If the 2016 election is remembered for anything...it will be...the Democratic email dump...
These emails provide...unfiltered evidence of what top politicians do and think... For years, Democrats have steadfastly portrayed Republicans as elitist fat cats who buy elections, as backroom bosses who rig the laws in their favor, as brass-knuckle lobbyists and operators who get special access.

Matthew Barzun, who drummed up $3.5 million for Mr. Obama’s first campaign, was named ambassador to Sweden and then ambassador to the United Kingdom... The second largest...was named the head of the Federal Communications Commission. The third largest...was named undersecretary of commerce...
a May 18, 2016, email from an outside lawyer to DNC staffers...suggests a call to “go over our process for handling donations from donors who have given us pay to play letters.” Add this to what the...emails have shown to be a massive pay-to-play operation at the Clinton Foundation, in which megadonors like the crown prince of Bahrain got special access...
