In reply to the discussion: Why has Jeb Bush's college graduation year been omitted by the media for at least 30 years now? [View all]anobserver2
(928 posts)Perhaps -- and I certainly don't know -- Jeb Bush had to fill out an application to work for the CIA, and lied on the application to the government that he had a college degree (when in fact he did not).
I think Jeb Bush was on the CIA payroll while in Venezuela, and that is why he did not release any tax returns for those years. I could be wrong, but I could be correct.
If the FBI investigated, then they would probably ask the university -- instead, the FBI should ask questions of the Latin American Studies Department -- about Jeb Bush at UT. And, the university administrators would then: lie their heads off to the FBI, is what I truly believe.
But if the FBI asked the Latin American Studies Department some questions, without even mentioning Jeb Bush, I think the FBI would get a very different set of answers than what the top mops at the university claim.
And then, the FBI would know: Jeb Bush is in fact a college drop-out because he was not there for 4 years for this 4-year degree (and, Jeb Bush had no AP credits and no transfer credits from another college). And, the FBI would know: those university administrators in the other UT office are a bunch of liars.
If the FBI then arrested Jeb Bush for a false application to the government for CIA work, and announced it to the press in a press release, I think the press would of course report this story.
But for the "watchdog" press to actually vet a candidate named Bush? I am not so sure our watchdog press is anything more than a bunch of lapdogs when it comes to vetting a presidential candidate named Bush.
Also, I don't think the press realizes how voters do desire facts about candidates -- yet, I think voters very much want to know who they can trust before they vote. I think it all comes down to that one issue every time: trust.
Jeb Bush should not be running for office, in my opinion. By my count, he's already stolen at least two elections, by fraudulently running as a college grad in the 1998 and 2002 FL gov races. He is not fit to take any oath of office due to his lies about many matters -- including this non-existent college degree. (And, I believe he well knows he is a fraud. I believe his parents know it, too.)
Just my two cents.
