What the Cruz camp did in IA was most certainly a lie. The voicemails sent to every caucus location said Carson was “suspending his campaign,” and that he would have a “big announcement” the following week.

A, both were patent lies. B, CNN never reported either one.

What’s more, Jeff Roe had done the EXACT same thing to an opponent in an earlier campaign. Since it worked for him once, why would he not have done it again. Roe is famous for dirty tricks; they are his speciality.

This man's timeline of what happened and when, appears reasonable to me.

Even if that's true, it wasn't Cruz doing the dirty trick. Cruz is the one who caught flack for it though. He apologized and tried to make it right as best he could. What more could he have done?

That appears to be true, but did Cruz know what a creep the guy was when he hired him? I don't know.
