For his next trick, Ted Cruz will probably ask Comey about ACORN.
The Republicans essentially made a mockery out of this hearing!!

Ted Cruz tries to derail FBI testimony on Trump/Russia by dredging up old discredited IRS scandal
By Oliver Willis | May 3, 2017
Sen. Ted Cruz used his time during FBI Director James Comey's testimony on the Trump campaign and Russia to bring up the discredited and long-closed investigation into the IRS' treatment of the tea party movement. Despite Donald Trump's personal attacks on him, Cruz was willing to join the Republican team effort to soften the blow of ongoing Russian revelations.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) used his time during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director James Comey to rehash the agencys closed investigation of the IRS supposed and debunked mistreatment of the the tea party, rather than deal with Russia and Donald Trump.
Cruzs failed presidential campaign was a target of malicious smears by Trump, who floated the conspiracy that Cruz was not a citizen, and that his father took part in the JFK assassination.
Nevertheless, Cruz used his time during the Senate hearing on Wednesday to help Trump deflect from the ongoing scandal, instead asking Comey about conservative complaints under President Obama that the IRS had unfairly targeted tea party groups seeking nonprofit status.
