The Navy officer in the picture below got a lot of attention back in May when he accompanied Hillary to a Memorial Day parade in her home town of Chappaqua, NY. Many online questioned whether Hillary had paid an actor to convince voters she had military supporters.
Turns out, that Navy officer is retired Chief Culinary Specialist, Oscar Flores, of the U.S. Navy Reserve, and he seems to have an unusually close relationship with the Clintons. Flores originally served as Bill's White House Chef but has stuck with the Clintons over the years and currently serves as their "Director of Operations" at their home in Chappaqua.
In fact, according to a note from CNBC, the Clinton's are so tight with their chef that back in 2011 then Secretary of State Hillary chartered a G-5 to attend his Navy retirement ceremony in San Diego. Per Hillary's official schedule below, she also brought Bill, Chelsea and her mom, Dorothy Rodham, along for the ride...the extra seats were just going to be wasted otherwise...might as well bring the family along to enjoy the lovely San Diego weather.
According to the official Navy press release, Hillary described Flores as the "Mayor of Chappaqua because a simple trip to the grocery store or to the post office turns into a three hour town hall meeting. Everybody wants to talk to Oscar." So cute.
Given the critical nature of his service to the Clintons, we probably shouldn't be surprised that Hillary would charter a $90,000 private jet, at taxpayer expense, to attend his retirement ceremony.
We know what you're thinking...she must have had some other official business in San Diego, aside from a retirement ceremony of her former chef, that required her presence, right? Well apparently not. Per her schedule below there are a couple of "FYIs" but no official meetings outside of Flores' retirement gathering...just a lot of free time to enjoy the beautiful Estancia Hotel in La Jolla and the 68 degree weather...the type of living that would impress even the wealthiest of NY hedge fund billionaires.
The Clintons “loathe” (Bill’s word) the American military.
Too politicians abuse the public treasury. I hope that God severely judges them one day for their theft and abuses.
Off with her head..guillotines
He's not a Navy officer. His uniform is that of a chief petty officer (E-7). And yes, his uniform and cap are not worn to regulation.
My uncle a CPO from WWII is probably still rolling over in his grave.
After retirement, can an enlisted man even wear his “”uniform” for political purposes at a political rally?
he’s a fake- no military man would be caught dead in a uniform like that.
His medals are plastered all together like christmas tree ornaments, he does not know how to wear his hate (cover), among other things wrong with him...
Did any one ever identifiy him yet?
That's the same reasoning the Obama tribe has. Hey, those extra planes are just sitting around so Michelle gets her own plane and the basketballs get their own plane.
Compare that to Trump snacking on his Jet (that he pays for) between two rallies.
Note that Doug Band from the Clinton Foundation was aboard as well.
Thanks. I was wondering why they were calling a Navy Officer "chief"
Why was one of her physicians, Gigi El-Bayoumi, on board, (if I’m reading correctly) April, 2011.
FLASHBACK:
Hillary Clinton’s blood clot in her skull, doctors say
December 31, 2012
“In all other aspects of her recovery, the secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery,” her physicians, Lisa Bardack of the Mount Kisco Medical Group and Gigi El-Bayoumi of George Washington University, said in the statement.
WaPo blocks me, says I’ve read all of the free articles available and must now pay :(
Funny, since I only RARELY click on their link, from FR links....every once in a while.
FReepmail.
I noticed that Bildo got a female naval greeter, Ensign Sophi Kim.

FReepmail back :)
Head trauma can cause blood in a venous sinus to clot, but it almost always has to be severe enough to cause a skull fracture, said Aaron S. Dumont, director of cerebrovascular surgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.
“It’s probably a coincidence,” he said of Clinton’s fainting spell and the clot. He noted, however, that her history of a blood clot in the leg may indicate a predisposition to clotting.

Agreed.
He looks like a 3rd World wanna be Dictator.
Certainly not someone that respects our Armed forces.
For appropriate occasions, usually official or military occasions or ceremonies. I don’t know what Hillary was yapping about or to who. If to a military crowd, appropriate. If not, I didn’t stay to retire, so not my call. But he shouldn’t look like a clown.
