If Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wins the election, she just might become the first president impeached before taking office!
There’s the email scandal… Benghazi… the email scandal… questions over foreign donors to the family charity… the email scandal… and now, one more shameful scandal is about to blow up.
A new set of documents released by the hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 suggest that both Clinton and President Barack Obama engaged in an unprecedented pay-for-play scheme where top Democratic donors and fundraisers were rewarded with plum diplomatic positions in Clinton’s State Department.
And the Clinton Foundation isn’t even denying it.
It seems prime positions representing the nation to some of our most important allies were door prizes in a high-priced raffle – but in this case, the “raffle” was the 2008 election.
Matthew Barzun, who raised $3.5 million for the Democratic party that year, became ambassador to Sweden in the Clinton State Department, according to an analysis of the leaked documents by The Observer.
More recently, he has been serving as ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Relations with one of our closest allies are in the hands not of a foreign policy expert or a skilled diplomat. Instead, the job was seemingly bought by a guy with a literature degree whose main talent appears to be raising money for the Democratic Party.
What does the CEO of the Clinton Foundation, Donna Shalala, have to say about it?
She confessed; “First of all there is no question there were phone calls made to get appointments for people” by the Clinton State Department, Shalala told MSNBC on Wednesday.
She doesn’t think that’s a big deal. You can see her disgusting defense for yourself:

The hacked documents confirmed analysis from The Guardian newspaper back in 2013, which found roughly a dozen plum posts – including top diplomatic gigs in coveted European countries – going to donors who contributed an average of $1.8 million each.
That makes Bill Facho’s post look like a bargain.
Facho, who served as ambassador to Austria from 2009-13 during the Clinton State Department, contributed “only” $950,718, according to The Washington Times.
The newspaper also notes that ambassadorships in South Africa, Belgium, Luxembourg, and New Zealand all went to top donors who raised an average of $1.5 million.
This wasn’t limited to Clinton’s State Department. It seems the entire Obama Administration was up for auction.
Frank Sanchez, who contributed over $3.4 million, served as undersecretary of Commerce while Julius Genachowski, who donated roughly the same amount, was named chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
MagaFeed has combed through the documents released by the hacker, matching donors to top government posts – including jobs working under Clinton at the State Department.
The list put together by the website include at least 14 ambassadors and a deputy attorney general, all going to political donors.
Don’t expect the pay-to-play business to end when Obama leaves office… because if Clinton is elected, the hacked documents show she fully expects to continue the practice.
The DNC already has a file on donors seeking favors, with one email suggested a telephone meeting “to go over our process for handling donations from donors who have given us pay to play letters.”

Such a corrupt country. It’s on the Boston tv news this morning as to how a large number of folks downtown are waiting in line for a new smart phone. The ancient Romans had bread and circus when they were in decline. We have smartphones and reality shows.
Nelson says
Enough is enough we should not let this woman be in the White House she is a disgrace to our country they should not I repeat should not sell ambassador seats to anyone they must be qualified for that position. What is wrong with our country to have leaders like this running this great country shame on them I hope and pray that God will open the eyes Of the progressive politicians that want to destroy our country and way of life
bre says
I think Killery belongs in jail!
She is to sick to run & has broken Federal laws which disqualify her, if she dies or goes to jail then we will be stuck with the Jihadist-in-Chief until we get the guts to have a Civil War against his Regime! Like in Egypt they overthrew their President!
Let Bernie Sanders run against Trump then we will put Trump in OUR WHITE HOUSE
and he will clean up the whole mess of GRIFTERS that are currently the US Federal Government!!!!!!
Roger Mann says
Hillary Clinton put our entire country and the life of every AMERICAN citizen at risk with her unauthorized illegal email server and I as an AMERICAN taxpayer, demand that she be arrested and prosecuted for her crimes against AMERICA and the AMERICAN people! There is also the question of six billion dollars that went missing from the State Department when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, something that seems has been swept under the rug! Six billion dollars is as much as 800 average middle class AMERICAN workers earning$100,000.00 a year for 75 years would earn in their lifetimes and our government treats it with no more concern than an average AMERICAN would losing a shirt button! Hillary Clinton owes the AMERICAN taxpayers six billion dollars, it disappeared under her watch and she is responsible for finding it or replacing it with interest! I honestly don’t know how this woman that failed and let four AMERICANS die in Benghazi can even show her face in public or run for President or think that she has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected! They died and she lied and lied and lied!
EMILIANO says
If Obummmma and Hillarious was from the same Color,I would say they are Brother and Sister by there Crimes.They are both Crocks.
EEL RIVER says
there is no crime to big or to small for a Clinton, she would sell her stinkin socks if she could get a buyer. just think, this is just the crimes that she has been caught for, think of how many we don’t even know about!
Rosech says
Hey, they are broke and need money! Sure enough they would sell anyone and any thing for bucks, and I would not even doubt that could include Chelsea’s children because this couple have no morals, ethics, values, or anything else a normal human being would exhibit which places them in places of Stalin, Hitler, several Russian and Roman and more rulers.
Wm Keeney says
Stalin, Hitler, and, ALL other despots of history, are, Sunday School Teachers, compared to this squalid, lying, crow-faced, one foot in the grave, female vermin of mankind !!!!!
Bosch says
They sold their daughter, Chelsea, to the grandson of Soros. Her husband is the GRANDSON OF SOROS, in case you missed it. It’s all in their grand scheme of one world globalization. This country is the last stand for DEMOCRACY, we protect the world. She cannot win or the whole world is in the toilet. It’s a disgrace.
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
I wouldn’t buy a bag or garbage or rotting Limburger cheese from the Clinton’s, selling Diplomatic jobs, that’s insane, stupid,idiotic, dumb,
stupid,ignorant. Shows just how low the Clinton’s are, they are underneath the bottom of the barrel, only hell is lower. That’s a crime right there which should call for prison for the Clinton’s, and those that let them do that.
SW says
Well, that poor brokeazz family. We shouldn’t expect royalty to sell pencils next to an expressway on ramp. It’s like selling tickets for a seat in the theater…….right?? Here’s the show, half empty seen in both congress and house.
John G . says
If it weren’t the Democrats headed up by people of Dingy Harry Reid’s ilk someone as crooked as Hillary the “Hun” Clinton could never become a nominee for the highest office in the land. Democrats, Liberals & Progressives lack all moral’s and have no redeeming social value’s what so ever – they are lower than whale shit.
El Tejas says
Hillary will do anything for a dollar. But if anything goes wrong she will find someone else to blame.
hondo says
Corruption ( cough-cough ) at its finest, brought to you by the most transparent administration in the history of this nation.
Now, why is it that someone, or any group of people who have the authority and knowledge to do so, cannot bring this corruption to trial for true justice?
Surely there are great American patriots somewhere in this land who will not let this country go down without giving their all!
Anyone out there who might be a “Captain America” ?
Ray says
Yes!!! Donald Trump!! Vote Nov. 8 th.
sue west says
HILLARY, BILL AND OBAMA ARE JOINT THIEVES AND LIARS IN ACTION. SHE AND BILL HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE COHORTS AND FRIENDS THAT HELPED HER AND BILL : NOW SHE HAS BODY DOUBLES TO STAND IN FOR HER. NEVER A WORD OF TRUTH FROM ANY OF THEM.
CJ says
They’re all pimping this country out to the highest bidder

This article is a good example of the deplorable state of partisan journalism. It is clear that no one from the Horn News has even looked at the leaked documents. Rather, they rely on “analysis of the leaked documents by The Observer” and “analysis from The Guardian newspaper back in 2013.” Granted, looking at the documents themselves (which may or may not have been altered) requires finding the Guccifer 2.0 related Twitter feeds, accessing the identified websites and entering certain decryption codes. I guess lazy journalists don’t want to go through all those steps.

Marvin B. Cohen says
This is how the Leftist Liberal Democrat politburo operates. One way, this way is for the privileged wealthy willing to trade personal honor and a wade of their cash for political positions OR! See yourself as a minority race or heritage. Then, become a registered Leftist Liberal and go get your minority free shit and benefits. All you have to do is get several different identification cards of dead people and go vote in different precincts on election day. (You will get what? A hundreds extra bucks for the day?) This is the Leftist Liberals at their finest hour!
warren says
The biggest crime is that we as citizens can’t get justice because our FBI,CIA, Justice department as well as the career politicians from the president on down are all involved and refuse to do anything about it. Why would any of them incriminate themselves and end up in jail? The devil has replaced In God we trust. He has the upper hand and filling our country with those who want to kill and behead every Christian in America.

At the age of 70, what can she do with all that money ??? Is it worth it ???? Bad Judgement Too bad a Judgement

Maybe she is trying to get enough to ‘bribe’ St. Peter to let her into the ‘Golden Gate’
Roger Mann says
She is money hungry and will say or do anything to get it, I mean anything!

Not only does the Foundation CEO confirm the smoking gun, but blindly ignorant doesn’t see what’s wrong with confirming fact big donations bought the donner personal job interview and priority consideration by Sec. of State, all arranged by the Clinton Foundation…in effect shooting Hillary in the back. Gotta love it!
lizaz says
Clinton rarely talks about what she plans to do to help the American people and if she does, it’s strictly in generalities. Most of her speeches now continually criticize and demonize Donald Trump and also his supporters. I’m pretty sick of listening to her as is the rest of my family. Her lying words now fall on deaf ears as the TV is either muted or the channel changed when she appears. We pray every day the Donald Trump will win the election in November and mrs. clinton can go home and spend the rest of her days counting her money. (although I suspect if she loses, many, if not most, countries and organizations/liberals will stop donating to her fantasy “foundation”. They will have nothing to gain….)
Statesman says
Ambassadorships have always been purchased. How do you think John Huntsman Jr. got his ambassadorship to China under Obama. The Huntsman family donated more to the Democrats that year than they did to the GOP knowing Obama would win.
He was an ambassador under GWB to Singapore when Huntsman family donated a bunch to Bush’s campaign.
Roger Mann says
That doesn’t make it right or legal and the people must stop it! Remember the revolution!
Malcolm Proctor says
america you will only have one chance.to save your country.you must vote for mr trump.iff you vote vote for the corrupt cartel off clinton;s and obama.your country will be swallowed up with muslims. you have been warned take heed
Rebecca says
It seems the Democrat party is only preforming as usual.
female tax payor says
Foundation admits it can’t do with a president, what it did with Secretary of State. Obviously an admission it was WRONG. But in same breath saying they will and are severing ties to distance Hillary forward so she can be President, they say Chelsea will remain with Foundation. How insulting to the people! Like Chelsea isn’t in the family? Actually Chelsea stepping down won’t sever Hillary’s or the Clinton’s personal relationships, communications, favoritism, and willingness to do anything in their power for the Clinton Foundation. Nor stop the Foundation from channelling money, donors, tit for tat benefits, etc. back to the Clintons ( one way or another. Where there’s will, there’s a way.) Nothing will stop the president from granting special favors to Foundation members & donors as the Sec of State did except not electing Clinton. Keeping all Foundation ties out of Government positions is only way to keep the Foundation’s foreign and domestic big money, special interest ties from influencing our Governments decisions.
JerryBranson says
This information has to go viral ASAP. ambassadors are to be nominated and approved for such work. We do not need poorly educated, inexperienced people in such positions.
Keith says
democrats are criminals what else would one expect from them. This is what happens when the criminals are running the show…..
Justin W says
I suspect this sort of pay to play nonsense exists in presidential administrations from both parties. Our nation’s problems are due to some extent by the fact we have wealthy idiots in leadership positions rather than competent officeholders. Ambassadorships seem to be the way presidents reward their bigger supporters.
Susan Meyer says
I am at a loss for words. How could other politicians turn their heads on something like this? Completely disgusting and for me, heartbreaking. Hillary, Bill and Obama, among others all need to be sent to jail for the rest of their lies which appears not too long for Hillary and Bill (health). I am sitting here stunned and actually crying to think our beautiful America has stooped this low. And the rest of the politicians sat on their hands. So, that’s makes them guilty by association or more. God Bless America.
lydia says
my feelings exactly Susan! I have been depressed every since this political stuff started and it is getting worse. Sometimes I wonder why I even want to keep living.
Hanko American says
Hey Lydia–Keep living & don’t give up! Being a live American will help uphold our freedom! Live for America to defy scum-lickers like the O’Vomit/Clinton Cartel!!
RON says
WITH ALL THE RADICAL, POLITICAL LAWS BEING PUSHED BY OBAMA AND COMPANY;JUST IMAGINE AN ULTRA LIBERAL SUPREME COURT AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT OUR EVERYDAY WAY OF LIFE. WE ARE TOLD ON ANOTHER SUBJECT THAT OBAMA ENACTED 3000 NEW REGULATIONS ON BUSINESS JUST LAST YEAR. HE. WILL EMPTY THE PRISON TO THE EXTENT THAT HE CAN .LOOK FOR SURPRISES BETWEEN 11 8 AND JAN 20 2017.NO TELLING WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF..
AW says
She should CHOKE on that money and the LIVES she lost in Benghazi!
Constitutionalist says
One thing seems to have been forgotten in the rush to judgment of D’OweBama:
“He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”
It should be clear from the bolded portion above that the Senate bears their share of blame in this sale of ambassadorship, for without their CONSENT, not a ONE of them could have been appointed, much less served in those capacities.
Bill says
Lydia, just be proud your American. Enough is enough, it’s time to clean house and force term limits without golden parachutes. The Clintonista are has beens, along with O. Keep the faith and let’s demand higher standards. Our country is in a bad way and the criminals need to be tried for treason.
