Old and busted: Most transparent administration ever! New hotness: The system is rigged, and not just in the Democratic primaries. The campaign-finance watchdog site Open Secrets reports that DNC e-mails published by Wikileaks show DNC officials apparently coordinating with the Obama administration to reward donors with appointments to boards and commissions:
Email exchanges involving top officials at theDemocratic National Committee released along with private documents by WikiLeaks show that DNC officials hoped to reward top donors and insiders with appointments to federal boards and commissions in coordination with the White House.
The revelations give an inside look into how the Democratic Party attempted to leverage its access and influence with the White House to bring in cash.

I don’t think we can make a conclusion on their intent. /s
Gotta give action to get action, they say. Appointees have always been brainless sycophants pulling six figures. Bad behavior is not only alright, it is rewarded.
Scroll down to the middle - if a donation came in with a 'Pay to Play' letter, it got special handling ...
Someone needs to go to prison...............
careful... or you just might.
Only if you are a Republican. I thought you knew this already. Sheesh.
No REASONABLE prosecutor would recommend an indictment or any prosecution./Comey
Who gets to be ambassador to Libya?
Wasn’t there an investigation of “Pay to Play” some years back?
How is this any different?
LOL!
