Ted Cruz has rebuffed a request by 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 Cruzs 2012 campaign turned down a request by agency auditors that it fill out a public form spelling out 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.
Theyre stalling on what they should have disclosed four years ago, charged Craig MacDonald, executive director of Texans for Public Justice, a liberal advocacy group that has filed one of two complaints with the FEC over the loan issue. This is a critical point in the presidential campaign and they dont want any more new information about it coming out now.
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 not responding to the request from FEC auditors: It is already cooperating with another arm of the agency, its enforcement division, which is conducting a separate review of the loans in response to the complaints filed by MacDonald and another advocacy group. And those reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality rules that, Knippa argued, forbid making any more information public.

Release the tax returns. Hiding something. Mob.
Drip, drip, drip...
I wondered why he dropped the demands for Trump’s tax returns. This story explains everything.
Hillary wouldn’t do such a thing & Yahoos News would never report it anyhows
Insufficient collateral?
Already, Texans didn’t like how Cruz said he busted the piggy bank to fund his come from behind win in the Senate race to only find out later about these loans.
What’s Ted got to hide now?
“I wondered why he dropped the demands for Trumps tax returns. This story explains everything.”
Sure does. Not looking good for Ted.
No more lawyers in the White House!
BTW, have you heard this one. What is the difference between a cat fish and a Lawyer? Well on is a bottom feeding scum sucking scavenger and the other is a fish!
Certainly does explain a lot doesn’t it. Silence of the lamb, here, is Cruz’ new theatrical role.
Amazing. Liberal Isikoff is a good reporter.
We need somebody like him that can not just read the law but understand what it says. Trumpy is not to that point yet.
This is no surprise... it ties perfectly with the reason Cruz refuses to release his CRBA... FYI, if you have something to hide, you are not telling the truth. We are witnessing an Obama campaign 2.0!!! Heck, who needs Hillary when we have Obama II dressed up as a Republican?
There has got to be a way to spin this so Ted comes out looking like an honest, Christian, consistent Conservative, but I can’t think of it. Can you folks help me out here?
Someone who does not understand that the 14th Amendment & A2 presidential qualifications state that the natural born are those born on US soil have no business living in the White House. But hey, if you like Obama, then go ahead and vote Cruz so the Constitution can be shredded further than it is.
I got nothing unless you want to use Judas Iscariot as an example
Amen onyx!
You a member of the supreme court? Oh, didn’t think you were so go sit down and let the pros take care of that decision.
