Leaked DNC Documents Show Plans To Reward Big Donors With Federal Appointments
By Chuck Ross
Democratic National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show party officials planning which donors and prominent fundraisers to provide with appointments to federal boards and commissions.
The documents, which were circulated among top DNC officials in April, could raise legal questions for the party, says Ken Boehm, the chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
“The disclosed DNC emails sure look like the potential Clinton Administration has intertwined the appointments to federal government boards and commissions with the political and fund raising operations of the Democratic Party,” Boehm told The Daily Caller.
“That is unethical, if not illegal.”
The records, which WikiLeaks released along with nearly 20,000 hacked DNC emails and other documents on Friday, also expose one of the Beltway’s worst kept secrets: that wealthy politicos can often buy their way to presidential appointments.
President Obama has been criticized for appointing dozens of top fundraisers — called “bundlers” in the political fundraising realm — to ambassadorships and other cushy federal positions.
The spreadsheet — which was accompanied by emails sent between officials with the DNC’s finance team — contains 23 names of little-known corporate executives and professional fundraisers who have donated to the committee and various Democratic political action committees.
The proposed appointments also provide more evidence that the DNC favored Clinton over her former primary challenger, Bernie Sanders.
Most of the donors listed on the spreadsheet have given to Clinton’s campaign. None gave to Sanders.
DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to resign on Sunday because of the anti-Sanders bias that showed up in documents released by WikiLeaks.

Hillary is a known criminal, but what does it matter.
Where’s the email? You should have included a link.
need to make public the e-mails so the public can see what a crooked Hilary is before they go to vote!! they need to see the true bitch and not the one that feeds them lies to make herself look good!!!
From what I have read, there is an october surprise!!
Where do I find the link to the surprise?
I SURE HOPE SO AND I CAN’T WAITE !
is this pay to play?
YES, ABSOLUTELY !
I’m for one am most interested in seeing these emails openly publicized. The level of creditability when simply writing about it without showing the American people such email, adds to diminishing creditability, even though I’m more than certain that such emails do exist. I think that people in this nation have a right to know. So, can someone please release a few of these emails so that the American people, both Democract and Republican alike can verify, what in the minds of millions, already know the corruption that does exist within the DNC. We all know that Hillary Cliton will go to any length to lie, cheat, steal, and God knows what else, to win an election. Isn’t obvious to us all how she managed to get this far in politics? She rigged the system to acquire what was never rightfully her’s to began with…But, that’s the Clinton’s for you. If they cannot do it one way, they sure as hell will find another way, even if it meant destroying others along the way…
