A State Department spokesman on Friday said that a Hillary Clinton donor’s appointment to a top secret federal advisory board despite having no experience with its activities is “not unusual” because he represented “a broad range of views.”
ABC News reported earlier on Friday that in 2011, Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills directed career diplomats to appoint Rajiv Fernando, a high-frequency stock trader from Chicago, to the International Security Advisory Board (ISAB).
Mills’ move — which was likely okayed by Clinton — surprised the career staffers, according to emails obtained by the legal advocacy group Citizens United. Fernando had no previous experience with the board’s mission, which involves providing independent insight and advice on international security matters, including top secret nuclear weapons issues.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Theynare right.
Nepotism and quid pro quo is hardly unusual in todays government.
Criminals all. At all levels down to the bottom. We have a criminal government...an arrogant one at that.
Oh those TIGHT pants! Wa-Hooo!
Thanks for putting a funny face on this. If I didn’t laugh these days I’d either be shootin’ or hanging from a rope in the hay mow! :)
Then, perhaps, there is something wrong with the entire US State Department?
This type of crap is what The Donald has been decrying all along. It plays right into his hands and the excuse that “it’s not unusual” makes his case for him. It SHOULD be unusual. In fact, it should be non-existent.
It would just be unusual for anyone else in the US, Just not Hillary.......
“Appointment Of Donor To Top Secret Advisory Panel Was ‘Not Unusual’”
THAT’S THE PROBLEM HILLARY!!!!!!
You’re FIRED!
Not unusual for her.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
The Media, Wall Street, and the GOPe are behind Hillary all the way to the White House! And baby, that’s not unusual!!
So it is not unusual for a government agency to hire someone for an important assignment when they have no prior experience for the position ? And you wonder why you are 20 trillion in debt ?
FIFY -
“Appointment Of Donor To Top Secret Advisory Panel Was ‘Not Unusual’”
That’s a YUGE problem!
Wake up America - tell Hillary - “You’re FIRED!!”
Now it’s 140 characters, ready for DJT to tweet.
This was big on the news tonight.
They mention a six figure donation to the Clinton Foundation and a $30k donation.
So I suppose this kind of gig costs anywhere from $130,000 to $1,030,000.
I really think it’s closer to the low end of that range. I remember they had Blagojevich on tape expecting to make $500k for the Senate appointment back in 2009 (finish out Obama’s term for two years and presumably keep the job as you’d be nominally a Democrat). I remember at the time that the money involved seemed to be a relatively small amount to me. I think these gigs go cheap.
If I hear another Colon Bowel did it, I could scream....
Experience? I don’t require no stinking experience...he gave me money......besides, hire folks with experience and they know more than me.
Well then the question for the Enemy of the State Dept. Why was he off the Panel two days after being outed? Now that is what is really unusual. The FBI should he all over the State Dept as well, nothing but a cauldron of leftist liars. Hey Admiral Kirby, are you proud of that lot you threw in with?
