The Mysterious Case of Ted Cruz PAC’s $1/2 Million ‘Donation’ to Help Carly Fiorina
Law Newz ^ | 4-27-16 | Rachel Stockman

Posted on 04/27/2016 5:31:20 PM PDT by bigbob

Months ago, before the Republican race was whittled down to just three candidates, a very curious thing happened. Ted Cruz‘s super PAC ‘donated’ $500,000 to Carly Fiorina‘s super PAC. A few articles popped up at the time, and the Federal Election Committee even issued a letter asking the Cruz super PAC to better explain what the donation was for.

To be clear, a half a million dollars is not a small donation, and, at the time, it was the largest expense that the PAC had paid out. So why the heck would Cruz’s PAC hand over that kind of money in the midst of a heated campaign splintered with so many candidates? In an interview in October, Kellyanne Conway, president of Cruz’s PAC told CBS News, that they made the donation in June “because we thought she had important things to say that weren’t being heard.” She added, “we are all in for Ted Cruz for President.”

Do you seriously believe that a group that was pushing for Cruz to be president several months ago would want to help his rival, Carly Fiorina? That makes no sense.

Who else did he have to pay hush money to? Did Amanda Carpenter receive any extra cash?

Pray America wakes

People could have donated to her Super PAC. They didn’t need to go through Cruz’s. They lie!

This link by Drudge is as close as Drudge has come to the Ted Cruz mistresses story
Drudge assiduously posted nothing when the NE broke the story
Can Ted be so cocky as to think this went away, or does Carly have his testicles in a lockbox?

Trump is plowing through so much accumulated slop - I hope he has his hip boots on :^)

It’s being revealed as such a Cesspool there in D.C.

I’m normally a bit cynical but even I am aghast.

Might be a two way split between the wife and the other life.

Could be hush money.

Could be they like her. She is now traveling with him, and is the VP-apparent.

Or both.

This funds transfer occurred in June 2015
The NE and Roger Stone ( whether or not you like the man he knows where the bodies are buried) indicated a Cruz had an affair with a Carly staffer

The NE story suggests it was Sarah Igur Flores , Carly’s campaign manager

It would be fairly simple detective work to follow the PAC money and see if it went to Ms Flores as salary or...

Seriously...this is filth...filth, flarn, filth.

The guy screws around while preaching “values” then takes money given to him to get elected to an opponent to cover up a sexual escapade.

Holy Toledo - and he doesn’t know cr@p about basketball.

Call me naive or whatever

BUT

If I donate money to a candidate for his/her campaign shouldn’t I have an expectation that it will to to HIS/HER campaign, NOT someone I don’t want in there????

Kind of like donating to NRA and find out they are ‘donating’ to Planned Parenthood.

Bad enough Unions are ‘allowed’ to collect dues and in some cases ‘force’ people to pay dues then they turn around and give it to the party you are not supporting???

Cruz is in the phone a friend mode. Soon, he’ll need to buy a vowel.

Boy, she is drawn to money like a fly to.....

And the supposedly brightest person running fell for it hook line and sinker.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point - $500,000.00 is not a "nice gesture" when you are in the middle of a campaign and need every dollar for advertising/ads.
