Of the reported $25 million that Bill and Hillary Clinton have collected for paid speeches since the beginning of 2014, $225,000 of that came from Academic Partnerships, an education company in which Jeb Bush has a small ownership stake.

The Intercept’s Lee Fang reported Monday that Hillary Clinton delivered the speech in Dallas, Texas on March 24, 2014 to a private event for company, which aims to help universities offer degree programs online for students around the world.

Clinton and Bush both spoke at the conference last year, though they did not appear together.

“Jeb Bush has a small ownership stake.”

Compare that to the headline.

Wouldn't pay the woman $225 for any speech that she was able to deliver--even if she switched sides! This argues strongly against the business sense of those running the "Education Company," involved. They are certainly not qualified to have a say in fiscal policy.

Nope. No UniParty here. Just keep believing the media spin about Right vs. Left and go back to sleep.

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.
I do not know which will be president or vice president since they both have the same amount of estrogen.

these DC insiders using “speaking fees” to pay each other outlandish amounts of money sure does remind me of the antics of former democRAT speaker Jim Wright and the way he skirted house ethics rules some 20-odd years ago.

i honestly can’t conceive of any company paying somebody $225K to give a 1-2 hour speech and NOT expecting there to be some sort of quid pro quo involved.
