For decades the FBI has earned a reputation for fair and impartial enforcement of the law free of partisan influence. Director Comeys previous half-hearted investigation of Hillary Clinton did serious damage to that reputation and this latest revelation affords the FBI the opportunity to begin to repair that damage.
The FBI has yet to provide access to the information that was used in its previous decision as requested by me and other Senate Judiciary members including Chairman Grassley and it should do so said Cruz.Elected officials no matter how high their position should be held accountable for criminal conduct.
The rule of law matters and it should apply equally and fairly to us all.
Whatever new evidence has been found should be thoroughly investigated and I hope that -- unlike with the prior investigation -- Director Comey will demonstrate the courage to uphold the law and restore the integrity of the FBI Cruz said.
