"In addition to Nowrouzzadeh, several other prominent Obama officials currently serve under Sec Tillerson at the State Department. A former John Kerry apprentice, Michael Ratney, occupies the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio there. Another trusted Obama aide, Yael Lempert, also serves under Tillerson on the same platform.

Why Secretary Tillerson has decided to keep on a chief Obama policy official remains unclear."

On Friday, Tillerson said, "Trump is “a man who’s undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things but rather says ‘this is what I believe."

Tillerson also said, "the president would say here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law,'” .

Trump responded, "Rex Tillerson, didn’t have the mental capacity needed. He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell."

It turns out Tillerson was pursueing Obama policies at the State Department and deliberately sabotaging President Trump on Iran policy, relations with Israel, the Paris Accords and other issues.

Trump was correct to fire him and to come down on Tillerson after Tillerson attacked President Trump to the media.

Please correct title: “Iran deal”, NOT “ran deal...”

Current title won’t show up if searched under Iran.

Thanks.

Trump is so naive when it comes to the deep state. Very few of the Obama holdovers have been purged. We are so screwed.
It is very disappointing. If elections no longer work, there is only one alternative for freedom loving patriots.

Another reason Trump should have signed a memo Jan 20, 2017 firing every Obama executive branch hire by the close of business that Friday afternoon. Every single person. Too late now.

WTF? No wonder Trump said that Tillerson was stupid. Time to send this beotch to Greenland, to negotiate with the natives there. Replace her with someone who hated the Iran deal.
