2. I suspect multiple such scenarios of paid-for Ambassadorships who are also operating on the side

One I am certain of - the new US Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft

Meanwhile if I could subpoena one now former Ambassador as a witness to Congress - Jon Huntsman, former Ambassador to Russia - he might not have been operating a side channel - but I bet you he knows of them and its also why he is no longer the Ambassador.

Some other Ambassadors that I would keep an eye on:

Kay Bailey Hutchinson - US Representative to NATO

Trevor Traina - US Ambassador to Austria
Ronald Gidwitz - US Ambassador to Belgium
Carla Sands - US Ambassador to Denmark
David Cornstein - US Ambassador to Hungary
Pete Hoekstra - US Ambassador to Netherlands
Ken Howery - US Ambassador to Sweden
