Transition Humint (a step up from Rumint): Foreign Policy edition. Two people named to Obama's foreign policy transition team, a Hill source who informally contributed advice to a campaign working group informs me: Denis McDonough, the foreign policy coordinator for the Obama campaign, former foreign policy advisor to Senator Tom Daschle and former legislative director for Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado; and Mark Lippert, Obama's foreign policy legislative assistant in his Senate office. Lippert previously worked as Tim Rieser’s deputy on the State/Foreign Ops subcommittee for Appropriations.
