5. Fantastic article from Mother Jones. Unbelievably nasty people Jeb Bush chose as friends, partners.

Felt the need to post a photo of Jeb's good old "exile" friend, Armando Codina. Such a heavenly "exile".

Article mentions the former life in Cuba of Jeb Bush's good "exile" friend, Camilo Padreda before he fled retribution after the Revolution, running to Miami to hide. From the article:


He had also been a counterintelligence officer for deposed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.


Also important to check the information on Jeb Bush's friend, Cuban "exile" Miguel Recarey, who pulled off the largest Medicaid theft in US history himself, with Jeb Bush going to bat with his father in order to catch Recarey a break, who took off to hide eventually in Spain, after a quick duck into Venezuela.

The article reminds us that Miguel Recarey had, as an associate, "Miami Mafia godfather Santo Trafficante, Jr." It's all so dirty it could make a maggot gag.

Here's an article on Jeb Bush's associate, Camilo Padreda, showing him to be a real specimen resembling a blending of so many "exile" notables in South Florida public life. Ve-ry strange world with these people in it.

People need to know about these things, instead of allowing them all to stay deeply buried and out of sight.

Thank you, RandySF.
