Rubio vows to release credit card records amid claims of financial mismanagement (2005-06 records)
Fox News Latino ^ | 11/5/15 | Fox News Latino

GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio said Wednesday he'll release in the next few weeks all of the statements detailing his use of an American Express card he shared with the Republican Party of Florida.

Rubio, a former speaker of the Florida House, had the party-issued card from February 2005 to November 2008. During his successful 2010 bid for U.S. Senate, news broke that Rubio had charged items such as grocery bills, plane tickets for his wife and repairs to the family minivan to the card. His spokesman, Alex Conant, said Wednesday that those expenses were for party business, and that the state GOP paid them.

Rubio says he paid for any personal expenses.

The statements from late 2006 to late 2008 are now public, but those from 2005 and most of 2006 are not.

I heard a former Rubio adviser talk about this last night.

He said Rubio can’t release the info, because if he did, he would be finished. He also said that Rubio was the most dishonest politician he ever worked for in over 20 years.

Yep. If there wasn’t an issue, they would have been released ages ago with little fanfare.

That has to be the bottom of the barrel.

Time for Marco to exit.

The true irony here is that Hillary must have already obtained a copy of all of Rubio’s credit card receipts.

Hillary: “It Takes A Crook”

LOL

I don’t believe Hillary wants to derail Rubio’s campaign right now. She could use it all later if he’s the nominee.

I believe Hillary believes she can beat all the GOP candidates but the only unknown for Hillary would be Trump. She’s not sure which way that would go. Trump is the candidate for the “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore” crowd.

Well that is just it. Rubio had to know this would become a campaign issue. He should have addressed the issue up front.

I’m no Rubio fan, but when the Idiots in the press start demanding this kind of stuff, the candidates should say, show me Obamas college transcripts, grades, records et al then I’ll get you what ever you want.
