Senator Ted Cruz grills FBI Director James Comey

Senator Ted Cruz grills FBI Director James Comey about the FBI's progress in the IRS investigation. Comey chose to repeat the administration's stonewalling citing the usual "ongoing investigation " bullshit rather than to assert the independence afforded him by his office. In other words the FBI is as partisan as the IRS so don't look for justice here. Comey refused to even reveal how many victims of the targeting had been interviewed by the FBI. As chairman Leahy attempted to shield Comey, Cruz reminded the committee that Democratic members of the Senate were party to the targeting.

“this IRS targeting correspondence has come out, came in significant regard at the written behest of  Democrat members of this body. So I understand that there is not an interest among some members of this body in learning what happened.”

Should the Republicans gain control of the Senate imagine the mad fun the Director will have as Cruz and Rand Paul play to the Tea Party leading up to the Republican primary.
