EXCERPT:
CRUZ: “Secondly, the 15 months that your nomination has been pending, you’ve made not one, not two, not three, you’ve made 12 separate political contributions to senators running for office. I’ve been in the Senate 10 years, I have never seen a nominee make contributions to senators while your nomination is pending. I’ve never seen that once. I had my staff search the records.
