Ted Cruz has been accused of having at least five mistresses, including CNN anchor and former Cruz employee Amanda Carpenter. The media claims Cruz has denied these accusations.
Cruz is lying, according to multiple trial lawyers and experts on persuasion. His lies are hard to spot, because his lies are also truthful.
Consider what Cruz said in response to the news story:
“Let me be clear this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.”
Let’s look at what Cruz did not say. Cruz could have said, “I have never cheated on my wife.” Why didn’t he?
Consider the oath witnesses take before testifying. “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Isn’t that redundant?
Ted Cruz is accused of having had an affair with five women. He could say, “That’s a lie. I did not have five mistresses.” If Cruz did have one mistress, then he’d have told the truth (he didn’t have five) but not the whole truth (he had one).
"You had 5 mistresses!"
That's a garbage smear, a total lie, an outrage!
That's true, even if you had ONE mistress.#CruzSexScandal

Experienced lawyers are calling Cruz’s denial a non-denial.
@Cernovich 1. It took him almost 2 days to issue the non-denial denial. He clearly had to figure out what to say.

The vague not-so-denying "denials" are what gives me pause, as a lawyer.
Cruz's "answer" would never fly in a deposition.

The Case Against Amanda Carpenter.
One of the women Ted Cruz is accused of sleeping with is CNN anchor and former Cruz communications director – Amanda Carpenter. This election cycle Carpenter has been vicious. She has attacked Trump supporters.
Carpenter, a married woman, found Cruz attractive.
Such a good photo essay of Ted Cruz. I love the young lawyer, early 90's floppy hair best http://t.co/pLfW1fVgak

Carpenter created a black list of Trump supporters.
If you support Trump, the only person who can stop Cruz from winning the GOP nomination, Carpenter is going to try getting you fired from a job and keep you from appearing on television.
This is the behavior of a woman in love with Cruz:
It’s time to make a list.
Call it a boycott, call it a blackball, call it a blacklist, call it whatever you want. I’m done with these folks and other conservatives should be, too. Anyone who will defend a man condoning random acts of violence at his rallies has lost his morals; he will defend anything at all.
My blacklist is limited to people who have formally endorsed Trump. Not those who simply explain the phenomenon. https://t.co/KrbutWYesO

Carpenter refers to Ted Cruz as “Daddy.”

Carpenter also wore Cruz’s suit jack on the day that she and Daddy Cruz obtained matching temporary tattoos.

Women love wearing a man’s jacket because she loved Cruz’s smell and wanted it on her body.
Cruz and Carpenter had dinner dates.
According to reports, private investigators spotted Cruz leaving a restaurant with an unidentified woman:
That source said an operative allied with Marco Rubio—but not associated with his official campaign—showed the publication a compilation video of Cruz and a woman other than his wife coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant and a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
April 1st, the day Carpenter was seen wearing Daddy Cruz’s jacket, she admitted being with Cruz.
At 5:22 a.m. Carpenter talked about how Cruz was in a “fun mood.” Were they up all night together in a hotel?

Carpenter left her job with Cruz suddenly.
In June 2005 Carpenter suddenly quit her job at Cruz’s communications director. This move shocked observers, as she loved her job and had solid media ties. It made no sense for her to leave, especially since her replacement had not yet been found.
Carpenter left her job with Cruz suddenly in Jun 2015, no replacement lined up. Now Cruz's top aids are all men. https://t.co/Hd5WJy91ko

Carpenter spread lies to help Cruz win Iowa.
Ted Cruz won the Iowa primary after his team spread lies about Ben Carson dropping out of the race. Even though Carpenter was not part of Team Cruz, she spread the lie about Carson.

Carpenter’s startling silence when news of the Cruz sex scandal broke.
Amanda Carpenter lives on Twitter. When news of the Cruz sex scandal broke, she was silent. She didn’t tweet or respond to anyone.
Is this the longest @amandacarpenter, who was implicated in #CruzSexScandal, has been off of Twitter? Where'd she go!
— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) March 25, 2016
That’s behavior consistent with someone coordinating a response with Cruz.
Wow! @amandacarpenter went silent on twitter. This never happens. Busted! #CruzSexScandal pic.twitter.com/d9bh5CbNru

If the claims were false, why not simply say, “I have never had sexual relations with Ted Cruz.”
In summary, Amanda Carpenter:
- found Cruz sexually attractive,
- was identified as one of Cruz mistresses,
- went after Trump supporters in a personal way,
- quit her job unexpectedly (leaving Cruz without a communications director),
- lied about Ben Carson’ leaving the race during Iowa primary
- got matching tattoos with Cruz,
- wore Cruz’s jacket,
- called Cruz “Daddy,”
- was quiet on night scandal broke,
- coordinated her response with Team Cruz.
Given that Cruz has never denied having an affair and given Carpenter’s delayed response regarding this affair, there’s something highly suspicious going on.

UPDATE!
Today Ted Cruz had a chance once and for all to end the #CruzSexScandal. Yet Cruz will not answer a simple and direct question: Have you been unfaithful to your wife?
Cruz continues to obfuscate and today he even had a body guard (he could have used a chastity belt) jump in when asked about his infidelity issues.
You can watch the full video below. Look at how shady and slippery Cruz appears.
Reporter: Tell us on the record that you’ve never been unfaithful to your wife.
Carly Fiorina: [Jumps in. Spins.]
Cruz: I recognize that you love going into the gutter. What is your publication? I’m going to give a very brief answer to your question. The National Enquirer story is complete garbage. It is total lies. It was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen.
Ted Cruz has still not said, “I have never been unfaithful to my wife.”
Cruz’s initial response to the story took him 18 hours to draft. Then he said: “Let me be clear this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen.”
No lawyer is buying this non-denial. Something is up.
Incidentally, Cruz’s Super PAC also gave $500,000 to Carly’s Super PAC. Carly’s PAC gave nearly $50,000 to one of the women Cruz is alleged to have slept with.
Was that money laundering? Carly certainly has Cruz’s back.
Let’s sum up the Ted Cruz sex scandal.
- Ted Cruz will not state that he has never cheated on his wife.
- Cruz’s Super PAC gave 500K to Carly, who gave 50K to one of Cruz’s supposed mistresses.
- Amanda Carpenter, one of Cruz’s suspected mistresses, left the Cruz campaign under suspicious circumstances. She quit her job even though Cruz had no replacement. Carpenter claimed she was going to do some writing, but she hasn’t released a book or announced any major writing projects.
- All of Cruz’s top advisers are men, which is consistent with reports that Heidi does not trust Cruz to be alone around Amanda Carpenter or other women.
- A Washington Times reporter who confirmed that Cruz had mistresses was fired from his job. The Wash Times even lied about his employment status to discredit him.
- Today Glenn Beck created a redemption narrative for Ted Cruz, saying on his show, “I’ll give [Cruz] a break if it is over and you guys deal with it, thats your business. I’m not here to condemn somebody for making a mistake.”
- Glenn Beck’s employee Dana Loesch began attacking me on Twitter, in an effort to discredit me.
- Amanda Carpenter had a meltdown online.
- The mainstream media, which hasn’t wanted to cover this scandal, met to discuss ways to defeat Trump.
- Trump would win 1,237 delegates – enough to avoid a contested convention – if the Ted Cruz Sex Scandal is proven true with video evidence.
That’s a lot of smoke folks!
