After all the ridicule directed at former President Donald Trump when he alleged that the Obama administration spied on him, Republicans could end up getting the last laugh, Senator Ted Cruz said Sunday.
Reminding Americans of the corporate media collective mocking against Trump after he said the Democrats are spying on him, the Texas Republican pointed out that if what special counsel John Durham is alleging is true then what Donald Trump said was absolutely right.
Appointed as a special counsel in 2019, Durham was tasked with investigating the alleged Trump campaign’s connections to Russia.
Trump was restating the spying claims in various forms ever since his tweet in March 2017 in which he claimed he had just found out that Obama had his ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory, blaming Democrats of McCarthyism.
Cruz was talking on Sunday about one of Durham’s court filings in the case of Michael Sussmann. Indicted in September 2021 on one count of lying to the FBI, Sussmann is the attorney connected to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
In the motion Durham earlier this month about possible conflicts of interest for Sussmann’s attorneys, Sussmann, among other things, was connected to a tech executive who was allegedly gathering information pertaining to Trump.
Trump’s supporters consider the filing a confirmation of a far-reaching conspiracy against Trump that included major tech companies, Hillary Clinton, the media, and the federal government’s apparatus.
Responding to the filing, Trump pointed out that this crime would have been punishable by death in a stronger period of time in the United States.
Sussmann’s legal team filed a motion on Thursday to dismiss Durham’s indictment calling it extraordinary prosecutorial overreach and has accused him of deliberating inflaming public opinion with court filings that include prejudicial and false allegations.
Cruz called the Durham allegations deeply concerning, stressing that if their substance were proved true, the resulting scandal would be far larger in scope than the Watergate, which has toppled President Richard Nixon in 1974.
He also underscored that if these allegations are true, people need to go to jail for it just like they went to jail for Watergate.
