Emails show Bloomberg wants to be Clinton's secretary of state
Secretary of State Bloomberg? It’s not unthinkable.
Yes it is.
A confidant of Mike Bloomberg floated to a top Hillary Clinton adviser the idea of giving the former mayor the Cabinet post, according to a batch of e-mails released Saturday by WikiLeaks.

Clinton aide Neera Tanden asked Howard Wolfson -- a current Bloomberg consultant and former deputy mayor -- in a June 3, 2015, e-mail whether the former mayor was seriously considering a run for president.

She then asked what Bloomberg would want to do in a Clinton administration.

Tanden floated an ambassadorship to China but worried it might be "way too small" for the media magnate, her e-mail said.

Wolfson countered with a bigger title: secretary of state, but mused that it "ain’t gonna happen."

But the Clinton camp was dead serious about the exchange and Bloomberg’s ambitions. The entire e-mail chain was forwarded by Tanden to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

She added the note, "Something to know for down the road."

Wolfson backed off his earlier e-mails, telling The Post on Saturday that the only job in politics that interested Bloomberg was the presidency.

"I think Mike made it pretty clear that the job he wanted was the top job," Wolfson said.

Bloomberg thinks Henry Kissinger would make a good choice for secretary of state, Wolfson added.

The three-term mayor has lusted after the White House since 2006 and came closest to launching a bid in January when he asked his advisers to analyze the viability of an independent run.

But Bloomberg backed down two months later, saying in an announcement, "If I entered the race, I could not win."

Clinton reached out to Bloomberg shortly after his decision, according to a March 11, 2016, e-mail from Clinton aide Huma Abedin to Podesta, which WikiLeaks released Saturday.
AG has already been promised to Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix. The thought of Lynch as AG and Bloomberg for State is frightening enough. More frightening would be Bloomberg for AG and head of DOJ. We could expect him to go after the 2nd and sugary drinks.
