Is Tillerson Getting Ready to Quit?
U.S. News & World Report ^ | July 24, 2017 | Gabrielle Levy

Posted on 07/24/2017 1:48:26 PM PDT by EveningStar

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson may be considering resigning from his job as frustrations with the Trump administration may have him nearing the end of his rope.

People "familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington" told CNN the mood in Foggy Bottom's Mahogany Row has grown increasingly dark in recent days, particularly since President Donald Trump gave an interview to The New York Times in which he publicly rebuked Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Tillerson and others are said to also be troubled by the turmoil at the White House, resulting in last week's shake up of Trump's legal team, the hiring of new communications director Anthony Scaramucci and the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer.

This could very well be just more fake news and rumors packed as political propaganda from the MSM

Anyway, you serve at the pleasure of the President. All Cabinet heads need to remember that.

When I think of “unseemly and immature” I immediately think of many of Trump’s tweets. He’s wasting the power of the bully pulpit of the Presidency.

my email to Gabrielle...just now....when I have the time I call these people on their Fake news...

“All, and I mean all here is conjecture. Absolutely, not factual News. You don’t cite any ‘real’ source.This is your slanted opinion. And the above is mine. But if you give me some hard facts, I will consider changing my mind and perhaps buying your publication.”

Sessions needs to fire RosenKrantz for the appearance of collusion with Mueller and Comey.

Yes, and soon you will hear CNN reporting it as “fact” from un-named sources, and by tomorrow, ALL of the MSM will be saying that “....multiple news outlets are reporting....”, and they all, intentionally and in collusion with each other, give life to these stories, and then keep them floating for as long as possible. “It’s what they do...”.

Tillerson fired numerous senior State department personnel and posts have been going empty world wide as he gets rid of career personnel.

There is no complaints at Tillerson’s level. The complaints are from all the people scared that their position is next.

Mr. Trump. Fire Sessions. Fire Tillerson. Manage your managers privately but with an iron fist.

I place this solidly in the column for “fake news”.

President Trump, just like Businessman Trump, does not make glaring errors in his judgment of people. It is not like Rex Tillerson was a completely unknown to Donald Trump.

When a “news” article starts with a question it is not news, it is conjecture.

What a bunch of nonsense. Should the administration reply to EVERY fake news story? And let the media drive the agenda? Quite the opposite. You ignore it, and go about your business.

Why would Tillerson be upset over a story involving Sessions?

How right you are, Nick. /s Let’s review some of the other things you’ve been “right” about over the last two years.

- This is all a PR stunt. Trump will drop out before the convention. It’s all about building up his brand.

Then a year later that morphed into,

- Trump has no intention of winning. He will either drop out or intentionally throw the race to Hillary.

Notice the missing objective facts and that no one is named who supplied any facts:

may be considering resigning

People "familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington" told CNN

are said to also be troubled by the turmoil

two sources close to Tillerson said they sensed a change in recent days

How stupid do they think we are?
