#5 Make Hillary ambassador

OMG, NO!

She can carry someone else's luggage into that war zone because she has, like, experience with snipers and all that. No security, either.

Plus, that may be all she's capable of doing at this point.

As long as it's not my luggage, that is.

#6 My source* inside the Death Star says the Tillerson transition (w/Diplomatic Security) is going well. Down to earth guys who gets the security thing. Personable sit down with a cuppa joe and discuss things kinda guy. Not too impressed with himself. Hopefully a breath of fresh air at Foggy Bottom. Kerry wasn't a bad guy - real nice to his detail. Rantburg decorum prohibits me from accurately describing my feeling towards HRC.

Source - extensive vetting, routinely responds to tasking, and whose reporting has been corroborated over a number of years.

#7 Sounds good Bangkok. True top level execs establish an org and don't mingle with just anyone. They have their division heads who then work through rank and file.

State should become a smooth org once this Exxon man gets it put into place.
