Angel Barrios
was arrested along with Rubio in 1990
While the court file was destroyed
Between May 2005 and August 2007, when Rubio was first speaker-designate and then speaker of the House, the Republican Party of Florida paid Luntz’s consulting companies a total of $345,451, according to Florida Division of Elections filings. That was the period when Luntz helped Rubio produce his “100 Innovative Ideas” project, which included a book of policy proposals that Rubio pushed during his two years in charge of the state House.

In 2007, Luntz
praised Rubio’s 100 Ideas project in a Washington Post op-ed, writing that
it brought forward “the principles of good government and political accountability.”
That article also failed to mention his role in the book’s production and
promotion—a project that boosted Rubio’s name around the state, laying
the groundwork for his successful U.S. Senate run in 2010.
Rubio is “a
man in a hurry, not bothering to pause at any level to actually accomplish
something before he grabs for the next level up. In that respect, at least, he
really is like Obama. His disastrous Gang of 8 amnesty effort can be seen in
this light — it was a potential ticket to national office for Rubio. At least
that’s undoubtedly what he thought, and what the lobbyists and donors told
him.”
