Dec 4, 2016 Kerry Says Would Be Valuable For Trump To Seek Advice Before Calls [

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday it would be valuable for President-elect Donald Trump's transition team to seek State Department recommendations before contacting foreign leaders but that it had yet to do so.

"We have not been contacted before any of these conversations. We have not been requested to provide talking points," Kerry said during a question-and-answer session at a think tank conference.

"I do think there’s a value, obviously on having at least the recommendations, whether you choose to follow them or not is a different issue, but I think it’s valuable to ask people who work the desk, and have worked it for a long period of time, their input on what’s the current state, is there some particular issue at the moment," Kerry added.

Three questions for Kerry:

1. Did Obama speak with foreign leaders between the date of his election and his inauguration?

2. Did he seek the advice or consent of George W. Bush for these contacts?

3. And what, if anything, did you, John Kerry, say to the press about that?

No, I’m sorry, waving your money is not an answer.

No further questions.

John F’n Kerry giving advice to President-elect Trump. You simply cannot make this stuff up. This guy makes the late Rodney King look brilliant.

Talking points from an idiot .... really? Would be better off requesting “talking points” from a trained mute monkey!

I would talk to Kerry to get an idea of who are the moles left behind in the career positions at State.

LOL....why in the world would Pres Elect Donald J Trump take valuable time from organizing his cabinet to consult with a pathetic failure such as John F’n Kerry? Democrats must think they are still relevant.

Kerry wouldn't have the foggiest idea. He probably doesn't have any involvement in the day-to-day running of the State Department.

Kerry hasn’t figured out that he’s irrelevant.

Dear John Kerry,

You are a traitorous, pompous gigolo and totally irrelevant to the functioning of the American republic.

Deal with it.

Goodby.

Talking points ? TALKING POINTS ??? Is he serious? John Kerry awaits a call from Team Trump on policy, procedure and how to talk to people from other countries.

Psssttt...John. Your turn is finished. The other team won’t be using your talking points.
