Tell me again what are Dr Jill’s foreign diplomacy bona fides?
“Tell me again what are Dr Jill’s foreign diplomacy bona fides?”
Her only angle is that she is not a member of the Biden administration. But here is where Biden and his cronies error. The Department of State, established in 1789 and the highest-ranking Cabinet department, and one individual, the Secretary of State, who is directly responsible to the President, manage foreign affairs. The traditional functions of the State Department and its professional diplomatic corps, the Foreign Service, include: negotiating on behalf of the U.S. government with foreign governments and in international organizations; defending U.S. position in the world; reporting on and analyzing conditions in foreign countries and institutions such as the UN; representing the American people and current U.S. policies to the world; promoting relations with decision makers abroad; advancing U.S. trade and investment; and protecting U.S. nationals overseas from discriminatory and/or inhumane treatment.
So besides not being qualified to do this work, she cannot represent the US in state decisions or actions. And she is doing it with not only the blessings of the POTUS, but accompanied by all the security personnel and transportation paid for by the taxpayers for her to go over and use her influence of a non-political person to make decisions for the US. It was Woodrow Wilson who was determined to “democratize” diplomacy—to do away with “secret deals” arrived at “behind the backs of the people” in favor of “open covenants openly arrived at.” This borders on the edge of sedition which is defined by Black’s Law Dictionary as:
“An insurrectionary movement tending towards treason, but wanting an overt act; attempts made by meetings or speeches, or by publications, to disturb the tranquility of the state.”
