https://theintercept.com/2016/05/06/hillary-super-pac-draft-oped/Sad state of affairs. Not only selling your name and influence, but having lobbyist write it for you? These politicians are low lifes who only care about their ambitions, and are willing to sell out the public at the drop of dime. If you want to know who they are, look at the Hillary surrogates. Majority can be found there.
Makes you question the others who's talking points, columns, and speeches were written by lobbyists...

It's OK if you are a Clinton (Supporter).
Anything that would get anyone esle in trouble, is some how magically not unethical, not illegal, not immoral, not reprehensible, when done in the name of HRC.

Not sure what Johnson is doing now, but he has a distinguished career in campaigns for Obama, Reed, John Lewis and more. http://www.gtlaw.com/People/Tharon-L-Johnson

The attached Word document shows a number of revisions through track changes, with multiple Correct the Record staffers providing edits. (The metadata of the document shows that Wessel created the document.)
Wessel emailed Torres and Johnson again later that day, after the piece was posted, to indicate that he was in touch with CNN to make a post-publication fix to an error in the piece. Thank you for all your help, turned out great, Wessel wrote. Well promote throughout the day.
Oh, and he didn't just not sit back and write out a complete article/speech, he sat back and didn't write any of the article/speech .. this was a Hillary campaign team/industry lobbyist effort, they just used his name, his image, and claimed it was him.
Most 'gubmit officials' get their staff to write up their speeches and articles, yes, not campaign teams collaborating with Lobbyists for a an industry the campaign is suppose to be legislating on ... and claiming that they are not being influenced by said lobby.
