Ted Cruz Made $1 Million Representing Sketchy Clients While Running for Senate

Burnt Orange Report ^ | Aug 5, 2013 | Ben Sherman

The “Tire” case was about a foreign company (I think it was Chinese, but not sure) stole the designs of a Floridian for a particular heavy duty tire and also the inventors list of buyers and the Owner was about to go bankrupt. Thank goodness the case was lost and the American got his company and his inventions and clients back. I don’t believe Cruz argued the case, but did prepare the defense.

Cruz was a corporate lawyer for Morgan Lewis. I don’t know how much choice they get about their cases, but this is old news that Dewhurst tried to use in 2012.

Your facile attempt at an insult saddens me.

The insurance company didn’t cause his client to commit crimes. I was disgusted when Clinton got State Farm to pay for his illegal harassment of Paula Jones under his umbrella insurance.

The man had the money to pay Cruz’ fee. The mother of the child who committed suicide after getting caught up in the system wanted the guilty conspirators to pay not the insurance company.

[Just mythoughts]

Why this nation hired a Harvard Law Schooled, ineligible junior senator, to rule over US... It has worked so well we need to repeat the same practice. We will just call this next phase ‘conservative’.... and pretend it is.

Cruz had nothing to do with the creation of the fund or how much it pays victims. He was not one of the attorneys listed on the agreement. If anything, Cruz’s only involvement in the case would have resulted in more — not less — money for victims.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Your facile attempt at an insult saddens me.

Well at the end of the day I guess we're just not on the same page, because my definition of facile is your dodging of the issue of degraded clients by generalizing legal representation.

Many powerful conservatives went to those schools. BTW, Jeb and Marco are not Ivy League grads.

Wow, you really opened yourself up on that one.

U.S. presidents in the Ivy League:
John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama

Mostly globalist aholes.
So bite me.

The money was already awarded. The man didn’t want to pay so he sued his real estate insurance company to pay for his crimes.

[ChuteTheMall]

So he pocketed a million dollars for losing cases while running for Senate.....

.....at least he wasn’t exactly taking campaign bribes.

Maybe I can enlighten you about your boy Teddy. He is a paid slimy mouthpiece. He will represent anybody, as this article relates. But wait, there is more. Teddy takes their money and LOSES! Teddy isn't so great after all!

While at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Cruz represented Pfizer in a lawsuit brought by a group of public hospitals and community health centers who accused the drug manufacturer of overcharging. The Supreme Court eventually threw the case out.[71] Shandong Linglong Rubber Company was found guilty of marketing versions of tires that were based on blueprints stolen by a former employee of a Florida businessman and ordered to pay $26 million to the Floridian. Cruz worked on the Chinese company's appellant brief. The appeals court denied the appeal and affirmed the jury's award.[72] Cruz represented drug manufacturer B. Braun Medical Inc. in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit after the company was found guilty of wrongfully discharging a former employee. Cruz asserted that she had failed to prove that B. Braun had directed her to violate the law and that she had not presented sufficient evidence that her refusal to violate the law was why she had been fired. The appeals court rejected Cruz's argument and affirmed the $880,000 award.[72] Cruz represented Toyota in an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court in an statute of limitations case, where a judge wanted to investigate Toyota for contempt after a former Toyota in-house lawyer accused Toyota of unlawfully withholding documents in a product liability case.[73] Cruz unsuccessfully argued the judge's jurisdiction expired thirty days after the case was dismissed following an out-of-court settlement... -Wiki, Ted Cruz Private Practice!

Old news? Cruz ducked the really big case out of Texas, that went to the Supremes and manufactured rights where God never did... Then Cruz slipped into NewYorkCity, a place he claims has bad values to collect big money from his gay rich friends. After collecting his pay off in NewYorkCity, Cruz arose like the face of Jesus in Iowa to fleece those ever ready to be deceived Evangelicals....

There’s that civility Jim was asking for.

[20yearsofinternet]

Cruz is a leftist/globalist at heart who pretends to be Christian and conservative because it’s the path he’s chosen to achieve his goal of being world leader.

And people fall for it.

"So bite me."

See ya, snowflake.

Prove to me that Barack Obama attended or graduated from Harvard Law School. Many have claimed that, but I’ve never seen a lick of proof.

President Reagan has a couple of words for you... will only take a few seconds...

So you think you’re “un-zottable” do you? I’ve seen much better FReepers than you fall by wayside. LOL
