A lobbyist a kind of lawyer. Lawyers advocate for their clients, even when they’re less than savory. When Cruz was a private practice lawyer he also advocated for some less than stellar human beings:
“Among them, Mr. Cruz helped defend a Chinese tire company facing a $26 million jury verdict for copying technology stolen from a U.S. businessman, work that contrasts with the current anti-China rhetoric of rival Donald Trump. He also participated in two New Mexico personal-injury cases that sought to preserve historically large punitive damages, despite supporting sharp limits on such payouts elsewhere.”
Cruz vigorously advocated for his clients, just as Manafort vigorously advocated for his.

Did Manafort know Yanukovych was a Communist Oligarchic Thug?
