The State Department’s entire Senior Management Team just Resigned
Wash Post ^ | 1-26-2017 | Josh Rogan

Posted on 01/26/2017 8:44:26 AM PST by tcrlaf

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s job running the State Department just got considerably more difficult. The entire senior level of management officials resigned Wednesday, part of an ongoing mass exodus of senior foreign service officers who don’t want to stick around for the Trump era.

Tillerson was actually inside the State Department’s headquarters in Foggy Bottom on Wednesday, taking meetings and getting the lay of the land. I reported Wednesday morning that the Trump team was narrowing its search for his No. 2, and that it was looking to replace the State Department’s long-serving undersecretary for management, Patrick Kennedy.

Kennedy, who has been in that job for nine years, was actively involved in the transition and was angling to keep that job under Tillerson, three State Department officials told me.

Then suddenly on Wednesday afternoon, Kennedy and three of his top officials resigned unexpectedly, four State Department officials confirmed. Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond and Ambassador Gentry O. Smith, director of the Office of Foreign Missions, followed him out the door. All are career foreign service officers who have served under both Republican and Democratic administrations.

And of course the media makes this out to be a “bad” thing. That makes it good. The more Obama crones leave, the better.

ITEM--Longtime Clinton family crony and Secy Hill's top aide (tax-paid US govt employee, Cheryl Mills' ran a side business. "BlackIvy Investments," is developing a privately-financed dry port that will be located 56 km outside of the Port of Dar es Salaam, and will use shuttle trains to take transit and upcountry cargo to and from the Port.

So how did BlackIvy, a brand new firm with no discernible track record of building ports, manage to become an overnight player in the East African energy market?

It turns out Mills had some help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the US invasions. Symbion Power happens to be a very good friend of Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's pal, Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he had numerous paid side interests----promoting any number of foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.....many of which were predicated on the toppling of Libya's Khadaffi.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---chronically emailing Hillary Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's hubby) to help himself to the tax dollars in the State Dept cookie jar.

GAME ON Amb Wilson pumped himself up as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

NOTE Millenium is also the source of the 100 million tax dollars Michele gave to Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" to be held by, and "administered" by the Obama Foundation.

===========================================

FREEPER FEATURE--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxpayers' expense.

Hopefully, security will prevent them from removing anything from the building. There's probably a lot of evidence that they've been hiding and covering up.

No telling what they've done with all the records, since they've had since November 9th to clean up.

ITEM---when Huma exited the State Dept, she was required to signoff on form OF-109....a separation agreement that states she understands when leaving the US government that she is maintaining no classified information. That she understands her legal obligation to protect further classified information and safeguard any potential disclosures......

She apparently signed off on the exit form......could Huma have renewed her security clearance through the subcontractor arrangement after leaving State?

One notorious bureaucratic trick is a pol putting hand-picked employees on the govt payroll, cashing US govt paychecks long after taxpayers think they're gone.

LET'S FIND OUT.I would bet good money that Hillary rewarded Huma, Cheryl, Blumental and the immunity types....putting all these people on the State Dept payroll....prolly as no-show govt contractors. Betcha all of them are still cashing US govt checks. Still receiving classified info. Getting all the tax-paid perks they can dream up.

================================================

Taxpayers demand to know if the "immunity types," and other Clinton cronies are STILL listed as State Dept employees---perhaps as contractors--are still receiving perks and privileges, classified mail and govt paychecks.

Note Brian Pagliano---Hillary's personal IT---left her employ then surfaced on the public payroll as a State Dept contractor.

======================================

ITEM---Taxpayers demand to know who else among the Clinton cronies are cashing US govt paychecks It's an old bureaucratic trick for a politician to hand-pick people and put them on the public payroll long after you think they're gone......perhaps as State Dept "contractors."

<><> Hillary?

<><> Bill Clinton?

<><> Sid Blumenthal?

<><> John Podesta?

They probably started looking for new jobs after Trump won the election. They timed their last day to look like some type of protest.

The entire lot of them need to be locked up and held as material witnesses until the entire $6B that they lost is recovered.
