    I don't know about the rumor.

    But this isn't the first time that someone in Trump's government learned that they were being dumped in the press.

    Trump is a gutless weasel.

    I've heard that rumor but also heard Kelly is behind this move. Who knows what's true.

    From article: "...multiple government officials tell CNN."

    More unnamed unidentified anonymous sources.

    Just more #fakenews being peddled by the Clinton News Network.

    Today the White House already denied these rumors. More fake news by CNN meant to stir turds and discredit Trump.

    I guess that's why Tillerson high tailed it to the White House.

    He knows that these "rumors from anonymous sources" have an annoying habit of being true.

    And Tillerson knows first hand that Trump is a gutless weasel.

    I guess time will tell. More than likely nothing will happen and everyone will forget that CNN told another bogus story.

    Not every story is fake, but far too many of them are. You know, I know and the world knows that the media is on a mission to discredit any GOP politician, especially Trump. The bottom line is your side can do nothing but write stories, meanwhile Trump is still your president.

    Tit for tats by BOTH political side of the aisle. Remind me of all those fake news from the right wing media everyday for the eight years while Obama was in office, and one of the peddler of fake news is sitting in the presidential office. The one that you are cheering for.

    Somehow, these other disreputable organizations have the same news, with NYTimes using "senior administration officials" as their source...

    I'll wait until an actual News Outlet runs the story. CNN should just transition over to printed media so it can sit next to the other junk tabloids at the supermarket checkout where it belongs.

    I do trust Fox, but at the time I was posting I didn't see those other links. It was all riding on the credibility , lol, of CNN.

    The number of papers reporting it doesn't make it more accurate or even true.

    The WH has denied these reports.

    This is very worrying, Tillerson (also Mattis) are Trump's best appointments in a very thin field of contenders

    Tillerson can't walk the plank while NK sprays the Pacific with ICBMs, Trump would go into cardiac arrest. Not that that's a bad thing... ;)

    It's the 3rd or 4th time the Times has made this exact claim. Time to question motives?

    Trumpers can justify anything, any time, anywhere.
    Compared to Donnie Trump, the Reverend Jim Jones was an amateur.
    Trump's people drank the Kool-aid last year, and for them there is no turning back.
    Victory, or death.

    Tillerson is the real deal.. not an effing moron like Trump. I can't imagine him having to hold his nose and work for Trump..

    Tillerson will leave, if not this week, then soon.
