John Ratcliffe as special counsel would have a significant impact. He stated, “If John Ratcliffe were appointed special counsel to investigate Merrick Garland for lying under oath and obstruction of justice, to investigate Hunter Biden, and most significantly to investigate Joe Biden, if John Ratcliffe were appointed, it would scare the living crap out of Joe Biden, out of Hunter Biden, out of Merrick Garland, out of every partisan Democrat because you’d actually have a prosecutor willing to follow the facts.”

[Insert video here]Cruz’s remarks came after he criticized Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was recently appointed as special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. Cruz accused Weiss of “dragging his feet long enough that he gave a significant degree of immunity to everyone who broke the law here.”
According to Cruz, Weiss’ appointment violates DOJ rules. He explained, “The special counsel is designed to be someone from outside of government and that’s not an accident. You appoint a special counsel when there’s a conflict of interest within the Department of Justice. When it’s not possible for DOJ to fairly investigate it, you appoint someone from outside the government who can actually take it on and be fair and impartial.”

Cruz highlighted that special counsels are typically former prosecutors who are independent from the government and belong to the opposing political party.
