Hillary Clinton for the post of Secretary of State, is only a journalistic guess, and not an information leak.


The often repeated scoop of the choice of Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State, by the President-elect is not at all a scoop. I am sure it is the result of a guessing game. It was two days before that so called scoop I told my wife, that the President elect may select Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State. It is the most easiest of guesses. Of course I had no one else to say that to, therefore it was not a scoop and no body would have said that the information had leaked from the President-elect’s transition team.

Hence it was possible that it had popped into the mind of a journalist and she said that she had got it from a reliable source. No body could then check on it ,and the journalist concerned will get credit for it.

There is also the possibility that it had been done purposely to commit the President-elect, to give him no alternative, but to give Hillary Clinton the coveted Office.

The MSNBC TV journalists, kept repeating over and over again, that it would not be correct not to offer the post to Hillary Clinton after the leak of the information, as she had already been left out from the list of persons considered for the office of the Vice Pres
