Cruz worked for a law firm that apparently represented Boehner in some manner. Technically, all lawyers working for a firm representing a client are that client’s lawyer according to the professional rules of conduct. But, to say he was Boehner’s lawyer is really a huge stretch of reality. And I’m no Cruz fan.

Not every lawyer in a firm is free to discuss a client case with the press as Cruz did with the Seattle Times. That is the job of the lead attorney.

“But, to say he was Boehner’s lawyer is really a huge stretch of reality.”

You are dead wrong. Ted Cruz represented Boehner in that case before the public, and here is the proof saying, “But Ted Cruz, Boehner’s attorney, said. . . .”, as quoted directly from the Seattle Times article at the time:

But Ted Cruz, Boehner’s attorney, said the fund-raising letter demonstrates nothing and highlights the weakness of McDermott’s defense. Boehner alleges that McDermott gave the taped phone call - which Republicans argue did not violate any promise made by Gingrich - to The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal and Roll Call, a semiweekly congressional newspaper.
