That was when she was at FNC. At State she dresses more conservatively, look upthread.

NO ads for me.
The gist is a denial by the WH that they are tryign to get rid of Rex T:
Nauert said the call from Kelly was to Margaret Peterlin, Tillerson’s chief of staff.
Nauert’s comments came as Tillerson’s future at the State Department was thrust into the spotlight by a report in The New York Times detailing a White House plan to oust the secretary. Nauert dismissed the reports, saying that business would continue as usual at the State Department.

If you actually have clearance to classified information you just leaked something you shouldn’t have.

shh...depends caught it and got it covered
To: AndyJackson
Andy we all knew Rex was doing a good job and I found this suspicious. When Rex had his second round of purges there was lots of discontent with DoS lifetimers. What tipped me off was NY Slimes breaking the story so you knew someone with a grudge leaked it.
