EXCERPT

“What we’re doing is a drill-down investigation of Jeb’s finances similar to what we did with the Clintons in terms of looking at financial dealings, cronyism, who he’s been involved with,” Schweizer told Bloomberg Politics. “We’ve found some interesting things.”

(snip)

Schweizer told Bloomberg that his team of researchers has been poring over financial details from the former Florida governor for about four months.

I guess that eliminates the Clinton charge that he is a Republican Hitman.

The Dems, as represented by John Dean, say he is a Ted Cruz hit man.

John Dean represents the Dems????? Last time I checked, his last employer was Richard Nixon, just before he ratted out Haldeman and Ehrlichman.

JEB SUCKED-UP TO VENEZUELAN FRAUDSTER--DEMOCRAT FUND-RAISER---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 refugees (which turned out to be a scam).

John Dean’s latest employers have been MSNBC, Keith Olberman and Randi Rhodes. He is a professional anti-Republican.

There’s already been a good book going back to Jebbie’s great-grandfathers and forward to his brother so this will just be another chapter of the same book of sleazy connections across nearly a century.

Peter S. is a real gem.

Jeb is a big, fat, obvious target.

I look forward to this.

This is really bad news for Hillary. The Clinton “attack the messenger tactic” is hard when the messenger is going after one of your political opponents. (Disclaimer, of course we know that these two really belong on the same ticket. I am saying that ostensibly they are on opposite sides)

I’ll be surprised when he finds a politician WITHOUT financial discrepancies. That will be news.
