Jeb Bush conducted ALL his communications on private '[e-mail]'

[wyldwolf]

The former governor conducted all his communication on his private [e-mail] account and turned over the hand-selected batch to the state archives when he left office. Absent from the stash are emails the governor deemed not relevant to the public record: those relating to politics, fundraising, and personal matters while he was governor. (Tampa Bay Times)

Bring it, Jeb.

1. The differnce is he wasn't SOS that's going to be there argument

[wyldwolf]

4. It's a losing argument

To the average person, a Governor who conducted ALL his business from a private email account calling out another politician for doing the same will be viewed as hypocrisy.

[LondonReign2]

34. It is NOT hypocrisy, however, to call out Bush while vociferously defending Clinton

Nope, not at all

[hrmjustin]

2. Thanks for posting this.

I have trashed all recent gd threads on Hillary. I am not in the mood today to deal with her detractors.

That is not to say that people don't have honest opinions here that differ from moine but i just not up tp dealing with it today.

[BlueCaliDem]

6. Good idea. I'll be doing the same. eom

[hrmjustin]

7. I never liked the idea but to keep my sanity today I think I need it.

[BlueCaliDem]

10. Maybe if enough of us do it, it might triggers something and DU can stop posting anti-Hillary

Clinton posts.

Does DU really need to do the Koch Bros' and GOP's dirty work for them?

[hrmjustin]

13. Well I always expect push back on Hillary and that is fair.

And this is a huge story today so it will be discussed but a few here are showing their glee at this news and I find it sad.

But we are all entitled to our opinion.

[DrDan]

3. as has rick scott . . . (well, not sure if "all his communications" applies)

but it is an issue right now

[BlueCaliDem]

5. True. But for some, IOKIYAR. Better to focus on the strong Democrat and tear her down

before she even announces! That way, the Koch Bros and Neo-Cons can save a lot of dough that they can then spend on more Neo-Confederates to infest Congress.

[Iggo]

8. And that's a bad thing, right?

[BlueCaliDem]

14. It shows the hypocrisy by the former Florida Governor who's condemning Secretary Clinton

for doing exactly what he's done in his desperate act to define her even before she's announced a run for the White House. He needs to do this. She beats him in each and every poll and apparently also the internals that he's seeing.

John Ellis Bush is a typical Republican hypocrite, but thanks to a complicit U.S. M$M, his disinformation (and omission) will go viral in seconds while Democrats are relegated to correcting that misinformation on liberal blogs.

[Iggo]

29. Sure, it shows his hypocrisy. But is it a good or a bad thing?

And by that I think you know that I mean: Is it wrong when he does it, but okay when we do it?

[BlueCaliDem]

30. It's only wrong when he does it and then condemns others for doing the same thing.

That's the definition of hypocrisy.

[Iggo]

31. Don't hurt yourself...lol.

I get it, and I agree with you, Bush is being a HUUUUGE hypocrite on this.

I still think Clinton fucked up, though. Just because somebody who also fucked up is calling her on it doesn't make it okay that she fucked up.

[BlueCaliDem]

32. Well, former Secretary of Statem, Colin Powell, says he also used his private e-mail

while in office, a time when the State Department's computer system was famously obsolete. He's apparently going to make a statement about it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026305109

So, no, I disagree. She didn't, um, eff, up.

[Iggo]

33. How was what she did the right thing to do, as opposed to the wrong thing to do?

[Fumesucker]

9. Mom! Jebbie didn't wash *his* hands before eating either

[wyldwolf]

12. I'll give you credit for one thing

You're not letting your disappointment at how quickly the case against Hillary is unraveling show too much.

[Fumesucker]

17. I think using Jeb as an example of moral rectitude is a mistake

Jeb didn't have many defenders here on DU when that little bit of information came out.

[wyldwolf]

18. I DO love the smell of of dashed 'progressive' anti-Hillary hopes.

[Fumesucker]

21. Naa na na na boo boo..

It is said by those who say things that growing old is mandatory while growing up is optional.

It's sad and depressing that you cannot see what damage you are doing to the person you say you support.

The soft bigotry of low expectations indeed.

[wyldwolf]

22. ooh, you're getting all philosophical now. I'm amused.

[Fumesucker]

23. Oh my first post was philosophical too..

Pointing out the childish standard you have used to defend Hillary.

[wyldwolf]

24. your 'childish standards' is everyone else's facts.

[Fumesucker]

25. ...

[wyldwolf]

26. ...

[LondonReign2]

35. +1,000

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

15. So you're TRYING to point out that Hillary is like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker?

And here I thought you actually supported her.

[wyldwolf]

16. I DO love the smell of of dashed 'progressive' anti-Hillary hopes.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

19. You might want to get a nasal tune-up.

I think what you're smelling is desperation by pro-Hillary folks, when they think saying 'OMG, look, she only did what Republicans we all think suck did, so it isn't bad, suddenly!' makes it all better.

[wyldwolf]

38. from you, yes. Tell me, Langston

How many of these faux scandals have the GOP and "prooogresssiiivvvesss" tried to pin on the Clintons? How many of have stuck?

Big old goose egg.

[Autumn]

41. Do you think that this will be one day and done like Jebs?

This may take months, cause that how they roll.This is tasty meat for the pukes and the media. People will get sick of hearing about it and Hillary will pay the price on that. Yeah a Big old goose egg called Clinton fatigue.

[KamaAina]

37. So tell me, Hillary, how did you come up with the handle 'wyldwolf'?

Was that your nickname at Wellesley?

[Gothmog]

27. Jeb is trying to exploit this story and it may backfire on him

[hedgehog]

28. But Mom, all the other kids are doing it!

[Autumn]

40. Bring it? Yeah because the republicans and the media will treat Hillary JUST like they treat

the Bush's Talk about delusional and desperate.

[Calista241]

42. Jeb is ahead of this story because he's releasing his emails.

He released some 250,000 emails a couple months ago, and the release of his other emails is scheduled with the media.

Remember all that shit about terry schiavo recently. He released all that shit, and much of it makes him look dumb.

Who thinks we'll see Clinton's emails? She's going to be running from this story for a long time.

[SunSeeker]

43. Not only that, the ones Jeb did turn over had his constituents' private info.

He doxed his constituents. He did not get their permission to release the emails with their private info. In CA, that is a violation of law; I assume FL has a similar law.
