The Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, already facing scrutiny for not disclosing a Goldman Sachs loan he used for his 2012 Senate campaign, also failed to disclose a second loan, from Citibank, for the same race, according to a letter he sent Thursday to federal election officials.
The one-page letter said that the “underlying source†of money for a series of personal loans Mr. Cruz made to his Senate campaign in Texas included both bank loans, which totaled as much as $1 million. Both loans were “inadvertently omitted†from the required filings, the letter said. Previously, Mr. Cruz has only acknowledged using the loan from Goldman for his campaign.
The latest disclosure casts further doubt on his oft-stated story of having liquidated his entire family savings of slightly more than $1 million to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary. The tale has become part of a campaign narrative of a populist, scrappy Mr. Cruz putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

Sorry to say, very sloppy for a high powered Constitutional Lawyer.
Ah, darn... Guess we'll have to have Hillary in 2016...
Already reported in the first article (for those who actually read it).
Or jeb.
NY Slimes has obviously organized a drip-drip-drip campaign.
It isn’t just the loans, which I’m confident Cruz will have a slick explanation for. It’s that his narrative is crumbling. It’s also that his support for expanding H1B visas by a multiple and pushing through the first TAP bill don’t look like rookie mistakes anymore.
What a joke the NYT is. They’ll look any and everywhere to take down Cruz or Trump. Hillary is surrounded by an ocean of corruption and to the NYT they do their best Sgt. Schultz impression. “I know nothing. I see nothing.”
Nah, since it’s becoming apparent that America can no longer be fixed at the ballot box, better to hasten it to the point of the alternative where we all have no choice...
They gotta get him on something.
Trumpsters will pile on. The Trump will be discredited with ease and Hillary will win. (If you don’t believe that Trump has boku skeletons in his closet, I have a bridge to sell you.)
When the very first sentence of an article is a freaking lie. And the article itself is a New York Values rag - then it’s very easy to dismiss any further crap they post as - well - crap.
Yeah. And it’s very effective too.
“Sorry to say, very sloppy for a high powered Constitutional Lawyer.”
And he has that memory that has a fancy name.
Drip, drip, drip. What’s next? Unreported Goldman cattle futures?
BFD.
There is no “constitutional” requirement to report. The whole campaign finance “laws” are unconstitutional. Anti-freedom of speech laws designed to punish job creators.
Not good.
BFD.
Reportedly, an unnamed but reliable source also witnessed him spitting on the sidewalk in 2007.
