Ping to another good article on why Trump needed to change the SOS. It’s Hugh Hewitt authoring & normally I’m skeptical of him, but what he says here is what I’ve been picking up from other sources for months .... staffing up hasn’t been happening at State & Tillerson isn’t in sync with Trump’s views on things. I hope Pompeo is as good as Hewitt (and others) think he will be. Tillerson also has not been doing much of anything at State to get court ordered Hilly emails released in a timely manner (Judicial Watch has complained bitterly about this) - hopefully Pompeo will make this a higher priority. There’s no love lost between Pompeo & Hilly - she outright lied to him during the Benghazi hearing & he was well aware of it since he already knew the answer to the question he asked her.
The irony is that the career bureaucrats at State are also happy to see Tillerson and his team go.
On that issue they’re in agreement with Trump.
I’m glad Hewitt spoke out. And I’m sure such a story was in the works for some time.
Michael Savage was flying off the handle yesterday that “the way” T Rex was fired was undignified.
The Hewitt story fills in the blank. Trump was purposely sending a message to Tillerson. The President was displeased and now we’ll hopefully start seeing some action at the State Department.
Savage may have been playing some theater. It seems he tries to criticize Trump on purpose to prove he’s not a shill for the Trump. I like Savage a lot, but you often have to take his rants with a grain of salt.
With this new intelligence, I wonder if Savage will change his tune. Probably not. I’ve never heard a conservative radio personality apologize — or admit they were wrong.
