Take any wealthy or well connected person, and they probably have familial ties to pretty much treasonous activities.

In a plot to overthrow the United States government in 1934 and establish a fascist state, Prescott Bush was implicated in a whistleblower's public announcement of the plot.

Though Butler had never spoken to them, Butler implicated several prominent businessmen and veteran leaders as backers of the plot including heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush. The committee chose not to publish these allegations because they were hearsay

No one was prosecuted, but in exchange Roosevelt coecerced support for the New Deal from the wealthy and powerful conspirators.

The extreme rapidity with which Cruz dropped his bid after Trump brought it up said everything.

Also a lawyer who was writing about it "suicided"

Anyone catch last line? His death leaves Indiana and its Christian fundie governor, Mike Pence, freer to engage in all sorts of primary election malfeasance and chicanery on May 3.

Rosenkavalier

Right but it would have been fuckery for Cruz, and Cruz got buried in Indiana. He stood no chance of winning so my intuition would be that "suiciding" the lawyer was more just to quash the digging and then quietly go out. Cruz stood no chance of being the would-be loser to Hillary as much as the deep state wanted him to be.

I just thought it was weird how that was written way before Trump picked him.
