Hillary Clinton is to be the new chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast (QUB).
She is the university's 11th chancellor and first woman to take up the post.
In a statement, Mrs Clinton said it was a "great privilege" to become the chancellor of QUB.
She takes up her role immediately and will serve for a period of five years.
Mrs Clinton succeeds Dr Tom Moran - who died last year.
While the role of chancellor is mainly a ceremonial one, securing Mrs Clinton will be seen as a coup for Queen's.
The chancellor often presides at graduation ceremonies and is also an ambassador for the university abroad.

It would be great if they had her locked in a room with other clowns for five years discussing the future of “Queens”...

This is a mob-style no show job. She won’t spend 5 days a year on campus. She’ll just collect a paycheck in exchange for a title that makes her look relevant.

They’re probably wondering what they did wrong to deserve such an honor.

Ceremonial or not, she’s accepted the position and has committed herself to a foreign entity for a 5-year term. If the dems dare to try to sneak her in at a brokered convention, you can bet the Trump people will make plenty of hay about it.

Hopefully she will serve part of her tenure in a US prison. Or is that just wishful thinking??

She applied for the job as “Queen of America” in 2016. She had glorified qualifications, impressive references from elite friends, a glowing personality, a loving family, thousands of dedicated workers, a massive money machine, a specialized character assignation team to handle opponents. She didn’t have to run (or even walk) for the job. She only waited for the coronation. She could start her next campaign for “Queen of the World”.
Something went terribly wrong! A “cowboy” with no political office experience rode into town. He didn’t spend much money. He didn’t seek donations. His message was simply “Make America Great Again”. He wiped out all the other applicants for the job. He plays 3D chess while the swamp creatures are trying to learn checkers.
We are now in the second day of 2020. The Cowboy has proved to be a man of his word. America is great again! The left has been exposed. Their candidates are a weak bunch of crazies. The “Queen” will come to rescue of the party. The swamp critters, celebs and media mob will pull out all the stops. The “Queen” will lose again. America will remain GREAT!

The staff at Queen’s University better not make her mad or she will have a phony dossier made up on that person.

Her first act after her appointment was to change the title of the position from “Chancellor” to “President”.

Whatever George Mitchell may or may not have done elsewhere, in Northern Ireland he is more respected, revered even than almost any other public figure. He’s largely given the credit for the Good Friday Agreement, which ended 30 years of sectarian violence in the province following years of peace talks which Mitchell chaired.

... According to his resumé, Mifsud received his BA at the University of Malta in 1982, an MA at the University of Padua in 1989, and later his doctoral degree at Queens University Belfast. He worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in his home country of Malta and was involved in its 2004 accession into the European Union. In 2008, Mifsud was named president of the European-Mediterranean University of Slovenia.
Contrary to media reports depicting Mifsud as a shadowy figure an Oct. 31 2017 article in the New York Times, for example, says Mifsud presented himself as a professor although his academic affiliations are hard to pin down he was a respected teacher and employed by legitimate academic institutions. He taught at Link Campus University in Rome (photo at top), whose lecturers and professors include senior Western diplomats and intelligence officials from a number of NATO countries, especially Italy and the United Kingdom.
Mifsud also taught at the University of Stirling in Scotland, and the London Academy of Diplomacy, which trained diplomats and government officials, some of them sponsored by the UKs Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the British Council, or by their own governments.
He also taught at the London Center for International Law Practice, where Papadopoulos was also affiliated. They met, however, in Rome in March 2016 when Papadopoulos was part of a visiting delegation from the London Center and Mifsud was in the Italian capital. Most of their subsequent meetings were in London, including the April 26 breakfast when Mifsud is alleged to have told Papadopoulous that the Russians had dirt on Clinton in the form of thousands of emails. ...----- The Maltese Phantom of Russiagate, https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/05/26/the_maltese_phantom_of_russiagate_.html

Queen’s University is the same school from which Russiagate’s Maltese professor, Josef Mifsud, obtained his PhD.

I’ve been wondering if Spygate and/or Epstein figured in this. Doubt it’s just about the money, though.
