While he travelled the state running for Senate last year, Ted Cruz found time to make $1 million representing deeply immoral clients of his former law firm. As the Dallas Morning News explains in their (pay-walled) investigate report, among his final clients were a businessman who pleaded guilty to bribery, a drug manufacturer that fired an employee who refused to break the law, and a company that illegally copied anothers tire design. Cruz lost all of those cases.
The businessman was Robert Mericle, who bribed two judges to give minors harsher sentences in the infamous kids for cash system. Why? To make money for his private juvenile detention center. Cruz lost the case, but he took home hundreds of thousands of Mericles money.
Two days after the arguments, Cruz appeared in his first primary debate with Dewhurst. The court had Mericle pay $2.15 million to fund local childrens health and welfare programs, and he faces up to three years in prison. His lawyer is now arguably the most prominent Republican in America. ...

I’m in the audience there, Einstein.
They probably thought so too.
Hey, how much did the 'law firm' contribute in kind to his Senate campaign... Ted is not competent enough to fill out those troublesome FEC forms. Cannot have it both ways... IF Ted is the brilliant lawyer some try and puff up, then he deliberately did not declare his special Goldman Sacks loan. Ted could not make a profit running a hot dog stand.
Notice, I did not complain about his special loan... only that Ted refused to declare it on his FEC filings... and he blamed somebody else for that failure.
The real stink about Cruz, neither he nor any of his sycophants continue to claim Cruz is for following the 'original intent' of the Constitution... I suppose that big departure of all hail Ted is to try and erase old news. It is laughable how far left the Cruz world has swung.
Hahahahahahahaaaaa! This quote from someone who takes every opportunity to post derogatory articles about Donald Trump.
I used to have respect for some people, but turncoats are just plain wrong. I am happy that Sarah Palin got wise to the smarmy lying Texan/Canadian/Cuban mongrel!
Bookmarked. BTTT.
Attorneys can refuse to take cases. The audio of Hillary gloating because she got a man off who she knew was guilty of raping a little girl is very disgusting and evil.
But this case disgusts me as well. Cruz’ case was civil. He didn’t have to take a civil case involving someone guilty of such horrendous crimes as this case was. He was trying to allow the guy to escape from being held liable for the monetary award and place the burden on the insurance company.
Thanks for the link. Bookmarked too.
See #41.
Wow, Cruz is skinny in that photo... He is eating well these days.
Here’s some more that came out during his senate run.
Ted Cruz’s law firm where he was a partner with Morgan Lewis & Bockius gave 100s of thousands of $$ to Obama, Hillary, and the DNC and along with campaign shady practices said in this article.

There have been several other cases where he represented unions over states and other so called “non-conservative” issues.
He’s just a smarmy lawyer.
Again, lawyers are the problem with America, NOT the solution.
Thanks for the info, but I tried to go to your link and my Norton virus checker said it was a known virus site.
“Ted Cruz used to be my attorney a long time ago. A good guy. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s a good guy,” Boehner told Jay Leno Thursday on NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”
