Cruz: 2012 Disclosure Should Have Noted Goldman Sachs Loan
The Texas Tribune ^ | 1/13/16 | Patrick Svitek

DORCHESTER, S.C. - Responding to a report that said he did not disclose a loan from his wife's employer during his 2012 U.S. Senate campaign, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz called the issue a "technical and inadvertent filing error" that he will fix if necessary.

seems like a minor issue...compared to his eligibility issue.

Mark Levin ripped apart this leftwing piece of bullcrap which originated with the New York Times.

Not surprised to see Trump supporters trying to give it some traction.

“Cruz wrote a personal check to his campaign for $1.4 million. Those funds came from a combination of his personal savings, selling some stock and taking a loan out against his assets. Because he took a loan out against his assets, that detail should’ve been in the FEC form,” Catherine Frazier, the spokeswoman, told reporters in Dorchester. “We’re reaching out to the FEC and asking them their recommendation on anything we need to do to update or amend that report.”

Sounds like a margin loan taken out against stock and bond holdings. Not exactly a big deal. Anybody with sufficient equity can do it, whether he trades with Fidelity or Schwab. Goldman probably charges a higher rate than Fidelity or Schwab.

One million in loans is over looked? That is a lot of $ to forget about. But if not illegal, or unethical, no big deal.

Can’t blame him for trying to hide Goldman Sachs loan.
It would not look good, being a man of the people and such.

“Goldman Sachs” is now trending on Twitter with 17,900 tweets...

“Unreported 7 figure Goldman Sachs loans are standard for authentic anti-establishment leadrs, right? Right? Bueller?” tweeted Jim Merrill, a senior adviser to U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.”

Sniping from RUBIO’s team about being ‘authentic anti-establishment’ are hilarious. The FIRST thing he sought out was the comforting wings of McCain and Graham. Why do you think he was in the ‘gang of 8’?

Yeah how convenient. And you want to run our country? What about your principles and morals? Ethics? Anything? You are making it so easy to vote for Trump.

If it wasn’t a big deal, why did he hide it? And don’t tell me he forgot. You don’t forget a million dollars.

You’re right, there isn’t.

But it won’t stop your attempt to attack from the left-—just like your liberal hero.

It’s just one more thing that won’t stick.

Ted Cruz “inadvertently” failed to report a $500,000 loan from Goldman-Sachs, says it happens all the time with fiscal conservatives.

Good since the eligibility issue is nothing.
