Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) helped his brother-in-law, who was convicted for cocaine trafficking, receive his real estate license while the GOP presidential hopeful was serving as majority whip in the Florida House of Representatives, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Rubio penned a letter on Statehouse letterhead to the Florida Division of Real Estate in 2002, recommending Orlando Cicilia "without reservation" to receive his real estate license.
The brief letter said Rubio knew Cicilia for more than 25 year without mentioning that Cicilia was married to Rubio's sister. His brother-in-law had been released from jail about a year and a half prior to the recommendation.
Todd Harris, Rubio's campaign adviser, sent an email to The Post defending Rubio's letter: "Marco has recommended scores of Floridians for various professional positions and after Orlando paid his debt to society, Marco was happy to recommend him as well."(continued)

Cronyism
I assume the media will do the same .
This reminds me how much Rubio sweats and licks his lips. Many things could cause it such as medications, certain illegal drugs, health issues, nervousness, fear.
Your boy has some issues.
Oops, some one’s leaking all over Mr. Betrayal.
[cocaine trafficking]
Well, well, well.
Insert picture of Rubio gulping water.
Sounds like the brother-in-law was Snow White.
Had a coke head roommate for 2 weeks in college. He did exactly that.
“I am sure the GOPe will check this out to make sure “their boy” is snow white clean on this matter. I assume the media will do the same.”
LOL. But Trump’s people likely already have this documented.
Corrupt politician. Billing mistress to the the party and/or state credit card, getting his druggie family out of jail and into programs, sweetheart real estate deals, and more. Wonder how GOPe and Rubio thought they could slip all this by.
LOL! THAT is exactly what I wondered? I had already typed out “what is the whip position”, to ask Vet, so I didn’t have to read the article? ROTFL!
Then I was afraid Vet would think I was being too risqué, so I deleted it, but found YOUR take as well!
There is much to be said *for* capitalization of “Titles”.
He wrote a letter of recommendation!
Talk about hugh and series.
This guy looks more and more like he’s not just a questionable conservative ... he’s actually nothing. Which is eerily like Obama.
But ultimately either/both visits suffering on the fools who don't see it in time.
I'm not totally sure of this ... but he's beginning to smell an awful lot like a shell.
[[But whereas Obama is a slave to his resentment of the west, Rubio is a slave to his ego’s demands of what he accomplish. ]]
He is a typical south Florida politician.
You don’t want him in the White House.
Everything is crooked down there and everyone has their hand in the cookie jar when anything is done.
From what you say ...
FL is essentially a soft version of Chicago. (Age and Heat I guess being the difference.)
That’s kind of funny because I was 20 years in Boston - (and 30 in MA) ... Boston is basically a bumbling version of Chicago.
As compared to the Neanderthal with the mongoloid comb over? Whatev.
Oh, my! He wrote a letter.
