Ted Cruz Failed to Report a Second Campaign Loan
New York Times ^ | JAN. 15, 2016 | MIKE McINTIRE

Posted on 01/16/2016 9:16:39 AM PST by Zenjitsuman

How forgetful for a guy with a photographic memory. That story that you funded your campaign with your cashed in assets, it isn't true, you told it so many times and left something big out. This is big trouble for TED since the amount is very large.

Where’s the Slimes’ exposes on Clinton’s adultery, breaches of national security, negligence, scandals, lack of legislative accomplishment, Benghazi, non-transparent, sexist campaign, Foundation shenanigans?

This was posted 10 minutes ago. Is that by plan? Does it make Cruz culpable by posting over and over? You care about this but not DT’s positions from 2012?
Please.

Ted’s wife makes a lot of money, so there is no reason the bank would be concerned that they would get paid back. Anyone with a brain can figure out that if Ted ever leaves public service, he’d make at least a million per year as an appellate lawyer. His services would be in high demand all across the country. If there was ever a low risk loan, this would be it.

Same can’t be said for Trump’s bankruptcies. Dis he pay back all his creditors? The answer is a big NO.

...

At the time Ted was making even more money as a law partner.

Buying a business that’s failing, taking it into bankruptcy to restructure, building it back up (keeping and creating jobs) and selling it for a profit used to be what risk/reward capitalism was all about.

He has echoic memory. Not photographic. Can’t even get the basics right.

The FEC insists big loans are reported since otherwise it would get around the finance laws and allow big donors never to be held to account, allow money laundering, and allow loans to be silent income.

Iowa Bible Thumpers are not going to like all this law breaking by a guy who knows better.

He reported it on several sets of federal paperwork but accidentally omitted it on one.

And it was collateralized loan on stocks in his brokerage account.

Not that facts matter to you though, right Jethro?

It’s the same kind of crap that was done to Palin with “Troopergate,” and this go around, some supposed Conservatives on this board are cheering it all on, all in the name of the new Trump deity. It’s a complete disgrace!

The FEC hasn’t even ruled that these loans were required to be reported. These loans were personal loans secured with personal assets, not loans made to the campaign. The campaign was not required to pay these loans back.

At most, this would require an amended filing, but that hasn’t been determined yet.

Most would find it a lot more concerning if they'd hear that he smoked a joint once in college. But that kind of stuff wouldn't come out until right before the general election. It wouldn't even have to have the least element of truth to it. All it would take is somebody making the claim to send them into a tizzy.

Trump isn't as vulnerable to that kind of attack, because he's presenting himself as the best candidate more because he's a strong leader, not because he's the best as reciting Bible verses.

Reporting it after he’s won election, while in office, but not tying it to the resources to win his election is not nearly the same as reporting it to the FEC when required.

Not reporting loans of that size (from big NY banks, no less!) to the FEC, while claiming to have put all his assets in, is more than some inadvertent “paperwork” error.

It was a collaterized loan on the equity in his stocks.

It was really just a loan to himself.

But don’t let facts get in the way of your mindless demagoguery, Jethro.

Suddenly the NYT is an authoritative source around here.
