Cruzlim baloney is particularly easy to spot. He was Boner’s lawyer and he lied about it. Why these people defend his inability to be honest on the simplest of things is beyond me.

Achtung: this site is an ad trap, but it states:
“Renee Nal is a co-founder of TavernKeepers.com, a news and political commentary site founded by former Glenn Beck interns.”

Another flopsweating, gaslighting, Cruz/Beck stormtrooper in high dudgeon because people might draw an inference that her guy is an insider GOP-e tool getting cover from his paymasters.
Why would we think that?
Just walk away Renee.

I don't know how many times I saw "Cruz was Boehner's Lawyer" on Free Republic. This board has become unreliable.

Its gotten worse than the children at DU. Really enjoyed the Conservative discussion over the last decade.

Thanks.

What did you hope to accomplish by posting this article?

Cruz indeed was Boehner’s lawyer in the wiretapping case against James McDermott. That is a matter of public record.

Foot. Smokin’. Stop shootin’

I have clients who don’t know me at all, including ones I have barely spoken to. Boehner is garbage. One of our rulers who thinks he can say anything he wants. He is a LIAR and corrupt to the core.

Looks as if Ted Cruz was making statements to the press on behalf of John Boehner in 1998, i.e., before he even ran for the Senate.

“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.”

Cruz has been lying his ass off lately. Gross exaggeration = Lie in my book.

Attacking Trump supporters is going too far. Cruz has proven he’s nothing but an ideological zealot.

I like both men. We are lucky that the only two men in the GOP I would trust as president, are the only two men left standing. Both are proving to be tough fighters prepared to fight to the last bullet. I can’t wait to see one or the other of them in the White House. Its heads we win, tails we win.

Amen.

“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.

Cruz was his lawyer in 1998.
It makes no difference to me, but lying about it is counterproductive.
Cruz has become counterproductive to the citizens desires.
If he wants to continue to have a political future he should accept that Republican voters want Trump.
A contested convetion will only elect Hillary.
Even if he finagles the nomination, he will not be President.

Cruz to Hannity last night:

“I was a junior lawyer. My boss (Mike Carvin) was hired to be [Boehner’s] lawyer,” Cruz explained. “So I worked on the case. I worked on some appellate briefs. I don’t know that I ever met him. We haven’t said 50 words to each other in our lives. I was a baby lawyer a couple years out of law school working on editing some briefs and helping write them. But I don’t know the man.”

Rafael Cruz was on national TV; CBS News saying that he met John Boehner in passing 2 or 3 times. Rafael did not say that he worked as his legal team

This article you posted is a lie. Just because you like the words in th title doesn’t make it true.

And the article has its own thread here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3425910/posts

And it’s been refuted many times over.

Kandy Atz #35. “Yes, the little punk grabbed her. Please don’t play the Trump game and deny that he ever touched her or knew her. That crap is getting old. Accept responsibility, apologize, and move on - that is what men of character would do.”

So Freepers are like “DU children” now? Because we have the effrontery to vet your guy, while Trump has been turned inside-out by Uniparty news goons?
That tired moaning from you Cruzers—that’s what’s getting old, especially when you lay your mouth on FR:
`Obama never met Blagojevech. Corey Lewandowski is a beast. Cruz didn’t do any legal work for Boehner. Trump caused the rioting ... ‘
Go to DU if you want to spout that malicious, false tripe.

As well as a concern troll, I’m thinking maybe you’re just another toxic, sour grapes, Texas Cruzer drama queen.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Well, the same article was posted yesterday and Gumpa is here trying to dispute it again today.

It isn’t hard at all for Grumpa to post the same discredited crap repeatedly.

Right Gumpa?

Ted Cruz admitted it on Hannity yesterday. He says it was a long time ago.

There it is.

That has been the Cruz approach on every subject this last year.

They simply toss it on the forum over and over, and it gets shot down over and over.

Sadly, some folks buy into it. Even if a small few do, they spread it.

It’s propaganda! Nothing but.

Someone coming back to post this level of untruth should get their walking papers IMO.
