Republicans who are lambasting Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email address on a private server have found themselves on a minefield, each facing questions about their own transparency.
The closest parallel among Clinton's likely 2016 challengers: Jeb Bush.
The former Florida governor was quick to criticize Clinton this week amid reports that she'd never used a government email during her four years as secretary of state.
Like Clinton, though, Bush had set up his own home server with a private address during his time in office. He still uses it, giving it out at events and asking supporters to email him comments and concerns. And, like Clinton, several of his top aides had email addresses connected Bush's server, too.

Maybe we will get a twofer out of this!
Hit piece on El Jefe Jeb.
You knew it was coming.
As the MSM circles the wagons to save Mistress Strangelove.
Yep. Torpedo them both.
YEAH! Arrest them all! Clintons and Bushes!
Gee. It didn’t take much time to get the full poop on this, did it.
I wonder why CNN et al never got to the same revelations about Hillary’s use of same AFTER she left the State Department?
Secondly, the big difference here I see is one would first have to examine the requirements for Federal Government employees and then examine Florida State requirements to see if the same requirements exist for both.
Lastly, I really don’t care if this affects Jeb Bush...I hope it does. But I do not want it to lessen the impact on Hillary under any circumstance.
Clinton News Network:
Hey, what Hillary did is understandable - look Bush did the same thing!
Its all part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
By law-
Politicians- CANNOT use government computers for fundraising-
Jeb Bush does NOT hold office
Jeb Bush did not “hide “ this server
Hope the milenials are aware of this- most old time
demonrats do not know the difference between email
and the post office- (oh, one has union employees)
More proof that the Bushes and the Clintons are two sides
of the same coin.
In return for the Democratic Party pushing their grassroots out to vote for Jeb in the Republican open primaries, Jeb will be expected to continue to support liberal initiatives that destroy conservatism in America.
How didn’t he hide it if nobody knew about it until now?
It seems CNN does have some value after all
Jeb Bush doesn’t matter. Focus on hillary. Jeb isn’t going to get constitutional conservative votes, and it goes way beyond email.
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, Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records. Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Oops--how'd that get posted? (Snort)
Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the 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 companies.
AM/GREED also aired a pic of Jeb in Haiti---supposedly looking at Osorio's pre-fab housing project for Haitian refugees (which turned out to be a scam).
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)
Open borders, 'free trade', more H1b visas, wars without congress, more debt, common core, = GOP
“Two wrongs DO make a right!” - It’s the motto of the commie lib state controlled “media”. As long as you can find a Republican that’s doing it or you think might be doing it, then it’s okay.
I think...I agree with you. Except for the part of Jeb being a Republican. I stand by my opinion. I believe he is a man with a corrupt heart, who yearns for power, at the expense of the broke middle class, the conservatives of America. The facts showing him siding with the Democrat agenda, which you explicitly pointed to in your comment, bear out my plain assertion.
No Bushes, No Clintons
