Seems to me an admission that he was, at one time, hired as a lawyer for Boehner and Company. The fact that he was a “baby lawyer” doing some appellate briefs for his boss on Boehner’s behalf doesn’t make the claim that he was once Boehner’s lawyer untrue.
Why would the “baby lawyer” be discussing the case with the press? Even junior associates have private clients. Sounds like another Cruz tale.
