Today the left-leaning group Texans for Public Justice filed a complaint against Cruz alleging the senator purposely hid more than $1 (million) in loans.
The Dallas Morning News reported:WASHINGTON – The left-leaning group Texans for Public Justice filed a complaint Tuesday alleging that Ted Cruz purposely hid more than $1 million in loans from major banks during his 2012 Senate campaign…
The FEC confirmed Wednesday afternoon that it had received the complaint. The commission has five days to evaluate it and decide whether it was filed properly and has merit.
On Wednesday, Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center — two campaign watchdog groups — announced their own joint complaint filed with the FEC…His defense has been that while he neglected to disclose the loans on campaign reports, he did report them on personal financial disclosure forms on file with the U.S. Senate, as required of candidates and senators.
Put together, this suggests that Cruz took out loans which he then shifted into his campaign in the form of a loan. But this is not how the loans were described on his Senate campaign filings with the FEC…The Senate filing makes no indication that loan proceeds went into the Senate campaign.
I rest my case.
Cruz re-files the paperwork with all the right things in all the right columns and this goes away.
Not saying this should not be brought up, it should.
It was public record and fair game.
Lawsuit will be thrown out, I would think.
More like an audit, of sorts.
Answer this question honestly if you can.
If the circumstances of the birth of Cruz and Hillary were reversed, would you be so intent on defending your version of NBC qualification for Hillary as you are Cruz?
Facts are a hard thing to swallow for a Cruzer, I understand.
The original poster stated all FACTS. I know facts are a bitch when they are against your candidate.
Abdul Mohammad born in Saudi Arabia from a Saudi Father and American mother is also eligible as natural born citizen!
I’m not defending anybody. I was kind of making fun of the direction I suspected the thread to take. To be honest, I’m fed up with this stuff already, and we have ten months to go.
Both of us. I have been through more than a few of these vile name calling sessions. I comically asked weeks ago what would happen when Palin endorsed Trump.
Wow, I know freepers are fickle but the outrage surprised me. Then after a couple years of Freepers calling Glenn a moronic money grubber another quandary presented itself, what would freepers do? Well that was a shock too.
So what do these two events, that created so much discourse, have in common? Love is turned to disgusting hate and hate is turned into love by Cruz supporters. I hate no one it is a wasteful endeavor.
You never answered my question it was not meant to be argumentative I really wanted to know your logic.
“You never answered my question...”
Honestly, I would not defend Hillary. That’s a sad admission on my part because, if I were to defend Cruz...logically?... I should defend Hillary also. But, I have such a visceral dislike and distrust for the woman, that ANY reason to take her out of the running would suit me fine.
As far as my “version” of Cruz’s NBC status, I don’t really have one. I know what I’ve read, but I don’t know what is right or wrong. I DO know that if someone is going to make a legal issue out of it...I’m afraid that it’ll be left to a broken system to make the decision.
Lord knows what THAT answer will be.
For sure it won't be left up to us which makes it a fruitless argument.
Appreciate your truthful answer. I personally don't think Cruz qualifies but I am not dogmatic about it because the final decision is not up to me, I just found it slightly hypocritical of those that denounced Obama (and I was one)who I would think has a slightly better case if you believe that counterfeit birth certificate.
