The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked a Ted Cruz super PAC to explain why it gave $500,000 to another super PAC supporting one of his Republican rivals.
According to financial disclosures from June, Keep the Promise I - one of four separate committees backing Cruz - gave half a million dollars to CARLY for America, the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina.
Super PACs are legally allowed to give money to other super PACs - they are only prohibited from donating directly to any political campaign. But it's unusual for one of these groups to give money to an opponent, especially when the candidate it supports is still in the race.

Some of us were asking that months ago. Back then the reasons/excuses given were down right hilarious.

That this came out close to SIX MONTHS AGO, and we don’t seem to have an explanation, does not give a good odor.

While it clearly is GOPe/Cruz games going on. The FEC didnt care about Obama getting money from Palestinian and Arab boiler rooms. They didn’t care about Clinton and Gore getting money from China.
Im a Trump guy, but I don’t care about this from the FEC now. This is todays version of IRS investigating TEA. another purely political investigation.

Yup. It means the media smells blood in the water and this is only the beginning. Cruz is boxed in now. He needs to come clean and just admit everything.

Cruz was most likely planning to have Carly as his VP choice. Why is the media making a big deal out of something completely legal?

To pay hush money, what else could it be?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
So its being suggested that Carly Fiorina black mailed Ted Cruz into providing her political campaign with $500K as some sort of hush money?

So then if it's legal, why is the FEC asking instead of minding its own business?

Why is the media making a big deal out of something completely legal? Big difference between "legal" and "moral".
