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.
Boehner is sleazy but attorneys that appear for a case are a matter of public record. Even Boehner wouldn’t declare something untrue that is a matter of public record.
Boehner hates Cruz and he likely misled the media into believing that Cruz and he were close. But facts are facts, Cruz was an attorney on the case and Cruz denied he was. That makes Cruz a liar.
