Why is “loans” in quotation marks?
Maybe it’s as in wink, wink.
Excerpt:
A candidate CANNOT take out an unsecured signature loan for their campaign.
If a candidate could take out an unsecured signature loan, it opens the door wide open to corrupt exploitation by external influence.
The candidate with $500k in assets, or a Manchurian candidate with zero in assets, could be given a $2 million loan – which the loan originator would not expect to get back.
In this example, third parties, who are part of the influence equation, could pay back the loan on the candidate’s behalf, avoid FEC/public scrutiny and hold influence over what the elected political official does in office.
The writer knew he or she would look like a fool to actually come across as thinking it was really a LOAN. LOL! You’d have to wonder about a journalist who would actually think that money was a real loan. Cracking me up.
CRUZ LOANED HIMSELF THE MONEY .. FROM HIS OWN ACCOUNTS.
There is nothing irregular about it.
