http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-donor-sensitive-intelligence-board/story?id=39710624Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the departments professional staff.
The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to protect the name of the Secretary, stall the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later.
Copies of dozens of internal emails were provided to ABC News by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act after more the two years of litigation with the government.
A prolific fundraiser for Democratic candidates and contributor to the Clinton Foundation, who later traveled with Bill Clinton on a trip to Africa, Rajiv K. Fernandos only known qualification for a seat on the International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) was his technological know-how. The Chicago securities trader, who specialized in electronic investing, sat alongside an august collection of nuclear scientists, former cabinet secretaries and members of Congress to advise Hillary Clinton on the use of tactical nuclear weapons and on other crucial arms control issue

(34,845 posts)1. Who are the other members of the IAB?
2. Are all of them well-versed in nuclear science or do they represent a wide range of experience?
3. What are their salaries?
So far, all I can find is a list of current members. http://www.state.gov/t/avc/isab/c27632.htm
But it looks like this answers both #1 and #2. The answer to #2 is: yes, they represent a wide range of experience. Which makes the article's declaration that they are all nuclear scientists nonsense.
With that in mind, #3 seems less important.
