Leaked Docs from State reveal Luntz recommendation
Posted on 01/23/2021 6:47:51 PM PST by SeekAndFind
A leaked document from the U.S. State Department and seen by The National Pulse appears to show former Vice President Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Marc Short recommending Frank Luntz – whose close relationship with Hunter Biden was exposed via the President-Elect’s son’s hard drive – for the role of Under Secretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.
Luntz was recommended for the position, which aims to “lead America’s public diplomacy outreach, which includes messaging to counter terrorism and violent extremism” by Short, whom President Trump viewed as partly responsible for Pence’s certification of electors on January 6th and saw his White House access revoked in response.
Leaked Docs from State reveal Luntz recommendation
The revelations come from a leaked “highly confidential” State Department document, which outlines Short’s rationale for the position was Luntz’s previous work in “PR” and as a “GOP Political Pollster.”
“Support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and [missing] by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and Government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world,” the document adds as the “key issue” for the position.
The recommendation was ill-advised, as Luntz has especially strong ties to the Biden family.
Emails from Hunter Biden’s hard drive – which Luntz infamously downplayed the severity of – reveal Luntz begging the then-Vice President’s son for access.
On October 31st, 2012, Luntz emailed Hunter Biden the following:
Because your dad hasn’t said word one to me since the moment he was nominated for VP. Zero. Zip. Nothing. That’s why. Fair-weather friends get fair-weather treatment. And Beau knows I feel this way. That’s not how I treat anyone in politics or in life. and by the way, I declared your dad the winner of his debate against Paul Ryan even though Ryan is an actual current client.
Hunter Biden responded roughly two hours later, noting he and his brother Beau “loved” him:
I love you… beau loves you— but how can you go on TV and not mention the Jeep ad— just in fairness- moving Jeep to China???? That’s not worth talking about as one of the most outright fabrications ever paid for on television? Again, think you are smarter than anyone in politics…but if you are doing a piece on ads in the last days— leaving that one out is just…
LUNTZ/BIDEN EMAIL.
Luntz has also publicly fawned over Short, tweeting in 2017:

Other recommenders for positions include Newt Gingrich, Senator James Lankford, Rex Tillerson, Stuart Jolly, Jim Carafano, Bridge Colby, and Bill George. Other candidates included Stuart Holiday, John Quelch, Bill Roedy, J.D. Gordon, Edward McFadden, William Ogborn, Brenda Barwick, and Heather Hopkins.
Is this the pollster guy?
I’m surprised anyone is surprised by this. Pence has always been a republican, not a conservative. The way he threw Christians under the bus in his home state should have made that clear.
RE: Is this the pollster guy?
Yes, the one and only. The one with the FOCUS GROUP regularly shown on what used to be the Fox News we knew.
In my memory, he was never good at much.
>> Highly Confidential
What’s below that: Somewhat Confidential ?
I think it’s a general legal term, not one from the US Gov classification system.
Remember the story about the snake that Trump used to tell?
Pence is the snake.
He was the establishment insurance policy.
Luntz aka the Pillsbury Dough Boy, is nothing but a sniveling opportunist. President Trump banned Pence’s chief of staff from the White House.
No surprise here. Pence is the gift that keeps on giving. Team Pence was no doubt the source of many Fake News leaks. Yet still his fan club has loving eyes that will never see.
On October 31st, 2012, Luntz emailed Hunter Biden the following:This is precisely how the Deep State operates. Disgusting.
Because your dad hasn’t said word one to me since the moment he was nominated for VP. Zero. Zip. Nothing. That’s why. Fair-weather friends get fair-weather treatment. And Beau knows I feel this way. That’s not how I treat anyone in politics or in life. and by the way, I declared your dad the winner of his debate against Paul Ryan even though Ryan is an actual current client.
I cannot believe this piece of crap made Trump carry the pro life plank and then ran the other way with the pro death people. What utter garbage.

1. Sent to the National Pulse, not Wikileaks, who actually tries to verify before they release anything and more exposure.
2. Note the two magnifying cirles obstruct the view of the document without them.
If they have the documents, they could just put up without any editing.
3. To be nominated for a public position in governmentt, the nomination process becomes part of the public record.
"Highly Confidential" and "Public Record" do not go together.
