He excluded him from the entire process. He announced it while Tillerson was overseas and suddenly Tillerson cancelled events claiming he was ill. He's been undercutting Rexy since day one. He literally served no purpose.

Tom Cotton has been talked about *barf*

Also a Pompeo SecState senate confirmation is probably going to be a rocky affair.

Edit: I see Gina Haspel is tapped for director CIA now
 
Haspel could be a problematic confirmation as well for her role in the CIA's rendition and "enhanced interrogation" (torture) programs as well as directing the coverup of those actions including the destruction of evidence.
 
Tillerson should never have opened his mouth about Russia and that nerve agent. Never offend your handlers in Moscow.

No one puts Puty in the corner.

Sounds like he was asked to step aside before those comments. I am guessing that was a last F U from Tillerson on his way out. The optics of firing him after that isn't exactly positive.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if Tillerson was the one that wanted out and Trump was too proud to let the man quit, he had to fire him.
 
Corrupt President Dummy has turned the United States into a laughing stock and a Moscow adjunct. He's also committing treason. We need to bring back the death penalty for treason.

From what I'm reading this seems to be the case. The exact timing is curious though since Tillerson then went on the Africa trip but got recalled to get canned right then. Maybe he told Trump what he really thought about the Russians privately then spoke the the press about it later.

The optics could not be worse and you have to ask yourself why not wait 48 hours instead of doing it literally an hour after Tillerson makes the comments? What was the necessity that deemed Tillerson must be publicly fired today instead of any of the last 60 days since december when we all thought he would be fired?


Could it be that he embarrassed Moscow and Trump with his announcement hours ago that Russia was responsible for the nerve agent?


Nah, must be a coincidence! Lol.

Apparently for stating the truth that Russia deployed a nerve agent on NATO soil.

The lengths that Trump is willing to go to in order not to antagonize Moscow are pretty godammed extraordinary.

This. The use of the nerve agent is extremely problematic for NATO. To think that Trump wouldn't stand with his NATO allies on this is unconscionable as what happened in England could very well happen here. If tillerson was fired because of this, I think it only add fuel to the fire when impeachment proceedings begin with the next Congress.

May has already accused Putin of committing an offense against a NATO member. UK is considering a response in kind against Russia. As a member of NATO we are obligated to come to the defense of the UK.
