Wonder how Tillerson found out?

Tillerson is a Globalist, and was not in tune with Trump’s agenda which puts America ahead of other countries.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo will take over as secretary of state, and his deputy, Gina Haspel, will become the new CIA director, according to Trump’s tweet.

Concur, Pompeo is a great choice. I think Tillerson was a good “on paper” pick, but something just wasn’t right, or in sync. Not sure if his heart wasn’t really in it, or if he was too used to being the captain of a large corporation or what, but this is probably a very good smoothing out transition for the long haul. Nothing wrong with aligning the cabinet to play to people’s strengths.

I hope that it’s true that Pompeo will be the new SoS. I was concerned that we’d be stuck with the shrill airhead Nimrata Haley instead. The McCain-Graham wing of the GOP doesn’t need any more of a foothold in the Trump White House than it already has.

T Rex probably was not that enthusiastic about Trump’s new tariff stands.

Also, a lot of Clinton’s, Joan Kerry’s and Obama’s left wing POS’s are still in the State Department.

Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo can start pulling those weeds and prevent leaks in upcoming talks with the NORKs and trade talks with those involved in trade wars with us.

Let’s face it. Hillary should have been kicked out as SOS 10 times....at least. She just had, as we now know, too much on Obama.

Here’s the latest moan from the Trump-hating leftists on Twitter reacting to this news: Of course Tillerson was fired a day after he spoke out about the killing of a former KGB agent in the UK by neurotoxin. He (Tillerson) blamed the current Russian government for the killing, and since Trump is in collusion with Russia, Tillerson had to go (to keep quiet the Russian connection to that killing).

I’m sure that’s pure nonsense of course and not the real reason he was fired. But it’s not good optics, to fire him one day after calling Russia out for that hit.

Oh well, it is what it is and the lunatics desperately clinging to this Russian narrative would surely find some other “link” to this and Russia I’m sure if it weren’t for the above. Still though, sucks to constantly have to explain away these damn “connections”. Could’ve waited a couple days or weeks at least.

GE ought to hire Tillerson. He might be able to turn that mess around. But he was a poor choice for SoS.

Maybe, some of Hilliarily’s and Huma’s files will be recovered and released.

Obama State Dept Made Deal With Hillary Allowing Removal Of Records.

Here’s What They Removed.DECEMBER 15, 2017

Newly-revealed documents obtained by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch reveal that the Obama State Department allowed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin to remove sensitive documents that were not to be made public records.

Judicial Watch received the records on Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that sought all DS-1904 forms completed by or on behalf of Former Secretary Hillary Clinton, Former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, and Former Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob Sullivan.

Clinton and Abedin were permitted to remove both electronic and physical records, claiming “they were ‘personal’ materials and ‘unclassified, non-record materials,’ including files of Clinton’s calls and schedules, which were not to be made public.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton noted the gravity of the latest revelations, stating they showed further corruption in the Obama administration and with Clinton.

Trump inherited a mess on foreign policy, one could be on the ball in every area except one, mess that up and perhaps, that was reason enough to be fired.

I'm not happy with this. Trump looks like a rash amateur with a revolving door cabinet. He publicly feuds with his own cabinet members. He fires someone with the prominence of Tillerson — the former CEO of by some measures the largest company in the world — without couching it as a resignation and, if some accounts are to be believed, not letting him know ahead of time. Shaking things up is one thing. This looks more like amateur hour.

Hmm
Tillerson speaks out on Russia.
Trump is mad.
Trump fires Tillerson.

Wonder what blackmail Russia has on Trump. Definitely a strong possibility.

This would explain the love fest between Trump and Russia.

Things are not always as they appear in movies, political drama and propaganda from political factions. Clinton policies have been in effect for more than 20 years and are continuing; it’s an extension of the pushes of the years around 1970.
