Aren't Super PACs separate from the candidate?

I don't think it's legal for a candidate to have access to his Super PAC.

If I'm wrong then I didn't understand what I was told.

FEC should ask the PAC, not the candidate.

Unlike traditional PACs, super PACs are prohibited from donating money directly to political candidates, and their spending must not be coordinated with that of the candidates they benefit. Super PACs are required to report their donors to the Federal Election Commission on a monthly or semiannual basis – the super PAC's choice – in off-years, and monthly in the year of an election.

Since when did the Cruz campaign care what the FEC rules were?

Cruz is still stonewalling FEC disclosure demands from 2012.
