Even if true, this is meaningless. Ambassadors since time immemorial gain their position through campaigning or financial support of a presidential candidate.

There's not one out there who didn't buy their position.

Glad SeeBS took some time off from firing innocent staffers because ABC asked them to...

So President Trump is guilt of doing exactly what every other president did. And for which the President has full authority to do.

Straws. It’s what they are grasping at for dinner.

American “news” is an insult to journalism, integrity, honesty and civil society. They are the enemy of this country. It is sad that there are so many emotion-driven, unable-=to-discriminate lies from facts losers roaming around this country listening to and agreeing with these seditious degenerates.

Its called flailing. This is an open ended clown show. They will run everything at him up until election day.

They are running the 2020 campaign out of the HOR on the taxpayers dime.

I hate the search function on this site...

I searched three different ways and nothing came up.

To search:

Get your cursor in the search window.

Backspace to get rid of the asterisk

On the button that says “Keywords,” click the down arrow. Replace Keywords with Titles

Type in any words that are in the title of the article. When I searched I typed in “pay-to-play” then click on Search.

I wish it was more straightforward. I hope this helps.

I thought that just about all Ambassador positions were political appointments based on either money contributed or political service to the President's political party and campaign.

This is “news?” Oh, someone is searching for something that looks like quid pro quo. Now I understand. Schiff couldn't find it so the media has to create it.

Meanwhile, Obama fired ALL of the ambassadors appointed by George W. Bush.

Obama appointed that nitwit Caroline Kennedy to be ambassador to Japan. She could barely speak English, much less Japanese.

I’m sure Bill Clinton appointed big money donors, too. Not a peep from the media.

I think that drop down box should default to Titles.

“I think that drop down box should default to Titles.”

I agree. I also think the asterisk should be ditched. I suspect I’m not searching as it was intended, but I played with it until I found something that worked for me.

Odd...CBS News has yet to make any connections like this to S.O.S. Hillary and the Clinton Foundation.

After the pay-to-play schemes by the Clintons in Haiti and other countries, suddenly the “media” has gotten religion on the subject.
