Sketchy Ted Cruz Campaign Fundraiser Recorded Telling Donors They Can Violate Finance Laws…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | April 9, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 04/09/2016 7:35:52 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

Senator Ted Cruz has at least eight Super-PAC's assisting his presidential campaign; and according to a recording obtained by Politico a Cruz's campaign bundler was directing large donors toward one PAC specifically. The "Stand for Truth" PAC.

However, the campaign appears to have, yet again, gone into the land of illegality with the following statement (via audio recording):

"If you hit your max then we have a table for you that is the unlimited table," Keet Lewis, a bundler for the campaign and co-host of a Dec. 30 fundraiser in Dallas, says on the recording provided to POLITICO. "It can take corporate dollars, it can take partnership dollars, and that's the super PAC, Stand for Truth, so pick up some of that information." (link)

The politico article goes on to share how and why the fundraising instructions are illegal - read here- but that's not the part that might stick out to anyone who has been following the 2015/2016 shady campaign finances.

The actual Super-PAC the Ted Cruz campaign is preferring, "Stand for Truth", is run by Mitch McConnell's attorney, Eric Lycan; and the receipts inside the most recent filings show some of the biggest donors in the DC circuit heavy hitters club.

The Cruz campaign likes to sell a narrative of being an "outsider". However, the PAC wasn't created until November 18th 2015 and this recorded fundraising pitch was December 30th 2015.

Why is that aspect pertinent? Not a single primary took place until Feb 1st, and almost all of the candidates were still in the race when this donor meeting took place. The Mitch McConnell/Eric Lycan "insider DC pac" known as Stand for Truth, was part of Team Cruz finance while Bush, Rubio, Christie, Fiorina et al were still in the race.

"What this really reveals is more evidence of Ted Cruz being a GOPe insider; always part of the ‘establishment‘ from the outset."

If a campaign directs money to a PAC that by definition is coordinating. It is sketchy and unethical if not outright illegal. If it’s common it shows how corrupt it all is.

It does. But it’s been the talk around the water cooler from the beginning. Cruz is one of those climber types, always has been whether it was clerking, or his political career, always has been an est. insider.

MEMO TO PAUL MANAFORT......

HERE'S HOW CRUZ FINAGlED HIS PALTRY DELEGATES---through chicanery, tricks and outright fraud:

<><> Texas MSM reported dozens of voting irregularities in the Texas Republican primary. This ultimately totaled over 600 reports in at least six counties including Dallas County and Travis County. In virtually every case votes cast for Donald J. Trump were tallied for Senator Marco Rubio.

<><> Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.)

<><> Cruz lost Louisiana but poached ten more delegates than Trump. Watch for this to happen everywhere

<><> the Iowa fiasco where Cruz stole Ben Carson/s delegates by lying....telling his voters Carson was dropping out, telling them to caucus w/ Cruz.

<><> In Utah w/ Beck and Romney running the show, the Cruz team emailed supporters the day of the caucus, telling them they can vote absentee that day.......in violation of state law.

<><> Among Cruz/s super-pac funders is "Stand for Truth", run by his sworn enemy---Mitch McConnell's attorney, Eric Lycan.

<><> the receipts inside the most recent Cruz filings show some of the biggest GOPe donors in the DC cabal's heavy-hitters club.

<><> The Cruz campaign likes to sell a narrative of being an "outsider". However, the PAC wasn't created until November 18th 2015 and the recorded fundraising pitch on this thread was December 30th 2015.

<><> The Trump Ballot Security Project's 800 number to collect further reports of voter irregularities got 300 complaints from Oklahoma; the Kansas and Maine Caucuses brought hundreds of more complaints including claims of double voting by supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.

“There is something really Obamese about Cruz and his campaign. “

Well Cruz has given out copies of David Plouffe’s book to his campaign staff and told them to memorize it and use it.

For those who don’t remember, David Plouffe was Obama’s campaign manager. The book Cruz wants his campaign to follow is “The Audacity to Win”

So, yes, it would follow we are seeing similarities. Right up to and including shady and questionable attacks on legality.

St Ted is prone to pontification. He’ll say anything to advance his ambitions. Makes up lies like “Pres Trump is going to work with Sen Harry Reid.” Cruz doesn/t even know Reid is retiring and wont be around when Trump is president. Isn/t it strange? Sen Ted is unaware of what’s going on in the US Senate. Texans have a real loser representing them.

Cruz cant win the required delegates....so he goes around peeing in other candidate’a pinch bowls.

BACKSTORY Ten months after Cruz was elected to the Senate, his long-held ambitions for the presidency began in earnest. Trusting Texans did not know Cruz was using the Senate seat to advance himself into political power.

Cruz is looking like ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry.....two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.

At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.

Gov Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a presidential debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country/s first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).

Cruz heaped on the surprises:

<><> I didn/t know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.

<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.

<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.

<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.

<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.

NOW TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from Texans).

Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from Texans.

At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn/t know.

When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.

Cruz’s latest numbers indicate he would lose a primary challenge for his Senate seat. Clearly, Ted isn’t as well liked in Texas as he wants everyone to think.

In the Texas prez primary, Cruz did not do as well as expected even w/ Texas Gov Abbott running the show. Cruz didn’t even come close to winning a majority in Texas. He would have gotten a lot more delegates if he had.

Cruz got 1,239,370 votes but that/s only 44% of the vote-—56% of his own constituents rejected him. delegates.

NY/er Donald Trump got a whopping 757,618 votes....27% of the vote....he got 47 delegates. Floridian Even Rubio got 502,223 votes....that/s 18% ... w/ 3 Texas delegates.

Cruz spent a bundle but came away looking like a reject.

Every time Cruz loses, he makes a “victory speech.”

The poor man hears voices.....telling him HE won.

Now the voices are telling Ted: “Stop rooting for the Maple Leafs, you’re an American”

Ted “A Time For Truth” Cruz has already thrown everyone who bought his book and believed he was “the only principled candidate in the race” under the bus. Some people like it there under the bus. I’d like a refund on the book.

Cruz's campaign reeks of the Obama MO

<><>Cruz gave his campaign staff David Plouffe’s book, The Audacity of Winning".... told them to memorize it and use it.( Plouffe was Obama’s campaign manager).

<><> fast-tracking TPP--Obama's legacy trade plan.

<><> Cruz repeats and repeats Obama-like lawlessness;

<><> sealing all personal records;

<><> falsifying place of birth.
