#6 Cook, driver, security guard ?

"in charge of the political Islam file," per the article. Sort of a local expert.

That was the original intent of the administration's foreign policy "experts," along with cuddling up to Recep Erdogan and his AKP.

However, the MB had also done a fairly good job of infiltrating the power structure in DC before the current administration took office, so there was likely a pot of prior influence in that direction.
