He himself, he himself said the e-mails were bad, they confirm what we knew. You know there needs to be accountability and we need to focus on electing Hillary Clinton and defeating Donald Trump.”
Some of the revelations from the DNC email leak appear to show that prominent donors and fundraisers would receive appointments to various federal boards and commissions.
