Jeb Bush already has plenty of problems with the GOP base, but this latest revelation, dug out of Hillary Clintons financial disclosure form, will up the poison dosage pretty close to the fatal level. Lee Fang of The Intercept, the website headed by Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras (of Edward Snowden leak fame) and funded by ebay billionaire Pierre Omidyar, discovered:
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received nearly a quarter of a million dollars last year for a speaking engagement on behalf of Academic Partnerships, a for-profit education company in which Jeb Bush held an ownership stake and on whose board he served.
Clintons newly filed personal financial disclosure shows that she was paid $225,500 on March 24, 2014 by Academic Partnerships. At the invitation-only event in Dallas, Texas, Clinton reportedly said, today a student doesnt need to travel to Cambridge, Mass., or Cambridge, England, to get a world-class education.
According to Fang, Jeb Bushs involvement in the company predates Hillarys cashing in by 3 years:

Yeah, it's the Uni-party. That's what the Uni-Party does.
One aim of this Bush’s educational foundation - so it states - is to help reduce the costs of higher education. Not sure how paying a boring old liberal hag a quarter mill for a speech helps the mission along.....
This should toast Bush!
well of course it’s related to that....the irony is going to be damaging nonetheless.
No, it is organized crime.
A campaign that is imploding even before it officially starts. Get out the butter and jam because Jeb is toast!
“Jeb Bush-affiliated company paid Hillary $225k for a speech”
As old GWB would say when referring to Bill Clinton....”he’s my brother from another mother”. Jesse Jackson said it all when he said “out da Bushs’!
Hillary should pick Jeb as her running mate.
Florida is where Bush needs to be stopped..if not he gets the nom. Plain and simple. The biggest problem is how the Florida primaries work. Winner take all. So if all the candidates take 79% and Bush gets 21% he walks away with a tremdous lead in the count and pushes the rest away.
On the other hand should someone else get the 21% Bush is finished. Then throw Rubio into the mix. Should Rubio won that doesnt mean he will get the nom...but it does mean Bush is finished!
Being honest the split between Rubio and Bush is of more concern to me than the other candidates..as a primary Florida voter.
I support Cruz, would be happy with Walker but my vote in the primary almost garauntee Bush the nom. Let me hear from FReepers on this.
