As a Private Lawyer, Ted Cruz Defended Companies Found Guilty of Wrongdoing

Two cases Cruz handled before joining the Senate could become an issue during his presidential bid.

In his bio on his presidential campaign website, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) boasts of what he did as Texas solicitor general to defend the Second Amendment, the Pledge of Allegiance, and US sovereignty—all conservative causes. But Cruz does not detail another important chapter in his legal career: his work as a well-paid private attorney who helped corporations found guilty of wrongdoing.

[FlingWingFlyer]

And most of the people he defended went on to be career, DemocRAT politicians.

[DouglasKC]

I’m shocked I tell you...shocked that a lawyer actually did lawyer work!

[RedEyeJack]

Good thing he didn’t swindle people in real estate deals in Arkansas cause then he would have to lie about it and destroy the billing records and that would, unfortunately, disqualify him, as a Republican, for higher office.

[zencycler]

OK, so what about child rapist that Hillary defended then.

[quietly desperate]

Shandong Linglong Rubber Company. That right there is funny.

[catnipman]

Right. Because we all know that no lawyer should ever defend someone who might be guilty. I think that’s even somewhere in the Constitution.

[DoodleDawg]

I’ll bet he also defended companies found innocent of wrongdoing as well.

Sleeper, Mother Jones, have a great afternoon, and what are your weekend plans?

[American Constitutionalist]

Criminals who’s #blacklivesmatter are represented by politicians ( Rand Paul ) who want to repeal laws that are supposedly dispportionately discrimitory against blacks and those politicians are admired by the left and media.

[American Constitutionalist]

BTTT

[RKBA Democrat]
