I mean the FEC is motivated by liberal accusers.

Sooooo, if a gop candidate does it, it’s OK because the rats are worse?

Gotcha.

The FEC is the entire problem!

Freedom of the press implies not having anyone scrutinzing your expenditures for ink or air time.

The candidates key staff member or two knows but not the candidate except in general terms...for plausible deniability. So Cruz’s top staffer probably knew that a Ted Cruz PAC was sending half million dollars to Fiorina’s PAC

Keep The Promise (KtP) Super-PAC is a pro-Ted Cruz PAC run by David Barton (Details HERE) David Barton is also Chairman of Mercury One Charities (Glenn Beck)>>>>>>>

Glenn despises Trump so a PAC controlled by his buddy helps fund Fioritina PAC to the tune of half a million dollars. And Carly has been fairly effective against Trump

Hedge-Fund Magnate Robert Mercer Emerges as a Generous Backer of Cruz

04/11/2015

Mr. Mercer “is a very low-profile guy, but he’s becoming a bigger and bigger player,” said Bradley A. Smith, a campaign finance expert who was a Republican appointee on the Federal Election Commission. Mr. Mercer’s financial support for Mr. Cruz “sends the message to other donors that Cruz is a serious guy,” Mr. Smith said, “and that brings in other donors.”

8/07/2015

Washington (CNN)Jeff King, a top political aide to his father and Iowa powerbroker, Rep. Steve King, has signed on with the super PAC supporting Ted Cruz, the organization confirmed to CNN Friday.

In what could be a signal for who his father — one of Iowa's most coveted endorsements — could eventually support, Jeff King is now consulting for one of the four main super PACs supporting Cruz, Keep the Promise I. That group, funded almost entirely by New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Mercer, launched its first advertisements this week and unveiled some of the operatives that will execute the group's paid-media campaign.

January 2, 2015

Former California tech executive Carly Fiorina has hired a top Republican National Committee spokeswoman to join her political action committee, another signal she is taking steps toward a bid for the White House later this year, CNN has learned.

Sarah Isgur Flores, the RNC’s deputy communications director, will leave the party group for Fiorina’s super PAC, Unlocking Potential, starting Monday. A Harvard Law School-educated attorney, she previously worked as the political director for Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign and advised presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012. Should Fiorina transition the PAC’s operations into a presidential campaign, Isgur Flores would serve as deputy campaign manager, according to the PAC.

I also strongly suspect he (Beck) coordinates with Megyn Kelly on agendas because on twitter, just when she comes on, his site “the blaze” sends out a tweet on the same subject she is talking about.

Now, isn’t that interesting. I’ll have to start checking that out. Crazy.

Although I have had great respect for David Barton, he is closely affiliated with the loon Glenn Beck through Mercury One...makes me wonder if Beck has involvement in the PAC.

Certainly is a possibility and something we should put in the corner of our minds as we continue to fit the pieces of the patterns together. Nothing the players would like better than to work in public but manipulate out of our vision

Another possibility is they are getting orders from the same unnamed director. or directors

Begs the question, if this occurred in July, did Cruz not know this pro-Cruz PAC was funneling $500,000 into Fiorina’s campaign for motives which have yet to be revealed?

Glenn Beck is always railing against Donald Trump
Fiorina has lately been effective against Trump
Therefore a PAC run by David Barton (a well known Glenn Beck associate) donates to Fiorina to keep her afloat and savaging Trump

Only, Barton didn’t come aboard to manage the Cruz PAC’s (I think there are like four of the Keep the Promise PACs?), until the beginning of September. This donation was made back in July.

Hedge-fund magnate backing Cruz is major investor in Breitbart News Network (Robert Mercer, Renaissance Technologies)

The Long Island-based hedge-fund magnate who is helping bankroll Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign for the Republican nomination is also one of the top investors in the Breitbart News Network, sources with knowledge of the matter told the On Media blog on Monday.

(snip)

Renaissance has also come in for scrutiny: Last year, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations accused the firm “of using complex financial structures that allowed it to underestimate how much it owed the Internal Revenue Service by $6 billion,” per the Times report. “The I.R.S. has been investigating Renaissance for at least six years. A spokesman for the firm said its tax practices were legal and appropriate.”

Who headed this pact in July? Would be interesting to trace that.

Okay Conceded. I don’t know a lot about pacs. The optics are damaging to Cruz. He should be able to do something about it, if he is opposed to it. Cruz is running for President, he wants to win. Everyone will go after the front runner. Even Cruz, although on the surface, he has not taken any swipes at Trump.

Just a thought to add. Trump mentioned after the woman in NH brought up Snarls and Lucent that he hadn’t planned on bringing that up for awhile.

Cruz and Trump have a relationship
Cruz has money but is managing it for a long run

I’ve mentioned before that Trump Cruz and Carson may be using similar techniques that the gopee have used to get their candidates. That manipulation could be using Carly. Trump has the goods on her to use in his advantage in the mean time she is taking votes from other gopee candidates.

That being said propping her up or giving her the illusion of success can be used to the advantage of the A team later. Giving and pledging funds are two different animals. The promise of funds encourages the receiver to spend what they have. Not fulfilling the pledge creates a Walker.

David Barton succeeds Toby Neugebauer, the co-founder of a Houston private-equity firm, Quantum Energy Partners, and a key Keep the Promise donor. His father is Randy Neugebauer, a member of the United States House of Representatives for Texas’s 19th congressional district.
