Oh, WikiLeaks … what can’t you do?

Here’s the latest from Politico’s Ken Vogel (see the attachment here) who just posted this link to a hacked memo on a 2012 Clinton Global Initiative event on education where Rex Tillerson, Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, was under consideration as a panelist:

In hacked memo, the Clintons privately praised Tillerson's education advocacy, considered him for @ClintonGlobal. https://t.co/sqGK2gC4vr pic.twitter.com/RkGHOQ7LgH

Tillerson is no stranger to the CGI and headlined a 2009 program on supporting the economic advancement of women and girls. From ExxonMobil:

The program, called Technologies to Improve Women’s Economic Livelihoods,will help identify and deploy technologies and innovations that can improve quality of life and enable women to participate more fully in income-generating activities. The program is part of ExxonMobil’s Women’s Economic Opportunity Initiative (previously Educating Women and Girls Initiative), which was launched in 2005 and has invested more than $20 million in programs that have involved women from 64 developing countries.

“As a global technology company, ExxonMobil can make a lasting contribution by helping to identify and deploy new technologies to improve and strengthen the economic livelihoods of women,” said Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer. “This focus area is consistent with our own belief and experience that technology and innovation are critical to addressing many of the world’s major challenges.”

ExxonMobil’s new initiative was announced by former President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative’s annual meeting in New York. ExxonMobil is co-sponsoring the first-ever CGI special programming focused on investing in girls and women. Tillerson participated as a panelist during a plenary session “Investing in Girls and Women.”
