Ted \u200bCruz (R-TX) passionately expressed his desire to see former Director of\u200d Intelligence John Ratcliffe appointed as special counsel. Cruz emphasized the importance of having a non<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ted-cruz-calls-for-top-ex-trump-official-to-be-special-counsel-probing-biden-corruption\/\" title=\"Ted Cruz urges appointment of special counsel to investigate Biden corruption.\">-partisan figure lead<\/a> the\u2064 investigations into the Biden family, someone who isn&#8217;t \u200b&#8221;a\u2062 patsy for the president and the party in power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You know who\u2062 they ought\u200c to appoint?\u200b They \u2064ought\u2062 to appoint\u200d someone like John Ratcliffe,&#8221; Cruz \u2063exclaimed. &#8220;John Ratcliffe was former acting \u200dU.S. Attorney in Texas, \u200bwas head of the Department\u200c of \u2064National \u2062Intelligence, was a \u200dU.S. congressman. Now John is a conservative Republican. John is a real prosecutor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cruz firmly believes that appointing John Ratcliffe as special counsel would have a significant impact.

You appoint a\u200c special counsel when \u200dthere\u2019s \u2062a conflict of interest within the Department of \u2063Justice.
