Big surprise

Republican Jeb Bush to Lay Out Case for Stronger US Role in World

Jeb Bush is a gladhanding bagman, just like his father:

WASHINGTON — Jeb Bush personally lobbied the secretary of health and human services, while his father was vice president, on behalf of a Miami figure who would later flee the country accused of one of the greatest Medicare frauds in the program’s history.

Bush pressed then-HHS Secretary Margaret Heckler to give the man’s HMO a waiver so that it could accept larger sums of Medicare money than it otherwise would have been allowed, Heckler told The Huffington Post.

Miguel Recarey Jr., head of the health maintenance organization International Medical Centers (IMC) who often boasted of connections to the Miami Cuban mafia, paid Bush $75,000 in the mid-1980s. Bush has acknowledged receiving the payment but said it was tendered for real estate consultation. But the deal he consulted on was never closed.

The New York Times recently reported that the younger Bush made frequent use of his connection to his father both as vice president and president. “Even within a family long steeped in politics, Mr. Bush stood out to White House aides for the frequency of his communications and the intensity of the opinions,” the paper reported.

  1. On the hand you have the Bush crime family and on the other hand you have the Clinton crime family.
    Apparently the Clinton Group is no longer accepting all of those multi-million dollar donations from overseas donors. At least until Hillary’s election campaign ends.
    It seems that those millions flowing in from the Saudi princes and African dictators is presenting the “appearance” of a conflict of interest.
    So, Prince brutal dictator of Bantustan sending you $50 million dollars stolen from his people might not look to good to the public if they find out about it in the middle of your campaign Hillary? Especially if Prince brutal dictator claims that you gave him access to something for that donation?
    Crooks one and all.
