Jeb Bush Paid Hillary Clinton $225,000 To Speak @ Invite-Only Event

by JASmius



<Facepalm>:

Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received nearly a quarter of a million dollars last year for a speaking engagement on behalf of Academic Partnerships, a for-profit education company in which Jeb Bush held an ownership stake and on whose board he served. Clinton’s newly filed personal financial disclosure shows that she was paid $225,500 on March 24th, 2014 by Academic Partnerships….

Now you know why she "newly" released that little tidbit.

In 2011, Bush joined Academic Partnerships as an investor and as a paid adviser. He helped the company host multiple conferences and has appeared in online videos encouraging others to consider the Academic Partnership business model. Though he did not share the stage with Clinton, Bush spoke at the same conference.

Just redundant evidence of how chummy and joined at the hip the two wannabe American political dynasties really are.

I'll say it again: If the American electorate really can't come up with any better presidential matchup than Bush-Clinton III (counting Al Gore in 2000 as a Clinton stand-in), then the Old Republic is as well and truly dead as I've been saying it is for the past two and a half years.
