Cruz: For 8 Years We’ve Seen a DoJe Consistently Disregarding the Rule of Law

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "This has been an interesting day at this hearing. Listening to Democratic Senator after Democratic Senator give speeches and praise of the rule of law. And I am heartened by that. I am encouraged by that. Because for eight years it’s been absent. For eight years we have seen a Department of Justice consistently disregarding the rule of law. When Eric Holder’s Department of Justice allowed illegally sold guns to Mexican gun traffickers as part of 'Fast and Furious,' guns that were later used to kill Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, the Democratic members of this committee were silent. When Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with Congress’s investigation into 'Fast and Furious,' once again the Democratic members of this committee were silent. When the IRS illegally targeted United States citizens for exercising the First Amendment views for exercising their roles in the political process, Democratic members of this committee were silent."
