“According to his online profile, Mr. Djerassi was chief of staff and special assistant in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, covering U.S. relations with Arab states, Israel, and Iran from 2009 to 2012.
“Secretary Clinton gave Alex a job in one of the most sensitive areas of Obama’s executive apparatus,” a source said.
“The fact Alex Djerassi, fresh out of college, was put in charge of the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, covering the Middle East, was an interesting move.
“He worked directly on the Arab Spring, and Hillary sent Alex as the US representative to the expatriate rebel groups Friends of Libya and Friends of the Syrian People. His was given special treatment.”
“Oh, and between gigs keep an eye on your aunt and my husband”
Is there any evidence this guy was part of or knew what was going on? Are we liberals now?
Hillary probably got an offer that she couldn’t refuse.
AND........do not forget, people......Hillary could not have hired him
......and placed him in a privileged titled job that was a resume enhancer ...... without Obama’s OK.
Special Assistant... sometimes that title is used for people fired overseas and returned to state so they can sit behind a desk and draw a paycheck. I had personal experience with one of my former supervisors at State getting relieved and returned to IRM. Had I not been an Inspector General and EEO in the Army before going to State I am sure that asshat might have screwed me instead. In this instance, hiring someone out of college for a high level position is unheard of because FS2s and FS1s are lined up for these coveted positions. People hired out of college are usually FS5 for FS6 or even FS7.
I’m sure this was discussed at Chelsea’s wedding, where GM was a guest.
