Jeb Bush’s for-profit education company reportedly paid Hillary Clinton $225,000 for a speech in March of last year.

According to a report in The Intercept, Academic Partnerships, the education group Bush invested in and on whose board he sat until December of last year, paid Clinton the hefty sum to speak at an invitation-only event on March 24, 2014 in Dallas, Texas.

Bush reportedly “joined Academic Partnerships as an investor and as a paid advisor” in 2011 before resigning from the group in December of last year after he announced that he was exploring a presidential bid. Bush, who awarded Clinton the Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center on the eve of the first anniversary of the Benghazi attacks, reportedly also spoke at the same conference though he did not share stage with Clinton, according to The Intercept.

The shot at the Presidency was over for Christie the day he hugged Obama.

The shot at the Presidency was OVER the day JEB gave Hillary an award. He literally turned the brass ring over to her. So much for his judgment.

[Sir Napsalot]

For A speech? Words of gold wouldn't have cost as much.

Besides the obvious 'what did that money buy' question, there's question about Jeb's management judgment then.

[Timber Rattler]

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Jeb was actually a contributor to the Clinton Foundation...

[newfreep]

Considering GWB and Sick Willie are “brothers”, donating would be a family thing...

[OttawaFreeper]

When she spoke in Dallas, did she affect a Texas accent? The other thing about this is why would these people want to go and hear her speak? Watching reruns of “Barnaby Jones” or “The Donna Reed Show” or even “Hee Haw” would probably have more entertainment value.

Jeb Bush honors Hillary on eve of Benghazi 1st year anniversary.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) will honor former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with this year’s Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center.

The award will be presented to Clinton on September 10th, the eve of the first anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States mission in Benghazi that killed four American.

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Bush, a potential GOP contender in the 2016 presidential race, is chairman of the board of trustees of the National Constitution Center located in Philadelphia.

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” Bush said in a statement. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Defender of Liberty Medal.”

==============================================

Bush’s decision to honor Clinton, who is considered by some to be a likely Democrat candidate for president in 2016, was condemned by the Independence Hall Tea Party Association of Philadelphia. According to the Christian Science Monitor, the organization released its own statement Monday, referring to the event as “extremely distressing,” and offering, instead, an opportunity for another Liberty Medal recipient.

According to the statement: As all of you undoubtedly know, much of the blame for the Obama Administration’s failure to contain the Benghazi attack and the scandalous handling of its aftermath, can be traced directly to Ms. Clinton.

Indeed, a Congressional investigation regarding Ms. Clinton’s role in the cover-up of the Administration’s failure is still ongoing.

=====================================================

A newly formed organization, the Independence Hall Foundation, will hold a “What Difference Does It Make” press conference on Independence Mall, September 10, 4 PM, to denounce the selection of Ms. Clinton as the 2013 Liberty Medal recipient and to offer an alternative award (details below). During the conference, the Foundation will name its choice of recipient(s) for the 2013 Defender of Liberty Medal. Dom Giordano will headline the presser and we certainly hope you will consider joining us. (SOURCE: BREITBART.COM 9/9/13)

JEB IN THICK W/ CLINTON FUND-RAISER--
VENEZUELAN FRAUDSTER NOW IN JAIL

The outstanding cable TV anthology show "American Greed" did a segment on Venezuelan fraudster (now jailed) Claudio Osorio. Osorio, a Venezuelan schemer, organized high profile fundraisers, and was in thick w/ Democrats Obama, Hillary and Bill-----and with Jeb Bush.

Osorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records.

Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation.

Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US govt----the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake. In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."

A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money." Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.

Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges. Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle. The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home.

Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s bogus companies.

AM/GREED also aired a pic of Jeb sizing-up Osorio's pre-fab housing project for Haitian earthquake victims--a pet project of the Clintons. The pre-fabs turned out to be a scam.

THE cLINTOONS AND THE bUSHS ARE all part of the same club... the new world order crew...
dont think so..??
ok
both are FOR FREE TRADE TREATIES THAT DEPLETE AMERICAN MANUFACTURING JOBS
both are for OPEN BORDERS THAT ALLOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
both are for THE EDUCATION CORE PROGRAM
throw a blanket over them and you cant tell ONE FROM THE OTHER
and the final comparison Bush and Clinton joined forces in “aid to Haiti” and Bush said he is like another SON....
read my lips (higher taxes)
Bush is a FRAUD AS A CONSERVATIVE ...NO WAY

[nuconvert]

The Republican powers-that-be had better start putting their $$ and support behind someone else.
Jeb is NOT who their voters want and he’ll lose the election.

[Liz]

LOL-—you describe moi perfectly.

[Fresh Wind]

[ImNotLying]

Always follow the money. Jeb Bush is pushing Common Core like it is better than the next coming of Jesus. Jeb Bush owns or is an investor in an Education Company. I would guess Bush expects to reap big bucks by selling his education products to Common Core curriculum.

[Bratch]

[txrefugee]

Jeb should just run as her V.P. They are certainly on the same page philosophically.

[laconic]

10-1 the Bushes think more highly of Bill and HIllary than they ever did Ronald Reagan, without whom they would still be trust fund babies and little else. Read John Podhoretz’ book on GH Bush (he served as a speechwriter); no ideas and a real dislike for conservatives except at election time when he needed votes (the country clubbers do not bring numbers to the voting booth).
