Jeb Bush calls out Republicans silent on Trump's Russia probe

 By John Bowden - 07/22/17 06:31 PM EDT

Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) on Saturday called out Republicans for not speaking out about the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Speaking at the OZY Fest in New York City on Saturday, the Florida Republican and former opponent to President Trump gave the crowd a series of rules for politics, what he called "Jeb's rules."

The first rule wasn't caught on camera, but Bush's second "rule" spoke directly to the Russia investigation swirling around the Trump administration.

"If your opponent does things that you, your head explodes on, if Barack Obama did something as it's related to Russia, you say 'this is outrageous,' all this stuff, then when your guy does the same thing, have the same passion to be critical," Bush said.

The basic point is right: don't be a hypocrite.

But the specific example?

Did Jeb give the speech in English or Spanish?

I was never much of a Jeb Bush supporter but he is right.  All attempts to call it a nothing burger is nothing less than attempt to cover up.  I have said it before this is going to be a long 4 years of one problem and controversy after another.  We knew it.  Trump doesn't follow the law.  He goes around it and then calls in the lawyers.  One lawsuit after another.  That is how the Trump family roles.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Jeb has revealed himself as a small bitter man.  Never in the course of human events has a man spent so much money in a political primary for such a small number of votes.
