************************************

The First Lady and the person closest to the president.

WERE CRUZ/S GOLDMAN SACHS/CITIBANK LOANS PROPERLY COLLATERIZED?

Ted Cruz has rebuffed a request by Federal Election Commission to disclose more information about some $1 million in loans he received from two major Wall Street banks during his 2012 Senate campaign.

In a letter to the FEC this week, the treasurer of Cruz’s 2012 campaign turned down a request by agency auditors that it fill out a public form spelling out “the complete terms” of two personal loans Cruz received from Goldman Sachs and Citibank– the proceeds of which, he has since acknowledged, he used to finance his upstart race for the Senate.

“They’re stalling on what they should have disclosed four years ago,” charged Craig MacDonald, executive director of Texans for Public Justice, a liberal advocacy group that has filed one of two complaints with the FEC over the loan issue. “This is a critical point in the presidential campaign and they don’t want any more new information about it coming out now.”

The Cruz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in his March 8 letter to the FEC, Bradley Knippa, the treasurer of Cruz’ 2012 campaign, offered this explanation for not responding to the request from FEC auditors:

It is already cooperating with another arm of the agency, its enforcement division, which is conducting a separate review of the loans in response to the complaints filed by MacDonald and another advocacy group. And those reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality rules that, Knippa argued, forbid making any more information public. (Excerpt) Read more at yahoo.com

========================================

In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.

NOW TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from Texans).

Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from Texans.

At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn/t know.

When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.

His mask slipped when he blamed Trump for the leftist anarchists disrupting his events.

I am proud of the support and advice from all of the Johnie Come Latelys who are here to help us poor conservatives.

Speaking of slipping masks...

How could he have voted against it? I thought he’s been Senator for only a few years?

In light of the Cruz Campaign emails that Heidi was ‘worried sick’, it now appears that she has fully recovered.

At least none of those with CDS are found wandering on the side of the roadway in a daze.

“What office is Mrs Cruz running for?”

From Goldman Sachs, HC’s usual path is First Lady, US Senator, Secretary of State, then Presidential candidate.

If you’ve seen one HC, you’ve seen them all.

“Trump has “ties” with Goldman Sachs as well — many millions of dollars in loans (some of which he didn’t repay),”

LINK??? SHOW us a GOLDMAN LOAN never repaid by Trump!

DO NOT repeat the Bankruptcy LIE!

Trump’s companies creditors got PAID! There was NO LIQUIDATION bankruptcy!

Law Dictionary: How is Donald Trump Able to File for Bankruptcy So Many Times?
http://thelawdictionary.org/article/how-is-donald-trump-able-to-file-for-bankruptcy-so-many-times/

Written by James Hirby | Fact checked by The Law Dictionary staff

People might ask “How is Donald Trump able to file for bankruptcy so many times?” The answer is “He didn’t.” Trump himself has never filed for bankruptcy. His corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. By filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the corporation is allowed to continue running while restructuring and reducing its debt. By allowing the business to continue, employees still have their jobs and the business is still making money. Corporate debts still need to be repaid but they may be reduced. The corporation must develop a repayment plan and corporate budget. Both must be approved by the creditors and by the bankruptcy court.

You do business with companies today who have used Chapt.11 to reorganize. Here are hundreds of them.

I agree, Cruz not only let all Americans down but he really slapped Freepers and Conservatives especially hard. Going back to him is just asking to be punched harder next time.

Speaking of nuclear codes.... Just imagining Trump having one of his tirades and HE’S the one with the nuclear codes. Makes one very uneasy to even think of that.

That is EXACTLY what Lying Ted says.

You are correct. It was his publicly stated position after the fact, not his vote. Thanks.

The point remains - Trump was for the bailout, Cruz was against it.

What really sealed it for me was when Businessman deal maker Trump who also owns Goldman Sachs stock
http://www.freerepublic.com/focua/f-news/3386879/posts
While promoting a misrepresentarion of an opponents loan from a source he has investments in.

Here he sides with the GOPES, to get their endorsements and even advocates expanded mandated Ethanol. Because he thinks dumping this government mandated junk inro your gas tank will help him carry IOWA . Which also begs the question of Just how heavily invested is he in Ethanol ?

Apparently those prefering a candidate who marches away from key conservative principles that supports and wants more government mandates and subsides especially for a product like enthanol which is a boon doggle means nothing to them.
Well it does to me....and it should to them.

"Ted doesn’t have an anti Wall Street sentiment."

Glad she cleared that up. We wouldn't want people thinking that Cruz was anti-establishment.
