Why set up two Senate confirmations? Slip Amb Bolton into State, and let the big dawg eat.

Pompeo is already Senate-confirmed.... if I’m correct?

Laura Ingraham seems to think it has merit - time will tell.

It seemed curious when Mr Tillerson came to the defense of the muslins in Burma who were getting their cummupance at the hands of angry Buddhists.

For the CIA position. He would have to be confirmed for State.

We should not have been told anything until Tillerson had stepped down. All this here is speculation and possibly a few trial balloons. We don’t always need to see the sausages as they’re being made. That can be disgusting and confusing to many.

I wonder why this admin hasn’t a place for Bolton.

Senator Cotton wrote an outstanding essay for Imprimis on the topic of Immigration. Everyone should read it:

Senior administration officials told the New York Times Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., would then take over for Pompeo as director of the CIA.
-
First of all, “Senior administration officials” who leak ANYTHING to the NY Times should be out of a job immediately. Second of all, I wouldn’t be surprised of these “Senior administration officials” were the figment of someone’s imagination.

No wonder Trump calls these people out daily for “fake news.” We’d be fools to believe ANY unattributed report they spew out about anything.

Incredibly stupid. The Senate has 52 Senators and can barely get anything passed. Let’s put it down to 51 and get rid of one of the guys who supports the agenda vis a vis immigration. Tillerson is cleaning house. It’s not Trump who wants him out

I'd rather have Cotton in the Senate...

"We have to stop taking people out of Congress."

I agree. Stop looting the damn'd Senate. We can't afford to lose even a single seat to a "special election".

I remember when ... most every one here seemed to think Tillerson was the cat’s meow of DJT’s appointees. My, my, how things change or is it more of the same with different names?
