Hillary Clinton's coterie of 'attack dog' aides has Obama's team worried
the Sunday Telegraph ^ | 06 Dec 2008 | Tim Shipman

Hillary Clinton is hiring some of her most aggressive aides to watch her back when she becomes Secretary of State, sparking concerns among allies of President-Elect Barack Obama that the primary election season's partisan aggression will carry into government.

The former first lady has indicated that she wants to rebuild "Hillaryland", her coterie of controlling, defensive and at times paranoid circle of admirers and supporters at the heart of US diplomacy.

Three members of Mrs Clinton's inner circle have already been told they will get top State Department jobs ...

Maggie Williams, Mrs Clinton's longtime confidante, who was called in to overhaul her dysfunctional presidential campaign, compared by some to a circular firing squad...

Other advisers will include Cheryl Mills, the no-nonsense Clinton impeachment lawyer...

Philippe Reines, her Senate press secretary ... who has been described by journalists as "power hungry" and "highly controlling", had one reporter suspended after he made a disparaging remark about Miss Clinton during the campaign.

Huma Abedin, Mrs Clinton's ferociously loyal traveling aide during the campaign...

Mr Obama, who gave Mrs Clinton carte blanche to pick her own staff...

Number four.

Right after the Veep, Speaker, and President pro tempore of the senate.

Ever see a hilarious old Brit movie with Alec Guinness playing 13 or so different roles called “Kind Hearts and Coronets”?

I, Claudius was fun to read and to watch, but terrible to live through. Some future Shakespeare is going to have fun with this administration and the Clinton regime as well.

Team Obama is astonished that, after asking for the ability to pick her own staff, Hillary actually picked her own staff? And that it’s the same staff she already had? What, they thought she was going to hold auditions? These people really are clueless.

Who is going to watch her husband Bill? Hillary did not even know her husband had sex with that woman, when she was the smartest woman on earth. Did she know what really happened to Vince Foster or whether Paula Jones and Anita Broderick were telling the truth? Something is very weird about Hillary being appointed Sec. of State. Where are her qualifications?

Lanny Davis already has an editorial spot on the relatively conservative The Washington Times and he face appears on Fox News and elsewhere. FNC, MSNBC, and especially CNN have Hillary supporters in place.

Hillary has to be one of the most overrated politicians. Her lying indicates stupidity, arrogance, and a sociopathic personality. She has given rambling nonanswers to questions. And what has she ever accomplished? Her experience is minimal. Her facial expressions and cackling indicated mental instability. Then there are her scandals - large numbers of them with MSM covering up for her or dismissing them.

>>>Maggie Williams, oo onspirator in the Vine Foster matter. <<<

Wasn't Maggie the one who found the Clinton's Rose Law Firm billing records sitting on a desk in an unused office after a 3 year search for them??

I think Maggie is the "Coverup Queen".

>>>...while the Clintons are already mounting a coup from the State Department.<<<

The coup by leftover Clinton cronies from the State Department and the CIA against George W. Bush was very successful.

They are still there for the most part.....no reason they can't undermine DUH 1 in pretty short order.

Read Ken Timmerman's "Shadow Warriors" for a great documentary of the Clintonistas sabotaging the Bush administration after 911.

For some reason I can't help but think the relationship between Hillary and that gal may be reminscent of the "Devil wears Prada" movie I watched with the mrs. Meryl Streep was quite the B in that movie.

The former first lady has indicated that she wants to rebuild “Hillaryland”, her coterie of controlling, defensive and at times paranoid circle of admirers and supporters at the heart of US diplomacy. >>>>>>>>>>>>

She was wrong in doing that before. Now she is right. Hillery does not want to end up in a plane crash like former Sec. Commerce Ron Brown. Ron was reputed to also have a .45 cal bullet hole in the top of his head BEFORE the crash.

http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/CRASH/BROWN/brown.html

So Hillery knows that payback may be on the agenda of some political factions within the Dem party, and has to secure herself.

We have invited HUGE negative consequences by electing Obama, and this is but one of them. This dynamic will go on for a long time, and the Clintons started it.Obama is in the style of the Clintons, only much, much worse.Obamas historical records have been completely destroyed, obfuscated,and sealed, all the way from Indonesia, to Kenya and inside of the State of Hawaii and New York State.This is a measure of how he will govern.

Hillery is much the same, only with less power.Hillery actually may not survive her portfolio for long, especially if she travels a lot.

Wasn't there something during the primary campaign about State Dept. Passport records being compromised?
That was just a weird coincidence. ;')

Hillary may have BHO's birth certificate and his Indonesian passport ?
She may. I think though, that "may" isn't strong enough a term.

Thanks george76 and BIGLOOK.

NO! Maggie Williams did NOT find the papers in the White House! Another friend from Arkansas...a red haired lady did. Maggie Williams is a SNAKE who cleaned out Vince Foster’s office after his AREKANCIDE.

What, no job for James Carville? I thought of him first when I saw the words “attack dogs” in the thread title.
