No, Ted Cruz was not ‘John Boehner’s lawyer’

John Boehner via stanforddaily

The media is working hard to convince you that they caught Ted Cruz in a lie about working with John Boehner. But they are the ones lying, as usual.

During an interview hosted by Stanford in Government (SIG) and the Stanford Speakers Bureau, former House Speaker John Boehner referred to presidential candidate Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh.” He continued, “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

But Boehner did not “work” with Ted Cruz. Boehner only worked against Cruz as he golfed with Trump, who Boehner referred to as his “texting buddy.”

The comments are reminiscent of other nasty names Boehner has used to describe the constant anti-establishment thorn in his side. Last year, the failed Speaker referred to Cruz as a “jackass,” and still another time as a “false prophet.

Why would the “baby lawyer” be discussing the case with the press? Even junior associates have private clients. Sounds like another Cruz tale.

Ah... because ALL “baby lawyers” are authorized to speak with the press on behalf of their boss’s clients without being the client’s lawyer, right?

"Balance" that Cruz has lied that Trunmp:

1. is against the 2nd amendment

2. is against Isreal

3. agrees with the Obama/Kerry Iranian "deal"

Ted lied about those...one reason I went from contributor to Cruz to Trump voter.

I didn't like Cruz's semantic games! And now...I can't stand to listen to Ted Cruz!

:" “In the old days we had proper balance on things when a lie was posted.
Well, I like the old days, so here is some balance...”
"Well said."

EXACTLY TRUE !
That's what drew me here - fairness and discourse
But that was long before 'TWITTER' was considered a reliable source !

The fact that the term “lawyer” is often used when a team of lawyers is the reality doesn’t change anything.

How long have you been one of those “It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is people, OneVike? The same reasoning in the same context.

Why? Because you don’t want the truth to come out?

Why are the records sealed when the birth & citizenship circumstances are complex to say the least?

Cruz ran as senator from Texas without mentioning that he was a dual citizen. Isn’t that relevant? What else is he hiding about his eligibility? I am tired of people trying to shut up people asking reasonable questions. That’s how we got Obama....once is more than enough!

Not all “baby lawyers” only the smartest ones in the whole world who are anointed by God or at least the face of God.

And Benedict Arnold was a hero until he wasn't.

Cruz is dead to any honest conservative based on the many lies and actions throughout his campaign. He has proven time and time again that he can not be trusted.

And by the way, that Canadian birth makes him ineligible under the US Constitution. A "Constitutional lawyer" should know that.

So you are telling us that the Seattle Times got it wring in 1998?

Campaign Money To Fight Mcdermott

By James V. Grimaldi

Seattle Times Washington Bureau

[excerpt] 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.

“The fund-raising letter is much ado about nothing,” Cruz said. “Congressman McDermott has consistently attempted to delay the litigation and drive up the expense. It is reasonably expected that Congressman Boehner will use the means at his disposal to raise the funds to pursue this lawsuit.”

You would have us believe that Ted Cruz, who admitted to the Seattle Times that he was indeed the attorney for Boehner, didn't really mean he was the actual attorney, but just a paper pusher?

Yeah, and I have some ocean front property in South Dakota you might also be interested in.

So Cruz did work as a lawyer n Boehner's case after all ...

Do lawyers have trouble telling the truth because they learn so many ways to rephrase it ? Check your tag line with your name calling on this thread; is it consistent ?

If Ted was a lawyer on the case, then Boehner told the truth.

Ted denied he was ever a lawyer for Boehner, a lie.

Ted denied knowing or talking to Boehner, perhaps true but it doesn’t matter.

One lie and a truth make one a liar.

Why would you take Boehner’s word over Cruz’s? Boehner is one of the sleaziest congress critters ever, and Cruz’s example in the Senate helped end Boehner’s putrid career. Boehner is a spiteful, hate-filled puss-pocket.

“I get along with almost everyone...”
Boehner, you lying sack, what you should have said, if you were honest, is: “I will kiss the ass of almost everyone...”

Drop it.
You are beginning to come off as a retard.

OK, so you are obviously part of the North American Union crowd who wants to install a Canadian in the White House to make the transition easier. We get that, otherwise we are still waiting to see a SINGLE piece of paper that shows that Ted Cruz’ birth was registered with the United States Government at his birth. All the official paper we have seen so far, i.e. his Canadian Birth Certificate, and Renunciation of that Canadian Citizenship, indicate that he was in fact a Natural Born Canadian, and do not establish any claim to American citizenship at all.

I guess we can forget about getting any decent appointee to the SCOTUS since they will all be Lawyers. I guess we can get another professor nimrod.

Maybe we can finally get Harriet Miers in there.
