In new Web ad Jeb Bush attacks Hillary Clinton on (his) transparency vs. (her) secrecy

Screen Shot 2015-08-27 at 10.31.27 AM

The conventional wisdom among some political observers is that whatever is happening this summer in U.S. politics, next year’s presidential contest will inevitably come down to a Jeb v. Hillary contest.

Whether that will happen will be known soon enough.

In the interim, Jeb Bush‘s campaign team continues to look past Donald Trump and aim their energy at Hillary Clinton in a new Web ad released Thursday morning called Transparency vs. Secrecy.

In it, the Bush team uses cable and broadcast news footage of anchors and commentators contrasting Bush’s accessibility vs. Clinton’s “secrecy issues,” certainly as it pertains to the ongoing controversy – and now investigation – of the email she sent and received through her own email account and server.

Footage shows Bush at the Iowa state fair giving his email address – [email protected] – and showing reporters  Al Hunt of The Wall Street Journal and Michael Crowley at POLITICO praising Bush’s accessibility, with other commentators taking Clinton to task for a lack of transparency.

    You’ve got to be kidding? The Miami Hearld already established that his claim that he released all of his e-mails was false. He only released a portion of those from his Jeb@ Jeb.org account.
