Clinton may be reading them the riot act because for years(whether run by democrat or republican administrations) the department of State has always done their own little thing with departments acting like their own little caliphates regardless of what the SOS would like them to do. The Ambassadors themselves in many cases are pursuing contrary directions to that of the US instead of representing the best interests of the US! Hence for years the US has been hamstrung in foreign policy by these weasels in the foreign service and presidents, both Dem and Repubs have been partially blinded! That needs to stop!

I doubt that because 99% of the time “their own little thing” has been the thing(s) Hillary, her old man and her current boss would most likely agree with.

Surely You are giving Thunderthighs much too much Credit!

The Ambassdors are not independent agents who are untethered from Washington. They are told for the most part what to say and do by Washington. If they go off the reservation, they are removed. They are the President's personal representatives. I say that advisedly having served 28 years in the State Department as a foreign service officer.
