The Federal Exchange Commission (FEC) fined Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) $35,000 for failing to accurately disclose loans to his 2012 Senate bid from Citibank and Goldman Sachs.
The fine stems from a 2016 complaint filed by the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) over a loans totaling $1,064,000. The FEC found that Cruzs reporting violated a campaign finance statute.

Again, we see just a fine for a campaign finance law violation ...
This one involving over $1M.
Didn’t all of the NeverTrump Cruzbots tell us in 2015/16 that the GS and Citibank loans were fake news???
Where are the charges against Hillary and FBI agents?
2012?....................right on the ball, there FEC..............as it was designed to be.................
Sometime in 2035 ....................
And private citizen Trump pays off a bimbo with his own money and he should be hit with a dozen felonies.
God Bless Ted Cruz but …
The FEC is intentionally underfunded and under staffed, by design, by both parties........................any complaints that involve investigations take years............
This is why you set up a separate foundation and maintain your own email server.
Read the article, the loans were not illegal, and were publicly disclosed at the time. Mr. Cruz reported them correctly to the Senate. However, they were not reported correctly to the FEC.
The FEC finding linked in the article notes that Mr. Cruzs campaign treasurer made the incorrect filing and found no reason the believe that Mr. Cruz violated the law.
A fine is appropriate.
This won’t mean anything to folks who like Ted.
To those of us who aren’t enamored with him, it will be cause for concern.
When I first learned of Ted, I thought he was going to be a great guy for the team.
Shortly thereafter I came to think I didn’t want him anywhere near an effort I supported.
I haven’t changed my mind.
Texas can do a lot better.
And then, paid himself back after the fact.
Don't know what difference that makes.
Ya know, with all the crap HillaBeans has done you’d think they just mighta should be looking into her creative financing.
Where are the charges against Hillary and FBI agents?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where indeed? And what about Big Teeth Cortez and her million dollar slush fund?
“Campaign Legal Center”
Hmmm.....
Headed by a guy named Trevor Potter...
Funded in part by George Soros’ “Open Society Foundation”...
Been known to work in harness with Democracy 21... and both groups have worked together in the IRS scandal against conservative and religious groups.
You misunderstood me.
Didnt all of the NeverTrump Cruzbots tell us in 2015/16 that the GS and Citibank loans were fake news???

No. By the way, just in case you didnt know, the 2016 primaries are long over.
It does mean something to those who preferred Ted to Trump in the primary. Post #11 means more.
So Ted can’t hire competent people and gets a $35,000 find for not complying with FEC regulations. Got it.
