Rex Tillerson Just Dropped A Bombshell With His Reason For Becoming Sec. of State

[OxQQme]

>"But Tillerson also made some startling comments about his thoughts on being Secretary of State. In an interview with the independent Journal Review, Tillerson was quoted saying:

I didn’t want this job. I didn’t seek this job.
These words won’t fill anyone with confidence, especially in a man who is responsible for managing the United States’ foreign relations.

Tillerson was then asked why he agreed to take on the demanding role, to which he gave a fairly simple answer:

My wife told me I’m supposed to do this."<

1. He was offered the job after a short first-time meeting

There's no way that Putin didn't hand him a name and Donny was ready to give him SoS the moment he walked in.

What does the timeline look like between nominating Tillerson and meeting with the Russian ambassador at Trump tower? Maybe that was why he was so concerned about wiretaps.

[BigOleDummy]

16. Exactly!

I think there's much more to these Russian "links" than even WE care to consider. His acolytes are only in it for the money and/or power. Too much money involved and it mostly seems to come from Putin and HIS acolytes!

I keep thinking of the monologue of Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver"... Someday a REAL rain is going to fall and wash all the scum off the streets. Replace "streets" with Senate and Executive Branch and we have a winner!

2. Yeah, isn't that speshul - somebody threatening preemptive wars who doesn't give a shit!1

[IronLionZion]

3. Then bring back either of the last 2 people who held the job

there are people who are much better qualified and want the job

[crazycatlady]

19. I'd take Condi Rice over him

[C_U_L8R]

4. Clearly. He acts like he doesn't want to be there.

Rex, you can leave, y'know.

[L. Coyote]

5. What is he suppossed to say? "Rosneft is paying me millions to do this."

The man was hired by a liar to be a liar. So, his bullshit answer is an obvious lie.

[BSdetect]

6. ROSNEFT

Another pig in the money.

Why do they try to hide their greed?

[bettyellen]

7. Since the real reason is Putin he's hiding behind his wife and god.

[karynnj]

8. More amazing is that it was the first time he ever met Trump and it was to discuss becoming SoS

and ended in him being offered the job!

As to that comment, note that the more complete quote suggested it was to do God's will! Seriously imagine that HRC had said that Bill Clinton pushed her to take the job or if John Kerry said that Teresa pushed him to do so -- and that either spouse mentioned that God had plans for them.

9. His wife makes sense.

40 plus years of working for ExxonMobil and their biggest fortune yet could come from oil leases held up in Russia by US sanctions?

“I told you God’s not through with you.”

Prosperity gospel - of course!

[JTFrog]

10. What, he wants a medal for taking the money since she wanted it more than him?

Fuck off you lying liar.


Lock Them Up!

[WoonTars]

11. Quite literally phoning it in...

...

[Grizzled Ol Granddad]

12. The Clusterfuck Continues

This isn/t an administration, it's an abomination.

[SunSeeker]

13. Tillerson just wants to finish the $1T Exxon oil deal with Putin and quit.

It is obvious that is why Trump hired him and that is why he took the job.

[thesquanderer]

14. Yes, he will grow increasingly fatigued...

[elmac]

15. mama made me do it nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

17. Wait. Tillerson's wife is named Vladimir?

[ogsball]

18. I think you can assume. . .

. . . that whatever Putin has on Trump. It's at least as bad or worse for Tillerson.

Pictures, fortunes, crimes, the fear of death. Whatever it is it must be significant.
