Tillerson takes time off as State Dept. refuses to say he is happy in his role

Haha, the rats are fleeing the sinking ship.
Tillerson's job- gut Russians sanctions and get Exxon into Russian oilfields. Absent that, what's the point of being in DC?

Amid reports Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is frustrated and considering resigning, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert refused to say Tuesday whether Tillerson is happy in his current role.
Tillerson is also taking time off at a time when the US faces multiple foreign policy challenges.
Nauert dodged a question about Tillerson's feelings over the White House's involvement in foreign policy decisions.

"The Secretary, as do all other Cabinet officials, meets with the President and the President's national security advisers and Cabinet members. That is something that's normal, that's customary. They sit down, they have a healthy dialogue and conversations about the heaviest and the weightiest foreign policy issues," she said.
