Buying Politicians

Marco Rubio's wife long an unseen presence in his career | Tampa Bay Times:
"Jeanette Rubio has eschewed the Washington scene, staying home in West Miami. In 2011, she got a job with a charity financed by Norman Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. They knew the job would raise questions, and it has as Rubio's close ties to Braman, who has funded his political career and employed him as a lawyer, are exposed.  
Records show Mrs. Rubio was paid at least $54,000 for her part-time job in 2013.
The charity's IRS forms show it gave out only $250 that year despite having assets exceeding $9 million. The charity spent nearly $150,000 in air travel."
