That is Option One,&#8221; Cruz \u200cstated. &#8220;Or Option \u2062Two: he wasn&#8217;t the driver, he was just complicit. He was so weak \u2063that \u2064he could not stop the partisans and main justice from turning it into a\u2062 political effort to \u2062protect Joe Biden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cruz firmly believes that Weiss is an inappropriate choice for special counsel, asserting, &#8220;We should have a special counsel \u200dto investigate Merrick Garland for whether he lied under oath to Congress during questioning from \u2064me and whether he \u200ccommitted obstruction of justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Cruz emphasized the need for a special counsel to investigate Joe \u2063Biden and the $20 million his family received while \u200che was vice president, as no such investigation has taken place yet.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the interview\u200b below:<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
