Bush transparency claims tested by unreleased Bacardi emails
To hear Jeb Bush tell it, he's the anti-Hillary Clinton, a veritable open-book about his time as Florida governor, especially when it comes to publicly releasing his emails -- an issue that has dogged the Democratic presidential front-runner for months.
Bush rolled out his cybersecurity plan recently in a meeting with tech leaders in Seattle, while continuing to blast Clinton: "It should not be too much to ask government officials to abide by the laws and rules in place to safeguard our national security."
And when he released his emails from his time as governor in an e-book last month, "Reply All." his campaign blasted out a website and video with a clear message: Bush is an "open book" and Clinton is "elusive and evasive."
"With the release of his ebook, Governor Bush continues to show his genuine openness and transparency. The emails weren't written with an eye toward future office. They are the earliest form of 'Jeb Unfiltered,'" the Bush campaign wrote on its site. The Bush team then posted a pre-written tweet for supporters to blast out: "While she dodges and hides, Governor Bush has consistently chosen the path of transparency. The contrast couldn't be clearer."
But a 2002 trade battle between Bacardi and Cuba over the rights to the "Havana Club" label shows Bush's transparency has its limits and shows some details are missing from the Bush email repository.
