Ex-State aide recalls Hillary’s ‘sloppy communications’ with staff
New York Post ^ | 27 May 2016 | Bob Fredericks

A former military adviser who worked for Hillary Clinton at the State Department says her “sloppy communications with her senior staff” could have undermined two counterterrorism operations.

Bill Johnson, the department’s adviser to the special operations section of the US Pacific Command in 2010 and 2011, told Newsweek that secret plans to kill the head of a Filipino jihadi group and stop Chinese armaments being smuggled into Iraq both failed.

“I had several missions that went inexplicably wrong, with the targets one step ahead of us,” said Johnson, who worked in Air Force special ops for more than 25 years before joining the State Department in 1999.

He said investigations narrowed down the source of potential leaks to Clinton’s and her aides’ use of unprotected phones — although he admitted he had no solid proof.

In the Philippines, his team targeted Umbra Jumdail, founder of the Abu Sayyaf jihadist group.

“We had good intel. We knew where he was,” Johnson said. “He would be gone three hours before, sometimes as little as a half-hour before. We knew he was getting tipped off somehow.”

She despises people so I don’t doubt her communication skills are lacking. She’s also not a hard worker.

Clinton, like Obama, considers being near the top or at the head of the U.S. Government as nothing more than a joke. They only want the job for the big bucks, power over others and to be trash-talking, America-destroying rock stars on late night TV. FUHRC!

Here it comes...the anonymous release of information that was read in Beijing or Moscow.

Stick a fork in Hillary. Her ego is the end of her.

There's a Federal gallows waiting for this witch.

There is an unwritten rule among women...you can tell how a person keeps her home just by looking at her...

You look at the Butcher of Benghazi and you can see wrinkled, unkept, dirty, blah, smelly, her make up, her hair, her fingernails, the clothes she wears and how they look on her...

She’s a slob...now look at Melania...make up; hair; clothes; fingernails; she is clean and neat and tidy....

So I guess now they will recycle the Sandy Berger defense - “She was sloppy.”

As I recall, “sloppiness” was the Clintonian excuse for how classified documents wound up in Sandy Burglar’s underwear.

“We don’t need “Sloppy” Hillary.”

Since we’ve already had one Clinton in the White House, would her communication skills make her “sloppy seconds?”

And the FBI files on the table in the now 1/2 white hut.

I think Clinton looks great for a woman her age.
And she is neat and well groomed, nothing sloppy about her at all. I can’t stand her politics but I’m not going to say she looks bad. She was never a great beauty but most women are not.

I really don’t think we should be comparing women on looks in at least in a political context. There is a huge divergence in appearance for all people.

There could be a lot of remarks made about Trump’s looks, he is not the most attractive of men, so I don’t think there is a benefit in ‘going there’.

Sounds like the start of a new variation in the Narrative.
