"If these classified materials in particular implicate Burisma, Ukraine, communist China, payments going to Hunter Biden or Joe Biden's brother or the Biden family," he continued."Then this shifts from a political problem to a very serious problem of criminal liability and major crimes." President Joe Biden, left, on Tuesday is shown in the White House, while Senator Ted Cruz, middle, attends an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 19, 2022, and former Vice President Mike Pence, right, is seen at a New York City event on November 30, 2022. Cruz on Tuesday argued that Pence and Biden possessing classified documents after serving as vice president were"very different."Cruz was then asked about the Pence find. The senator protested that it was too"early" to pass similar judgement on the former vice president. He said that Pence was a"good friend" and insisted that his situation was"very different" from Biden's, despite both men apparently keeping classified documents after serving as vice president.

Can I just say again that Ted Cruz sucks? He doesn’t have the honesty, the decency nor the fair mindedness to simply say “It was wrong for Biden to have classified docs at home, and it was wrong for Pence to have classified docs at home” and leave it at that.
