Not ‘by Accident’: Ted Cruz Blasts How Entire Trump Trial ‘Is Designed to Interfere With Election’
When the “guilty” verdict for former and potentially future President Donald Trump came down on Thursday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was among several top Republican senators who took to social media to share his true outrage over such a “miscarriage of justice.” He also previewed the special edition of his podcast, “The Verdict,” which he released later that night. A major theme throughout the episode was what a “travesty” the outcome was, and how it amounts to “a political hit job” and “the worst instance of election interference our country’s ever seen,” among other things.
This sham trial is an absolute travesty of justice.
This was not law. This was not justice. This was ALL politics.
I will be doing a special episode of Verdict tonight to break down this extraordinary weaponization of the justice system. You do not want to miss this episode. pic.twitter.com/SjDmcODViB

The election interference looks to be all by design, and that it was that way from the start. Co-host Ben Ferguson reminded that sentencing is to take place on July 11, four day before the Republican National Convention takes place in Milwaukee. As Ferguson expressed concerns that Trump could be prevented from attending if he was imprisoned or placed under house arrest, he wondered, “how is that alone not election interference?”
While Cruz feels certain “that’s not gonna happen,” he did point out how “it is illustrative of just how ridiculous what’s transpired is.” From there, the senator continued to let us know how he really feels. “I am on one level furious. This is an outrage. It is it is a disgusting assault on democracy on the rule of law. But I’m also heartbroken. I’m heartbroken, and I believe in our justice system. Our justice system is supposed to provide equal justice under law,” he shared.
He carried that emotion over into what it means for not just Trump, but the sense of justice–or lack thereof in New York– especially considering how DA Alvin Bragg and Acting New York County Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan’s handled the matter. Merchan’s way of handling the case was panned and decried, and he has had conflicts of interest from the start, including through his adult daughter’s politics.
In New York, you can assault a police officer or punch an old lady and Alvin Bragg will do everything he can to keep you out of jail.
However, if you are a Republican, he will come after you.
His corruption is a disgrace to the judicial system.https://t.co/ZkkJclVQti pic.twitter.com/BMIYXRdfQO
