Lyin’ Ted Cruz Campaign Refuses To Give FEC Details of Campaign Loans From Goldman Sachs
http://theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 3/26/16 | sundance

Interesting development.

It appears the Cruz Campaign is planning to slow walk the information on the 2011/2012 campaign loans:

(Yahoo News) Ted Cruz has rebuffed a request by the Federal Election Commission to disclose more information about some $1 million in loans he received from two major Wall Street banks during his 2012 Senate campaign.

In a letter to the FEC this week, the treasurer of Cruz’s 2012 campaign turned down a request by agency auditors to reveal in writing “the complete terms” of two personal loans Cruz received from Goldman Sachs and Citibank — the proceeds of which, he has since acknowledged, he used to finance his upstart race for the Senate. (more)

In essence the Ted Cruz campaign is saying they’ll go through the enforcement mechanism of the FEC instead of the compliance division. By going through the “enforcement division” (takes over a year) they can delay any damaging information from discovery until after the 2016 Presidential Election.

Goldman Aachs doesn’t loan people money out of the goodness of their heart.

They expect something, many things, in return.

CanuckTed also sealed his mother’s records that would indicate she was a Canadian citizen at the time of his birth and voted in Canadian elections.

Lyin’ Ted!!!

Do you file income tax? What form do you file? None of the forms that I file have a box for my net worth.

Ted July 2015 looked real good.

Then...

Ted in Iowa showed true colors:
1) lied about Carson dropping out
2) personalized voter shaming letters

FUTC

Yea, this time linking to an article written by Michael Isikoff that, of course, had an explanation for why Cruz's people can't answer:

The Cruz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in his March 8 letter to the FEC, Bradley Knippa, the treasurer of Cruz’ 2012 campaign, offered this explanation for declining the request from FEC auditors: It is already cooperating with another arm of the agency — its enforcement division — that is conducting a separate review of the loans in response to the complaints filed by Texans for Public Justice and another advocacy group. And those reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality rules that, Knippa argued, forbid making any more information public.

More nonsense from the gutter.

So you are saying Trump wants to bail out Cruz owners? How kind of him and Cruz speaks ill of him. How hateful.

More nonsense from the gutter.

The article mentions that the difference between the enforcement arm and the investigative arm is that the enforcement arm takes the longest to do anything, more than likely a year.

This is what Cruz did in the first place, disclosing the loans not when he transferred them to his campaign within 15-30 days, as he was legally supposed to do, but simply disclosed them on a financial report as self-made loans after his victory over Dewhurst was guaranteed.

See a pattern? Consequently, the media first picked up the story after he was already elected, and, weirdly, he did nothing to rectify the records back then but waited till he was accused by the media a second time during this Presidential election.

You idiot. Tax records don’t show net worth. Good God you are the dumbest twit on Earth. You Cruz people are supposed to be smart but no zilch about life skills. I bet you all are a bunch of geeks.
