We should not have been told anything until Tillerson had stepped down.

Tillerson should have been fired the first time he publicly opposed the President's position. He has done that several times.

He knows more about employees than any politico or bureaucrat.

He apparently knows the President's position on a number of State issues and proceeds to publically contradict the President on regular occasions. What part of that do you agree with?

Needs confirmation for any other Cabinet position.

I don't think that is true, I seem to recall that issue coming up before.

I’ll wait for WH to confirm or deny this one.

Hw about this quote? Rex, it is a waste of time to negotiate with little Kim.

I’ll believe it if and when I see it happen.

More trial baloons by different members of the administration with their own respective agendas than speculation, I suspect. But that doesn’t make it real.

I think it is true, but I guess we will find out if Tillerson really leaves and Pompeo takes his place. The confirmation hearings are position specific and done by the committees that have oversight of that particular position and government organization.

I am pretty sure I remember this issue coming up early on and the were or did make a movement because it did not require a new Senate approval. But hey I am old and just because I remember everything doesn't mean I am always right.
