Mystery around Jeb Bush's 'unknown' private email account

"SNIP................


Jeb Bush used another, previously unreported email address when he was governor of Florida, records show — the newest wrinkle in an evolving debate over public officials’ use of private email accounts.

The disclosure follows revelations that Hillary Rodham Clinton used a private email address to conduct State Department business when she was secretary of state. Republican Bush and Democrat Clinton are two likely contenders in the 2016 race for the White House.

When Bush released thousands of emails from his tenure as Florida’s governor as part of his preparations to run for president next year, he did so from the email account he shared openly, [e-mail].

Those emails also include references to another email address, [e-mail]. Bush said through a spokeswoman that he was unaware of the account, although records showed that people wrote to him there more than 400 times between 1999 and 2004.

1. Someone on C Span said Jeb's public email account showed two emails between 9 am and 1 pm on 911.

As we all recall, President Dimson was in Florida that day and Jeb was not only his brother but the Governor of Florida. Two emails. So.......

3. I'm sorry, I may be dense, but I can't follow where you're going with this.

Really, I'm not trying to be cute with you. I really don't get what you're saying here.

Could you make it a little easier to understand for the thick-of-skull?

[merrily]

4. You don't have a thick skull at all.

Please don't feel you have to put yourself down to ask me for clarification.

My point, and, I believe, the point of the guest on CSpan, was that there was no way on earth that Jeb had released all his official emails or we would surely have seen more emails to the Governor of Florida, host state to the President, between 9 am and 1 pm on 911. That there had to have been another account he was using, even for official purposes.

6. Ok- yes, that makes sense. Thanks

2. I'm not a HRC fan, but...

why isn't there more of an uproar about this? How could he possibly say he was unaware of the account? Damn the Bushs, the whole miserable lot of them.

[merrily]

5. "How could he possibly say he was unaware of the account?"

Ah, the old nature nurture conundrum.

Suffice to say, he's a Bush.

7. Jeb will not be able to use the silly e-mail issue against HRC
