A person of my acquaintance who used to work with Rex Tillerson remarked to me at the time of his nomination, "I can't imagine a less diplomatic person. He's one of those old oil guys. You can dress him up and put a suit on him, but he is always going to be rough and ready."
Tillerson had met with Putin many times while CEO of Exxon. It is rather interesting that he would caution Russia as part of his exit speech. Is anyone not in an opiod induced haze still buying "NO COLLUSION?"
Can H.R. McMaster and John Kelly be far behind?
Professor Allan Lichtman who has called 30+ years of presidential elections and predicted Trump's win also predicted that Trump will be impeached. It doesn't seem too likely at the moment, but the professor pointed out that Trump is a compulsive liar and Mueller is lining up a host of witnesses.
