    Ted Cruz's campaign purchased $153,000 in books from an online bookseller in the 2 months after his latest book came out

    - His campaign spent $153,000 buying books in the two months after his book "One Vote Away: How A Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History" was published.
    - He also received $320,000 in advance payment from his book's publisher Regnery Publishing in 2020.
    - In April, a watchdog accused Cruz of using campaign funds to promote his book.

    Senator Ted Cruz may have used up $153,000 in campaign funds when he was running for senator last year to buy his own book, reported Forbes reporter Zach Everson on Monday.

    In a 2020 Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing, Cruz's campaign spent $153,000 at retailer Books-a-Million. It is not clear what books were purchased — the filing simply listed the purchase as "books."

    But the money was spent in the two months following the release of his book "One Vote Away: How A Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History" on September 29, 2020.

    According to the filing, the campaign spent $40,000 on October 15, two weeks after his book was published. In early November, it spent another $11,900. The biggest spend came on December 1, when his campaign spent $111,900 on books.

    Cruz is currently offering signed copies of the book for those who donate $77 to his campaign. The hardcover version of the book is being sold at $28.99 on the Books-a-Million website.

    Ted Cruz's office did not immediately respond to a request from Insider asking what books were purchased, or if he received royalties from them.

    It was also revealed in his financial disclosure for 2020 filed on Monday that he received $320,000 as an advance payment for the book from the book's publisher Regnery Publishing.

    In the disclosure, the publisher agreed to pay a $400,000 advance in three installments for the book. Additionally, Cruz will receive 15% of each hardcover sale of the book, 7.5% for each paperback sale, 25% for each e-book order, and 15% of the sale of any books outside the US.

    This is a really simple one.
    Just get rid of all campaign and personal finance laws.

    Why should we need to look at tax returns, money made by politicians outside of the government due to their lofty status, income in any way shape or form. This is freedom at work. Donald wrote the book on freedom by confusing all his financing. Or just flat out refusing to talk about it. Just make sure your properties are worth a whole bunch when you need a loan, and reduce the value of those same properties to almost nothing when having to pay taxes. Freedom is singing here. Cant we all hear it?

    For the record I cant.
    I hear the slow, bubbling decay of red and orange swamp gas.

    You can buy books as long as you can prove you didnt get a cut of the sale. The scam was probably the advance

    It's also a way to pretend the book sold well, and people are interested in the garbage he wrote.

    The phrase "Ted Cruz' book" makes most people vomit a little, and those that don't just cannot comprehend how those words can go together. Like "four cornered triangle" and "Trump quality"
