The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked a Ted Cruz super PAC to explain why it gave $500,000 to another super PAC supporting one of his Republican rivals.
According to financial disclosures from June, Keep the Promise I - one of four separate committees backing Cruz - gave half a million dollars to CARLY for America, the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina.
Super PACs are legally allowed to give money to other super PACs - they are only prohibited from donating directly to any political campaign. But it's unusual for one of these groups to give money to an opponent, especially when the candidate it supports is still in the race.

Follow the money:
1. Carly needs to pay off some of her bills.
2. Super Pac sees opportunity to discuss Cruz endorsement with Carly.
3. Carly pays off some bills.
4. Carly endorses Cruz.
I studied Rocket Science in college so I’m pretty good at this stuff.
Dang. She could be a twin to the daughter of a friend on mine.
So, why is this a story?
Last year, if the name Sarah Isgur Flores and her big $148,375 payday had been mentioned, no one would have know what to make of it. But now that she is one of the #CubanMistressCrisis gang of 8, it’s a little different.
Let just..... follow the money.. it's always ...follow the money ....the money always tell you the truth
For one thing, it’s well known that they can’t stand each other. So why would Cruz pick a VP who he detests?
Technically speaking, it was most likely the donors to Cruz's PAC that paid half a million in hush money. It's a DC insider thing - ring up a big tab and have other people pay for it.
Still waiting for the MSM to look into the Clinton Foundation and their donations from foreign governments while Hillary was at the State Department.
If that’s the case then his camp better get their asses out there and sell that narrative or this is going to mung his campaign up royally...
Never said that they did or should. But shouldn't we expect more from our leaders than passing the low bar of Clintonism?
Perhaps that's the reason the FEC is investigating...to see if Cruz influenced the behavior of a PAC.
I think it’s a story because the Cruz campaign is stonewalling the FEC when they asked for a simple explanation ...
This is like the Yankees handing over Mariano Rivera to the Red Sox because they were “impessed” with their play.
Do the Trump supporters think his donations to Hillary were to cover up a sexual encounter with her? Or Bill ?
They must to wonder about Cruz in this fashion.
Finally CBS is covering it!
And why is the mailing address of Liz Mair’s anti-Trump PAC the same PO Box as Carly’s political group?
“Cruz was most likely planning to have Carly as his VP choice. Why is the media making a big deal out of something completely legal?”

While she was running against him?
Pure speculation. Nothing more. Just like the rest of us.

Not at all the same.
Has Trump donated to Hillary’s PAC while running against her for office?
Cruz’s donations were when Carly was running against him. Against him! He has to pay her to get her to be his VP? What does THAT say?!

Here’s how completely twisted this is. Instead of the Cruz supporters being completely INCENSED that some of their donations may have gone to a rival candidate.....they are too busy saying “so?”
Unbelievable, really.
