| Report: Biden to Name Russia Hoaxer, CNN Analyst Tony Blinken Secretary of State |
| 2020-11-23 |
| Former Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly set to announce this week that Tony Blinken, who supported the idea of "Russia collusion," would be his Secretary of State. Bloomberg News reported Sunday evening: President-elect Joe Biden intends to name his longtime adviser Antony Blinken as secretary of State, according to three people familiar with the matter, setting out to assemble his cabinet even before Donald Trump concedes defeat. Blinken, who served as deputy secretary of state and deputy national security advisor under President Barack Obama, has also been a New York Times opinion writer and a "global affairs analyst" for CNN. In that capacity, he supported the "Russia collusion" hoax. As Breitbart News reported in 2017, Blinken told CNN: "The president’s ongoing collusion with Russia’s plans is really striking, intentional or not." He said that Russia had sown doubt about American elections and institutions. (Subsequently, an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of any collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.) Blinken also apologized earlier this year to left-wing anti-Israel radical Linda Sarsour, regarded by many critics (even on the left) as an antisemite, after the Biden campaign tried to distance itself from her views. He is also married to Evan Ryan, a former aide to then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. Ryan worked for Clinton at a time when Clinton’s chief of staff, Margaret Williams, acknowledged accepting a campaign donation from entrepreneur Johnny Chien Chuen Chung. |

| #3 So Harris, Blinken & Biden... the new Winking, Blinking and Nod. If you're not familiar with the term "winking" check with the urban dictionary... (not safe for TW) |

| #2 In 2017, Blinken co-founded WestExec Advisors, a "political strategy firm" which also helps clients expand market access in China "while safeguarding against trade tensions between the U.S. and China." (Think Air-America without airplanes). *Generally sourced from Wiki data. Nice John Brennan -Deep State pick. Blinken will now be getting two USG checks. One reportable income, the other, not so much. China should be well pleased. |

| #1 Talk about a Swamp Creature.... I thought Susan Rice was a more likely pick. Maybe DepSec for her. |
