Just saw the org chart on another site, and the resignees are...well...not exactly folks who were needed.

Sorry, NYT, but the net beats your low T reporting.

A minor but important swamp draining step. There will be many more to come I suspect.

Undoubtedly good people . . . and of course needed during transition. However . . .

Individuals involved are either with Tillerson, on board with the agenda or they are against him, in which case they will be a hinderance.

Career State Department personnel are some of the biggest problems we have in DC.
