Maybe they never talked and Ted just handled the case. It could have happened.

Cruz is a Zealot, and has turned into Obama’s and Hellary’s alter ego. He may be turning into one of those women who hears the devil say drown your children.

And Trump was Boner’s fundraising buddy.

“Diving headfirst into his annual August fundraising spree, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) spent Tuesday golfing with business mogul Donald Trump in New Jersey.

In addition to their politics, the two men share an affinity for golf. Last fall, Trump donated $100,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC closely tied to Boehner. He recently sang the speaker’s praises in the National Review calling Boehner a “terrific guy” with the “right temperament.” In 2011, he told Fox News the speaker was doing a “good job” in budget negotiations.”

To quote Crooked herself, “at this point, what difference does it make?”

Trump never said he didn’t know Boehner. Cruz did. Cruz said he never worked with Boehner. Oops. Lawyer for Boehner. Yieks!

> In the space of just 7 minutes here on Thursday, Ted Cruz reminded fellow Republicans that he has few friends in the party. First he tangled with former House speaker John A. Boehner, a longtime foe who so dislikes Cruz that he labeled him “Lucifer in the flesh.” Then Cruz undercut another Republican, fellow presidential candidate John Kasich, who had entered into an alliance with him to stop GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

This has nothing to do with Trump.

I was watching cable news this morning and Sen Cruz said he doesn't know John Boehner, he'd be surprised if they've spoken 50 words.

Kind of difficult to square that statement with the past the two have.

the problem with you and why people like you are banned form here is because you can’t seem to comprehend that we are talking about cruz saying he has hardly spoken to the cry baby when clearly he has. cruz lied again and you bring this crap up, get a grip.

Ted forgot. Just like he forgot he was Canadian.

LOL, I can’t wait for this clown to fade back into obscurity. He is an embarrassment to Republicans. Squandered potential has given way to clownish stupidity.

When you hire someone to be your lawyer, does that mean they now work for you, or just kinda hang around, talking with the judge and such?.

Then there is the question of reimbursement. How does one reimburse a lawyer for their services? I mean, if they are hired, to represent them, in a court of law.

Or is there no communication between the plaintiff/defendant and their representative, the lawyer?

Just thinking out loud here.

Wondering how it all comes down.

I know, isn’t it great. If you are against Trump or FR, just tune into Rush, Levin, etc.
