Cruz pal charged in massive securities fraud

The integrity of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been questioned repeatedly on the campaign trail. In fact, his chief presidential rival Donald Trump has taken to calling him

Could be resolved in a minute by Cruz releasing his U.S. citizenship verification
documents that he has chosen to keep hidden. He must not have any.

****************
Yes Cruz has some type paper work and he also had to register with the Selective Service when
he turned 18.

Birth of U.S. Citizens Abroad

A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth
if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S.
embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United
States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or
consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will
approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form
FS-240, in the child’s name.

According to U.S. law, a CRBA is proof of U.S. citizenship and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport
and register for school, among other purposes.

The child’s parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they
apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA,
a full validity, unexpired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.

Parents of a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen or citizens should apply for a CRBA and/or
a U.S. passport for the child as soon as possible. Failure to promptly document a child who meets
the statutory requirements for acquiring U.S. citizenship at birth may cause problems for the
parents and the child when attempting to establish the child’s U.S. citizenship and eligibility
for the rights and benefits of U.S. citizenship, including entry into the United States. By law,
U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.

They are the same in many respects of grand jury shopping and other shenanigans like releasing jury member addresses and outside campaigning for an indictment.

The case was first brought to the PIU in Travis County and even they passed on it. The investigative file enven came from Travis County. In his haste to have Paxton indicted before a July 18 statute of limitations had run out, Oldner assembled a grand jury that first convened July 7, after a different grand jury in the spring had passed on indicting him, according to records.

Yet Clevenger is the Collin County attorney behind an unusual — and, some would say, legally questionable tactic — that the attorney general's lawyers may raise at any future trial.

In two letters back in March, Clevenger directly reached out to grand jurors. He asked them to investigate allegations that Paxton violated state law by failing to register with the state securities board.

Clevenger mailed letters to their homes, places of work, and even went in person deliver his message. Clevenger’s actions apparently triggered one grand juror to send a letter to the Travis County District Attorney's office requesting the “investigative” file on Paxton.
