He made a serious mistake appointing her head of the State Department and I think in the interview he gave this year when he stated that his biggest mistake was not handling Libya well, he was subtly criticizing the horrible advice he got from Hillary and her people. I don't think he was too thrilled with her service after that first term and was probably glad to be done with her.

There is a foreign policy "industry" or "establishment" now who take presidents (or presidential candidates) under their wing and convince them to follow the neoconservative/neoliberal paradigm that we've always followed. This is why Hillary scares me (she's been an active member and follow of this establishment), and why both Trump and Bernie scare the foreign policy establishment (although I believe Trump's stupidity will eventually see him yielding foreign policy decisions to the establishment people).

These emails are pretty interesting - going to spend some time reading though as many as I can.
