Surfaced in Tuesday's dump of purported Democratic National Committee documents by the hacker Guccifer 2.0 is a detailed list of well-heeled donors and the political positions they received.
One list shows 57 donors and the monies raised and/or donated to the DNC and the Organized for Action (OFA) group, a community organization for the policies of President Barack Obama.
The list shows the donations as of Nov. 28, 2008 — weeks after Obama was elected to his first term.
According to the list, these are the top 3 donors and the positions they were granted by Obama:
- Matthew Barzun: $3.5 million, Ambassador to the UK;
- Julius Genachowski: Nearly $3.5 million, Chairman FCC;
- Frank Sanchez: $3.4 million, Under Secretary of Commerce.
The lowest donor to receive a pay-to-play position, No. 53 on the list, was Bill Eacho ($950K), the Ambassador to Austria from 2009 to 2013.
Or, perhaps, the docs are fake, as the DNC on Tuesday tried to imply.
"The DNC is the victim of a crime — an illegal cyberattack by Russian state-sponsored agents who seek to harm the Democratic Party and progressive groups in an effort to influence the presidential election," interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile said in a statement Tuesday, reports USA Today.
"Our legal team is now in the process of reviewing these private documents, and attempting to confirm their authenticity, as it is common for Russian hackers to forge documents."
Guccifer's last dump, the week of the Democratic National Convention, led to the resignation of then DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
