So because Levin ranted and raved about it, and because the “NY Slimes” covered it, that makes it untrue?
Does Mark realize that Cruz admitted it was true? Does Mark not realize what Goldman Sachs is, and what it does? Does Mark not realize that GS was Obama’s #1 donor in 2008? Does Mark not realize how the Heidi Cruz-Goldman link stinks to high heaven?
Levin was sweeping this under the rug for Cruz because he knows it harms Cruz’s outside the GOPe candidacy campaign facade. Levin all but endorsed Cruz on his show tonight. He’s far from objective on Cruz these days.
For someone who rails against the “Washington Cartel”, Cruz sure does a lot of business with them. Now I’m curious about his donations from Washington Cartel fat cats. Let’s see if Cruz’s actions match his rhetoric. Given his flip flops on immigration and trade, I’m certain they don’t match.
Unfortunately, the more time goes on the more clear it becomes that Cruz is not all he seems. He has carefully constructed this “Principled Conservative” non GOPe persona while in reality behaving like a typical career politician, IMO.
What sort of special deal do you think he got here? Pretty much none as a loan against one’s life savings (in a brokerage account) is more or less automatic and even the NYTimes concluded that there was no special deal there.
His wife does work for them (not a crime so far as I know), and almost certainly has to keep her accounts with them from a compliance perspective.
Further the loan was publicly disclosed during his senate race (shown in the link below), but not put on another form. Oh, and how did the NYTimes find this huge “secret”? By looking at his public disclosure forms... yeah, real scandal there.
Finally the loan was against their brokerage account (essentially 1/3 their life savings) in order to run as an underdog in a senate race because he thought it was the right thing to do.
He has dropped the mask, now.
When he was running for the Senate, that mask was tightly glued on.
