If Bonehead had just made crap up, nobody would be posting articles written in 1998 backing up what he said.
Boehner is too good a liar to just make things up - he takes a kernel of truth to disguise his lies.
At the core, the question is: Did Boehner have enough direct contact with Cruz to say what he said? I respond with an emphatic NO! The Leaker of the House is doing gymnastics to give credibility to his original lie.
Who should I believe? Boehner or Cruz? It’s a no-brainer for me...you choose for yourself.
