Not a single State Department official was included in the White House meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner - who has no regional expertise or diplomatic experience - had a greater role in the meeting than the Senate-confirmed secretary of State.

This doesn't exactly give me any comfort at all.

This is the same Jared Kushner who retained JAMIE GORELICK as his attorney to advise him in matters related to potential conflicts of interest in his White House role.

Swallowing the Trump doesn't know what he is doing rhetoric are we?

There is only one person whose views about excluding the state department count and that is Rex Tillerson. If he thinks the WH is inteferring in his ability to do his job, he will let his displeasure be known and if it continues he will quit. But, as we find out, Trump spends a lot more time talking to his cabinet than people claim he does. The real whining is the lower level minions who are excluded and think they should be included. Like, this 7th floor group that was finally fired.

Agreed. I have mixed views about him. But when I learned Gorelick was his attorney I got that sense of dread...uh oh...

Plus, he may be very smart, even wise in some ways, but he’s young and liberal. We’ll see. Keeping an open mind and a watchful eye.

Hadn’t heard that. If true, the best strategy would be to listen to the “mistress of disaster” and do the opposite thing!

AKA the Mistress of Disaster, and I concur.
