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.

One of the great things about a leftist candidate for President (Obama) who literally has had no work or legislative experience - you can create any narrative you want, complete with fictional jobs (U. Chicago law professor, for example)

Just like a naked Barbie that can be clothed in any outfit you want.

Criminals whose #BlackLivesMatter are represented by Lawyers and those lawyers are admired.’’

Representing clients in court is kind of what many lawyers do - it’s part of the job description

Exactly. Every party deserves zealous representation throughout the process.

IIRC, when Obama was a community agitator his job was to help deadbeat renters bilk their landlords.
