Jeb Bush's emails detail communications with top donors
Source: Associated Press
WASHINGTON Among the many thousands of emails Jeb Bush received as Florida governor are a string of notes from campaign donors asking for favors and making suggestions.
Invariably, Bush responded quickly. Sometimes, he appointed a person a donor had recommended for a position. Other times, he rejected advice about a piece of legislation.
It's an insight into Bush's work as governor that's possible only because his emails are open for review, something not yet available for those sent and received by Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. Like Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bush used a personal email address and private server. But, positioning himself as a transparent candidate if he runs for the Republican nomination, he has posted online more than 275,000 emails from his two terms in office.
A review by the Associated Press of Bush's emails found that prominent donors to Bush and his family regularly urged him to appoint certain candidates for judgeships, public boards and other committees.

The Wall Street Journal today, for example, takes a look at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bushs (R) record.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a likely Republican presidential candidate, primarily used a personal email account on his own computer server when he was in office from 1999 to 2007. In December, he posted online hundreds of thousands of emails from both the private and government accounts. Mr. Bushs spokeswoman said that emails from the private account unrelated to government business werent turned over to the state or preserved. [ ]

He released over 275,000, and many personal. Of course he's hiding shit....but he makes himself look good along with his intentions to be open.

And...this is NOT important thus we do not rank it above what Hillary had for lunch.

(128,905 posts)And the general public won't give a damn as they probably don't even know who Jeb is other than some "Bush" (but only if you mention the last name), let alone be able to find Florida on a map (unless they had the opportunity to visit Disney World). March Madness is about to start, Spring Training, Spring Break, St. Patty's Day celebrations & NASCAR are underway, and the harsh winter in much of the populated country, is fading fast.
