It’s been all over the news. He first denies ever having been a lawyer for Boehner, then he proceeds to say he never talked or met with Boehner.
A lie followed by a truth still makes a lie.
He was on the case and his attorney history will show he was on the case, the same as if someone was a witness on a case. Cruz knows he was on it.
He should have told the truth: “I was an attorney on Boehner’s case but not the lead attorney.”
But Cruz lied:
“Their relationship in fact began almost two decades ago, when Boehner hired Cruz to be part of his legal team in the late 1990s. Boehner had sued longtime Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington state allegedly for defying wiretapping laws. Fifteen years before he was sworn in to the Senate, Cruz publicly defended Boehner, albeit briefly, per The Washington Post. The case continued for years, but a judge ultimately sided with Boehner and awarded him more than $1 million in legal fees by 2008.”

The reason Cruz is reacting this way is to shake off the truth that he has been a Washington insider. He is saying he doesn’t know Boehner to lend an argument that he is an outsider. He is not an outsider. He is an insider who happens to be unliked; he’s a pariah.
Being unliked by Boehner is a positive. Lying about working for him is a negative that far outweighs any of his positives.
At one time Cruz was to be admired for his stands but not any longer. He is led by Romney and RNC insiders. All that anyone needs to know about him to know he is owned are described in two words: “Neil Bush”.
Unmitigated liberal, establishment bs.
I trust Cruz, you choose to trust Boehner. ‘nuff said.
