I've been thinking about this, what if when he said Jan 6 was a terrorist attack, he did it intentionally to have it on public record.
If he legally proves the feds were involved in the Jan 6 as they like to call it "insurrection," they can be classed as terrorists as well as whoever gave the command to breach the capitol barricade (Ray Epps).
Cruz likes to play both sides. I recall him voting for horrendous bills, but telling people he only did it because he inserted a "poison pill" that he knew would kill the bill later. This let him tell the "poison pill" side of the story to audiences who didnt want him to vote for it, while still trumpeting that he voted for it in areas where he thought it would play well. Typical politician. I dont like him
