Marco Rubio mum on David Rivera questions, Jeb Bush Jr. floated as future replacement

[flamingdem]

Well well well Marquito doesn't want to weigh in on his best friend and business associate Rivera?

QUE LASTIMA

Sen. Marco Rubio preferred to get rained on Monday than answer questions about a criminal investigation into his long-time friend and ally, Congressman David Rivera.

Rivera is the subject of a federal grand-jury investigation into whether he steered tens of thousands of unreported cash to a Democratic congressional candidate who ran against a rival of the Republican.

The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald first reported the allegations when two longtime Rivera campaign vendors said he was behind the effort that’s now under federal scrutiny.

Rivera has attacked the vendors’ credibility, but Rubio had nothing but good things to say about the two.

“I’ve always had positive dealings with them,” said Rubio, who tried to say as little as possible about Rivera before an aide whisked him away in the rain at an event.

Meantime, top Republicans from Washington D.C. to Tallahassee to Miami are laying the groundwork to field new challengers for the District 26 Congressional seat in the event that Rivera loses the race to Democratic challenger Joe Garcia.

Mother - smuggler
Sister - writes prescription drug script for herself

2. The mother is a smuggler?

3. She was stopped at Miami airport customs

a few years ago, I think when W was Pres and had her bags full of stuff from SA she hadn't claimed

I don't have a link anymore

6. I believe she ended up paying over $14,000 in fines

and they gave her numerous oppurtunities to declare the stuff

4. All 3 of Jeb Sr.'s kids have been arrested:

5. Well I'll give them credit for getting away with a lot!

As opposed to some of these right wing Cuban Americans who are finally getting busted.

Imagine if their kids were arrested for drug addiction heh

7. It's all part of the "We don't need no stinkin' law" attitude of the Bushes.

8. Rivera is the biggest sleaze down here in South Florida

and that's saying a lot. The slime runs deep in Miami politics.
