The New York Times previews Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer’s upcoming e-book Bush Bucks, an investigation of crony capitalism revolving around Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
From the New York Times:
Since announcing his presidential candidacy in June, Jeb Bush has made clear his distaste for officials who trade on their connections.
He has assailed the revolving-door culture of Washington, calling for “a little bit of a recession” there to thin the ranks of the permanent political class. He has proposed a strict six-year ban on lobbying for departing members of the House and the Senate.
And he has shown little patience for the euphemisms of the Capitol, using derisive air quotes to describe “government relations” and “government affairs” experts.
“It’s easy for elected officials to lay out standards of performance for others,” Mr. Bush said during a July speech in Tallahassee, where he worked for eight years as Florida’s governor. “But what are the high standards worth if they’re not applied to themselves?”
Yet a review of Mr. Bush’s finances shows that he has built his personal wealth with the help of companies that had business interests with Florida while he was governor, and that singled out his political expertise and government experience as important assets. Roughly half of the $36.8 million he has earned since he left office in 2007 stems from such companies, according to campaign disclosures and government filings.
Mr. Bush’s financial ties are the focus of a planned 38-page e-book by Peter Schweizer, the researcher who recently chronicled the financial entanglements of the Clinton family in the book “Clinton Cash.”

Someone blowing whistle on Yeb?
Jeb should know that only works for people on the other side of the aisle.
Jeb was working as a Lehman Brothers lobbyist when it collapsed and nearly took the entire financial system with it. He is corrupt and incompetent.
Significant material that might best be featured on a prominent position. On sidebar
¿Yeb? is like a blessing turned inside out. He descends from weakness to weakness. He gets turned out of green pastures. Every time someone tries to save him he sinks deeper in the mire. It is like watching a jinxed turtle roll down the stairs.
My my my my......the Slimes is blowing the whistle on Jeb.
Whatup with THAT???
The WHOLE Bush family does this stuff. They have for generations. THEY HAVE NO MARKETABLE SKILLS EXCEPT FOR THEIR POLITICAL CONNECTIONS!!!
Besides that, entire family is tied in to the Saudi “royal” family of child molesting homosexuals.
The Bush family is full of grifters and con artists. They are involved in all sorts of schemes to fleece the taxpayers.
The Obamas are the same way as are the Gores as is Harry Reid and the list goes on. NONE of these people have a talent to produce anything of value on their own.
Go Trump! The guy with a real job.
He is no better than Hillary C!
Trump?
And to think these idiots thought we’d fall for this.
The Bush family fought very hard behind the scenes to beat REagan. People forget. They’re doing the same thing with Trump.
I did not list the Clinton’s who have abused the American n nonprofit corporation laws in ways that demand they be prosecuted.
Wait... a politician using his influence to make money? Hell you say!
Attention please: Mr. Donald Trump pick up the white courtesy phone please. Mr. Donald Trump pick up the white courtesy phone.
Add to this Neal Bush of Silverado bank fame...
...Slimes blowing the whistle on Jeb...
Pulling the trigger early. This was part of the dirt package that was to be released after he got the nomination, to boost Hillary. Perhaps the media critters have inside knowledge that Jeb is pulling out of the race soon and they want to maximize the material to damage to the GOP in general.
We know how to find things about them that half the time I think they have even forgotten about...
If they think we are stupid, they should take a look in their mirrors and really know how stupid they are...
They have looked under every rock, mountain, and leaves for anything dirty on Trump, but you won't see the lying media doing that on their favorites will you?
Or even worse, wait until Trump makes an ad and runs it on Instagram and youtube.
Jeb goose is cooked...and just in time for Thanksgiving.
Go Trump! The guy with a real job.
Someone needs to send that to him.
