Or "Robert Kagan", or any destructive neocon who Hillary admires so much.

Bill Clinton never named anyone during his primary candidacy, and, going into the presidency, he had way less FP knowledge than Bernie ever had. Almost none, as he himself admitted to the Pentagon once he got into office.

Bill actually didn't do a bad job in foreign policy, and, unlike Hillary would, he didn't surround himself with neocons.

Bill Clinton didn't during his primary candidacy. Was Bill Clinton "embarrassed"?

Getting briefed by as many as he can, has not yet formed lasting connections with any one adviser, which would come later should it be necessary.
