Sen. Ted Cruz: Tells FOX Host the Plan About Stopping January 6 Certification

Sen. Ted Cruz Caught Red-Handed
(Egg on Face is Extra)

Update just in from S/C Jack Smith looking into the January 6 insurrection that is explained below in greater detail ... this short update is from SALON.com with this headline: 

Special Counsel calls for tapes that implicate Ted Cruz in attempts to delay Biden's certification

ORIGINAL POST FROM HERE:

Absolutely stunning audio recording of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) explaining to FOX’s Maria Bartiromo on January 2 how the 2020 election certification of Joe Biden’s win over Trump would proceed and in his own words in an exclusive MSNBC report by host Ari Melber on April 25, 2023 seen below (about 13-minutes) with this story and headline from MSNBC:

“Hear Ted Cruz caught on tape plotting ‘step two’ of the January 6 Coup”

The full report and audio of Cruz in his own words heard in the video from show host, that Ari Melber, heard and seen below:

The Show and Cruz's audio both here

Cruz’s own words are amazing that should fall heavily on Cruz by the DOJ’s Special Counsel, Jack Smith, now investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) privately described a plot to create an electoral commission to assess the false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election in a newly released January 2, 2021 recording of a conversation between him, former FOX News producer Abby Grossberg, and Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo (refer to slide graphic above).

Though the tape, recorded just four days before the insurrection at the Capitol, echoes Cruz’s public statements related to the plot to block the certification of Joe Biden's win, it reveals the depth of his plot to support Trump (The Washington Post report). 

In the audio, Cruz, who was also the first senator to object to the Electoral College results, details his scheme to establish the commission, and explaining that he gathered 11 senators to object to the electoral certification, which would prompt a 10-day audit. 

Cruz is heard saying:I think that the country deserves to have a credible assessment of these claims and what the evidence shows and the mechanism to try to force that is denying certification on the sixth.”

Bartiromo then asked Cruz:Who would decide which candidate would be inaugurated.”

Cruz said:That if the commission found credible evidence of fraud that undermines confidence in the electoral results in any given state they would report on that. 

To support his plan, Cruz also cited the electoral commission created in 1876 to investigate potential voter fraud in the Hayes-Tilden election, and him telling Grossberg and Bartiromo: You need an adjudicatory body with fact-finding and investigative authority to consider the facts to examine the record and to make determinations — that's how they did it in 1877.”

Cruz then repeated these same sentiments on the Senate floor shortly before the mob attacked the Capitol on January 6, both times neglecting to mention the Compromise of 1877. That agreement allowed Republican candidate Hayes to become president and prevented another civil war but required Republicans to pull federal troops from the South, bringing an end to the Reconstruction Era and subjecting Black Americans to the deluge of white supremacist violence that followed.

MSNBC Host Ari Melber continued saying after playing the audio clip was played:He (Cruz) admits it. You heard the question — who decides who gets inaugurated that's what this is all about. You have a certified winner. You have the courts having passed up any potential challenge. So, at that point, it was President-elect Biden, and Cruz answers this fake, made-up commission he and his Trump buddy were planning to create to bureaucratize a coup. That's what they were trying to do. That was his answer. That's how they were trying to steal the race. The references to fraud, we know: 1: He didn't believe in those we have that on tape; 2: More importantly, the judges and fact-finding we have in the country didn't find there was that kind of fraud and then; 3: That's all just talk anyway because they're literally trying to steal it for Trump, so all the words in the middle are just the words to get there.”

NOTE: Cruz later tweeted his response to Melber and the tape Tuesday evening saying:This @msnbc clown is breathlessly reporting that I secretly said in a phone call…the EXACT same thing I said on national television the next morning! And then I said again on the Senate floor four days later.”

My 2 Cents: As I said above and now again, Cruz’s own words are enough I believe for S/C Jack Smith to move to indict him for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol planning and attack.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so. Cruz is now just trying to paste the broken pieces of the vase he crushed on the floor, and I think to no avail.

In a word, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) should be held accountable and his own words prove my point and the evidence is clear at least in my view.

Thanks for stopping by.
