When a “news” article starts with a question it is not news, it is conjecture.

More of CNN’s “sources said”

[Enlightened1]

U.S. News & World Report = Fake News

[Slyfox]

Notice the missing objective facts and that no one is named who supplied any facts:

may be considering resigning

People "familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington" told CNN

are said to also be troubled by the turmoil

two sources close to Tillerson said they sensed a change in recent days

How stupid do they think we are?

Tillerson has yet to clean house at State. The anti-Israel Obama holdovers are still in place, and I assume many others are as well.

Drain the swamp/sewer ... or resign.

Fake news. According to the news, everyone is quitting Trump except Mulehead.

False news. It smells putrid. Get it off my shoe!

These are the senior posts at State. Start from the top. Observe how many of them are vacant. At the very top, these are mostly political appointments that should have been filled by now with Trump administration personnel. Lower down the chain, it's a mix of career and political posts. When you do find a job that is actually filled, note how many are "Acting" or, in many cases, are filled by a career person who has been there for years.

Draining the swamp is a fine slogan, but at some point, if you want to effect change, your own people need to take over. Personnel are policy. I assume Tillerson has a small cadre of political appointees in the Office of the Secretary, but below that level, there is simply no Trump Administration at State. The appointments haven't been made or, if made, have yet to be confirmed.

No one is home. It's now nine months after the election and six months after the Inauguration. The Trump Administration hasn't shown up yet. The next Democratic administration isn't going to have to worry about burrowed-in Republicans and a conservative underground at State. At the rate we're going, no Republicans will have gotten inside the building to begin with.

The mood in Foggy Bottom's Mahogany Row

has always been anti-America. Tillerson must have known that going in.

I simply don’t believe you climb to the top of a company like EXXON unless you’re part of the “team” and can be trusted to obey the machine.
